Dear [Representative of the Falun Dafa Association]

Thank you for your email of August 6, 2002 regarding the trial of Falun Gong practitioners in Hong Kong. I am grieved to hear of the recent problem in Hong Kong.

As in similar cases, I will appeal to the federal Liberal government for them to make a clear statement on this matter specifically and the larger persecution of Falun Gong members, especially by the Chinese government.

We will continue the struggle with you.

Yours sincerely,

[A Member of Parliament from British Columbia]

Editor's Note: In letters of support coming from government officials who are standing up and speaking out for Falun Gong, Clearwisdom will often remove officials' names. This is done because Chinese officials search Falun Dafa websites for this information. Government officials speaking up for Falun Gong often receive letters and propaganda packages smearing Falun Gong from Chinese officials. Some receive personal visits and threats of difficult relations with China for their constituents if they don't retract their support. Practitioners' names are often omitted for similar reasons.
