• Open Letter from Practitioners' Relatives to the United Nations Human Rights Council Condemns Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Atrocities Against Falun Gong

  2009-02-24
  The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) submitted a report on human rights in China to the United Nations. The CCP is trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the international community, just as it has done in the past. It is behaving dishonourably in its use of organizations under its control, including so-called "independent" human rights organizations that cannot operate without its consent. These organizations exist to dupe the intended audience and keep the CCP in power. We, relatives of Falun Gong practitioners in China, who suffer severely under the inhuman persecution meted out by the CCP, wish to testify about the true human rights situation in China. We have witnessed the Party's brutality, witnessed the Party's tyranny, and are privy to the Party's lies and shameless behaviour.
