Australia: The Leader of Australian Democrats Supports Falun Gong Practitioners' Legal Case against Jiang Zemin (Photos)
(Clearwisdom.net) On March 8 and May 4, Ms. Lyn Allison, the leader of
the Australian Democrats and Parliament Member, wrote to Ms. Zhang Cuiying, a
Falun Gong practitioner and the plaintiff of the case against Jiang Zeming. Her
letters are in support of Falun Gong practitioners. MP Allison expressed: 'The
Democrats are horrified by the stories of murder, torture and imprisonment of
Falun Gong practitioners in China. ...we believe that the Australian government
must speak out on their behalf." In the letters, MPAllison said: "Thank you for your letter of 19th
February regarding the legal case against Jiang Zemin on behalf of Falun Gong
victim. You mention that the case was heard in February. I hope that you were
able to feel that the outcome brought some justice to your colleague." "I encourage you to continue your work. The news of a possible
international legal approach to this situation is very welcome. Countries must
be held to account when they fail to uphold international law and to abide by
international conventions; particularly when they deal with human rights and
are, in many cases a matter of life or death." "The Democrats are horrified by the stories of murder, torture and
imprisonment of Falun Gong practitioners in China. Many Australian Citizens have
relatives in China who are being subjected to such persecution, and we believe
that the Australian government must speak out on their behalf." Two letters from Ms. Lyn Allison, the leader of Australian Democrats and
Parliament Member Posting date: 5/13/2007
