Secretary Colin Powell Department of State 2201 C St, NW Washington, DC 20520

המזכיר פאוול היקר:

בעודנו מתחילים את השנה החדשה ואת הקונגרס האמריקני ה-108, מאוד מייאש לראות שנעשתה התקדמות קטנה בנושא הבאת קץ לרדיפה של מתרגלי הפאלון גונג. הממשלה הסינית ממשיכה לכלוא, לענות ולרצוח אנשים שלווים אלה פחדה ואי הבנתה את תנועת הפאלון גונג. למרות שאנחנו חושבים שכל מתרגלי הפאלון גונג ברחבי העולם צריכים להיחלץ מרדיפה כזו, עניין מיוחד מעוררים אלה שיש להם בני משפחה בארה"ב. אנחנו, חברי נציגות הקונגרס של ניו-ג'רזי החתומים למטה, ברחשי כבוד דורשים שינוצלו כל האמצעים המעשיים לקרוא לשחרורם המיידי של כל מתרגלי הפאלון גונג הכלואים שיש להם קרובי משפחה בארה"ב.

כעת ישנם 37 מתרגלי פאלון גונג הכלואים ברפובליקה העממית של סין שיש להם בני משפחה המתגוררים בארה"ב. רשימת אנשים אלה והרקע הרלוונטי מצורף למכתב זה. אנחנו דורשים שהסטייט דיפרטמנט יעיין שוב ברשימה זו, ויעביר אותה הלאה לממשלה הסינית ביחד עם עתירה עבור שחרורם המיידי של אנשים אלה. הרדיפה הבלתי אנושית אחרי מתרגלי הפאלון גונג היא עלבון לזכויות האדם, וכזאת לא ניתן להתיר אותה. אנא עשה את הכל ביכולתך כדי להבטיח שאי צדק חמור זה יובא לסיומו.

תודה על תשומת לבך לעניין החשוב ביותר הזה. בכבוד רב,

Rob Andrews Chris Smith Rush Holt Jim Saxton Frank LoBiondo Frank Pallone, Jr. Mike Ferguson Bob Menendez Steven Rothman Donald Payne
