--guarantee the safety of those individuals who have been arrested by police forces following the incident at the Changchun television station, and immediately release the names and whereabouts of those incarcerated;
--ensure that all detained individuals are immediately provided with access to legal representation and medical care as well as be allowed visits with their family members;
-- immediately and unconditionally release all incarcerated Falun Gong members who are being held against their will, solely because they are exercising their constitutional rights.
I am also expressing my concerns regarding repeated reports of Falun Gong members having become victims of torture and other grave human rights abuses, and demand that [Chinese] officials proceed against the guilty parties according to the Rule of Law.
