forcefully and publicly against China's abuses of basic human rights, in
particular, with respect to practitioners of Falun Gong. MP Martin also
requested that the Minister ask the Chinese government to release Falun Gong

The Honorable Irwin Cotler
Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada
Room 900, Justice Building
House of Commons
Ottawa, ON K1A 0A6
Dear Minister Cotler:
This concerns Jiangang Huang, a 34 year old communications
engineer whose sister Limin Huang is a Canadian citizen. Mr. Huang is a
practitioner of Falun Gong who was arrested illegally and put into a labour camp
for two years without a judicial process. When his prison term ended in December
15, 2002, Mr. Huang was transferred to the Dafeng Fangquian labour camp for
brainwashing. Currently his family does not know where he is but they suspect he
is still in the labour camp. They do know that he has not been released from
incarceration.
This is another horrible case of outrageous violation of
innocent people's rights that the government in China is exercising. I am
asking, therefore, that you speak forcefully and publicly against China's abuses
of their people's basic human rights, in particular, those who are practitioners
of Falun Gong. I would also request that you ask the Chinese government to
release Mr. Huang to his family. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Yours sincerely,
Keith Martin, M.P.
