Media Pays Attention to a Chinese Attorney's Open Letter on the Persecution of Falun Gong

(Clearwisdom.net) Mr. Gao Zhixu, one of the Ten Excellent Attorneys in China, handled many well-known cases in China, offered his services for free to one-third of his clients, those who were needy. Though Mr. Gao knows well the corruption in China's judicial systems, when he acted as attorney for Falun Gong practitioners, he was still shocked at the plight of the practitioners, being completely deprived of human rights. Thus, he wrote an open letter to the China National People's Congress.

Central News Agency reported on January 3, 2004 that the well-known attorney Mr. Gao wrote to Wu Bangguo, Chairman of the People's Congress about the law enforcement department's brutal infringement of Falun Gong practitioners' citizen rights. He also called on government to recognize the practitioners' citizenship.

It is rare in China for anyone to stand up in public for Falun Gong practitioners' rights, since the regime has persecuted Falun Gong since 1999.

Hong Kong's Ming Bao reported that Mr. Gao wrote an open letter to Chairman Wu Bangguo of the Chinese People's Congress. He said in the letter that he had received many appeals and letters from Falun Gong practitioners who were tortured in prisons or labor camps. Mr. Gao pointed out that local government abused Falun Gong practitioners by imprisoning them in labor camps. He "felt extreme sorrow," and wrote to Wu Bangguo.

Citizens Protecting Rights commented that the issues mentioned in the letter clearly show severe problems in the judicial system, and brutal trampling of citizens' human rights. Therefore, the net called for signatures from Chinese citizens.

Up to January 2, fifty-four people have signed in support, including Mr. Hu Jia, activist in protecting the rights of Chinese patients with AIDS.
