of the letter from Congressman Weiner.
Congress of the Untied States
House of Representatives
Washington, DC 20515-3209
September 6, 2004
Dear (name omitted):
Thank you for contacting me regarding the tragedy which
befell the Australian Falun Gong practitioners visiting South Africa. I share
your sense of horror.
You are right to condemn acts of violence perpetrated against
individuals for their religious beliefs. I have consistently supported efforts
in Congress to make those who commit "hate crimes" eligible for more
severe punishment. And I have repeatedly demanded that the Chinese government
relent in their persecution of those who practice Falun Gong. You can be sure I
will continue to work hard on these issues in the future.
Again, thank you for contacting me. Please do not hesitate to
be in touch in the future on this or any other issue of concern.
Sincerely,
Anthony D. Weiner
Member of Congress
