I am 25 years old and a member of [a certain church]. I have been aware of the spiritual practice of Falun Gong for over 3 years. I have read Zhuan Falun and through meetings with UK Falun Gong practitioners, I have found their commitment to their spiritual practice and their opposition to the persecution in China, heartfelt and passionate.

Whatever one believes, and whatever spiritual path one chooses to take, no one should be persecuted, arrested and tortured for their entirely peaceful spiritual beliefs.

I read accounts of Chinese Falun Gong practitioners, and have been moved very deeply by their courage and compassion - compassion even for those who torture them.

An account I read about female Chinese practitioners undergoing torture, still deeply affects me, and has moved me to tears. Female Chinese practitioners have been forced to have their healthy babies aborted whilst under arrest. As an expectant mother, this horrifies me, and I can't imagine the terrible suffering that these women have had to bear.

Jiang Zemin's regime is in blatant breach of human rights. The Chinese government has ordered the arrest and torture of it's own citizens, people who's only crime is the wish to meditate and read a book that helps them to become more tolerant and kind.
