Our latest rescue campaign concerns the recent arrest and potential sentencing of Dr. Charles Li, a U.S. citizen who was detained after arriving at the Guangzhou Airport on January 22, 2003.
Because of China's grave record of human rights abuses, particularly with regard to Falun Gong practitioners, we have reason to believe that Dr. Li is in danger of torture or worse, and we ask that our government intervene immediately on his behalf. It is absolutely unacceptable for a person to be arrested simply for his personal beliefs.
We call out to all Americans, especially the Colorado government officials, to please act quickly to help bring Dr. Li back to the U.S. safely.
If we the public and the government stand together and continue to express our concern for the Falun Gong issue and continue to put pressure on Chinese authorities, the persecution will soon end. As an American college student, I feel fortunate to have the opportunity to establish a student Organisation to support those who have had their most basic human rights taken away from them just for wanting to improve their health and for seeking to live by the values of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance.
Falun Gong practitioners in China, we students will not stop our efforts until you regain your freedom.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak today.
