The Honourable Paul Martin
Prime Minster

The Honourable Pierre Pettigrew
Minister of Foreign Affairs

The Honourable Judy Sgro
Minister of Citizenship & Immigration

Dear Prime Minister & Ministers,

I am writing on behalf of my constituent, Mr. Zhang Chunyu, whose mother and sister are being held by the Public Security Bureau of the People's Republic of China. (Please see attached email for background information).

Like many MPs, I continue to be very concerned about the violation of human rights in China and the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners.

I have, along with other MPs, raised this issue with the Canadian government on many occasions, and urge you to express Canada's strong opposition to the violation of basic human rights in China.

You may recall the arrest and detention of two Canadians in China - Ying Zhu and Shenli Lin, both Falun Gong practitioners who were later released because of the strong intervention by human rights groups and government officials in Canada.

As a country that prides itself on its humanitarian record, I once again urge you to consider Mr. Chun-yu Zhang's call to help his mother Hui-zhen Yang and Chun-gang Zhang - to secure their release and safety.

Yours sincerely,

Libby Davies, MP
Vancouver East
