Dear Prime Minister,

I am a French citizen and a practitioner of Falun Dafa, a traditional meditation school based on the principles of Truth, Compassion and Tolerance. Please allow me to raise my concern over the case of Mrs Lili Lin. This young lady, also a practitioner of Falun Dafa, has asked for political asylum in your country. Her asylum was refused because of an administrative problem of address. Therefore she risks being sent back to China at any time. You must be well aware of the terror awaiting her and her unborn child if this was to happen (she is six weeks pregnant). Indeed, Jiang Zemin's regime has been violently persecuting the practitioners of Falun Dafa since July 1999. He imprisons, tortures, rapes and kills all those who refuse to renounce their peaceful belief in Truth, Compassion and Tolerance.

Jiang Zemin and the 610 Office [an illegal agency specifically created to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party and all other political and judiciary systems, its role is to chase Falun Dafa practitioners all over the country; some compare it to the notorious Nazi Gestapo] mobilise all the State machinery and use the most modern techniques to defame Falun Dafa, and even spread lies abroad and incite hatred on a large scale.

For his own motives, Jiang Zemin scorns national and international laws with impunity. The vast majority of the Chinese population suffers terribly from this persecution. We don't have any political agenda; we merely seek to protect Falun Dafa and those who practise it. We cannot watch without doing anything while basic human rights are trodden upon and completely disregarded.

We think it would be regrettable for a democratic country to deport a woman who has always behaved righteously to a country where her life and that of her unborn child would be threatened simply for her practise of FalunáDafa. We humbly ask you from the bottom of our hearts to reconsider Mrs Lili Lin's case and allow her to live peacefully with her husband in the United Kingdom.

Thank you for your attention to this most important concern.

Yours sincerely,

Falun Dafa Association of France
