EDITOR: As a longtime reader and admirer of the Star-News, I was very surprised to see the Jan. 21 Associated Press article "Chinese government shows off repentant Falun Gong followers."

This article was given to the AP directly from the Chinese Communist government, which allows no freedom of press.

International Human Rights organizations such as Amnesty International and Human Rights organizations, along with the U.S. House of Representatives, have already condemned the persecution of Falun Gong by the Chinese government.

The "self-immolation" incident reported in the article has already been renounced worldwide as a hoax by the Chinese Communist Party to further implicate and persecute Falun Gong.

I was very disappointed that the article gave no real opposing opinion to that of the Chinese Communist Party. Given that the Chinese government is currently waging what has been increasingly been called genocide by international observers against Falun Gong, it would seem impossible to get an objective viewpoint simply by quoting the Chinese government's point of view.
