Local U.S. Government Officials Should Support Falun Gong
(Clearwisdom.net) On July 29, 2004, Dan Sanchez wrote a critical letter
to SanGabriel Valley Tribune (CA) about local government officials' improper
comments on Falun Gong. Mr. Sanchez pointed out that Falun Gong is now freely
practiced in more than 60 countries while unfortunately it is being suppressed
in China since 1999. Because of the persecution, he said that there is
documentation of at least 1,000 practitioners being persecuted to death, while
actually number is much higher. "Hundreds of thousands have been detained, with hundreds of thousands
sentenced to prisons, forced labor camps, brainwashing centers, and mental
hospitals, typically without trial," Mr. Sanchez wrote in the letter. Dan said that his own daughter Gina went to Tiananmen Square to tell Chinese
that Falun Gong is good and is being freely practiced in many other nations.
Gina and other western fellows were brutalized and arrested by Chinese police,
Dan said. In conclusion, Dan said: "Local U.S. government officials should support
efforts to eradicate human rights abuses and not knowingly or unknowingly repeat
defamatory slander against persecuted groups like Falun Gong."
