US Congressman Condemns the Hate Crime Committed Against the Australian Falun Gong Practitioners Visiting South Africa

(Clearwisdom.net) On September 6, 2004, US Congressman Anthony D. Weiner wrote to Falun Gong practitioner to condemn the acts of violence perpetrated against Falun Gong practitioners. The following is the text 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
