Dear Friends:

I am most pleased to extend warm greetings to all gathered for today's rally to "End the Persecution of Falun Gong."

Over the years, the Congress has repeatedly expressed its concern about the deplorable human rights conditions in China. I have joined in these efforts during my service in the Senate to ensure that this matter receives the appropriate attention of the international community. The government of China has outlawed the practice of Falun Gong, imprisoned many followers, and prosecuted group leaders. The Chinese government continues to deny systematically to members of Falun Gong basic and international recognized rights and freedoms.

As one who is deeply concerned about this matter, I have repeatedly contacted the Department of State to urge that our government continue to convey to Chinese authorities the concern with which we view the worsening conditions for practitioners of Falun Gong. You may be assured of my continued efforts in this regard.

Please accept my best wishes for a productive and successful rally.

With best regards,

Sincerely,

Paul Sarbanes
United States Senator
