A letter regarding the UN resolution passed on BeiJing Olympics

Filed under: USA, Other Related News   |  October 31st, 2007

Dear Secretary General,

The promotion of this United Nations resolution and vote by China and other nations has done nothing to correct China’s policies. China continues to persecute its citizens and deny important and basic human rights. China’s record, in reality, has not improved, but worsened, in recent years, since gaining Olympic endorsement. The most recent and tragic example is the kidnapping and imprisonment of the Nobel Peace nominee, and human rights attorney, Gao Zhisheng. Examples of rights violations, organ harvesting, and commercial exploitation of the poor or disenfranchised are blatant. China has a vast network of forced labor camps, where Christians, Protestants, Falun Gong practitioners, human rights advocates and political dissenters are imprisoned, tortured and murdered. The number of Falun Gong practitioners who have been killed is now estimated at over 3,000. he number of Falun Gong adherents in forced labor camps is greater than 250,000. Their status, health and treatment is largely unknown, and many have themselves fallen ill, only to become victims of organ harvesting for profit. This UN vote is nothing more than a disguise and license to continue abhorrent and genocidal practices, backed by the insensible and collective denial of rest of the nations of world, similar to the denial of Holocaust after WWII.
