We are very surprised to hear that a citizen of you country, Charles Li, was detained at Guangzhou airport by the Chinese Government, during a business trip. The sole reason for his detention is that he is a Falun Gong practitioner. [This shows that] the Chinese government's behaviour is becoming more and more unreasonable and [..] they are ignoring International Law, while becoming more and more irrational in persecuting Falun Gong.
It's apparent to the world that Falun Gong is a peaceful and harmonious cultivation way, by which practitioners regain health in both body and spirit, while raising their moral standards at the same time. There are more than 100 million people practising Falun Gong in more than 60 countries worldwide. But, the Chinese government simply ignores the truth and continues to persecute practitioners using beatings, torture, and even killing thousands of people, breaking up their families and rendering them homeless. Furthermore the persecution has spread overseas, with the illegal detention of a US practitioner. This is absolutely intolerable.
We sincerely hope the US government, [..] will help Charles Li and do all in their power to obtain his release as soon as possible.
Best regards,
Citizens from South of Sweden
