Open Letter to the Singapore Consul in Austria
2005-05-12A few days ago, only authorities in China would punish people for distributing these materials. Unfortunately, Singapore's justice system is following China’s footsteps by punishing people for speaking the truth. We appeal for your help, to call upon the government of Singapore to reverse this decision and handle this case justly in accordance with the law. No government should sacrifice freedoms and liberty for the mere purpose of currying favour with the Communist regime in Beijing. Any short-term benefits such actions would reap are vastly overshadowed by the damage done to Singapore's rule of law, its reputation in the international community and the well-being of its people. -

Lawyer Defending Falun Gong Practitioners’ Rights Falls Victim to the Persecution in China
2005-05-10It is indeed surprising that a Chinese lawyer would even accept the defence of Falun Gong practitioners, thus challenging the party, the government, the judicial courts and the police of a country that routinely violates the human rights of its citizens. On February 23rd 2005, several cadres of the Shanghai Justice Ministry broke into the lawyer’s office and confiscated his computer and all of the files of his twenty year practice. Police officers are monitoring his home around the clock and his home phone is being answered by an answering machine; the Shanghai Justice Ministry has taken away his license and neither his family nor his friends have been able to contact him since March 10th.
