致中國領事館官員

閣下：

我代表我的法輪大法修煉者的會員們給你寫這封信。

我的會員們告訴我，他們的同修在中國遭受到曠日持久的鎮壓，折磨和監禁的迫害，只因為他們的信仰。

歷史上全世界的工會都是衛護人類的人權的，不管他們是甚麼民族和信仰，為此，當我聽到法輪功修煉者們在承受堅持信仰的基本人權遭到踐踏的痛苦時，我感到非常不安。

我們省工會極其關注一直並繼續在發生的法輪功學員未經法律程序被關押以及在關押期間被酷刑折磨的事實，我們也極其關注國際特赦組織所報告的法輪功女學員被性侵犯以及至少73名法輪功學員在關押期間被迫害致死。

從國際特赦組織的報告很明顯看到，這些罪惡的迫害是中華人民共和國政府一手操辦和支持的。

AMWU(製造業)省工會在此態度鮮明地譴責這種踐踏人權的行徑，基於問題的緊迫性，請你迅速向你們的政府轉達我們的關注。

我等待著你在這個問題上儘早的回答。

你真誠的

Your Excellency

I am writing to you on behalf of a number of our members who are practitioners of Falun Dafa.

I am advised by our members that their fellow practitioners in China are the victims of ongoing persecution, torture and imprisonment because of their beliefs.

Trade Union throughout the world have historically defended the human rights of all people, regardless of their nationality or beliefs. On this basis, I am very disturbed to hear allegation that members of Falun Gong are suffering violation of their very basic human right to practice within their own beliefs.

It is of great concern to the State Council of our Union that there are continuing allegations of imprisonment without trial of Falun Gong practitioners and the torture of those who are imprisoned. We are also greatly concerned at reports by Amnesty International of sexual abuse of Falun Gong prisoners and the deaths in custody of at least 73 practitioners.

It appears from the Amnesty reports that these very gross violations are supported and perpetrated by the Government of the People’s Republic of China.

The State Council of the AMWU unequivocally condemns these human rights violations and asks that you should convey our concerns to your Government as a matter of urgency.

I look forward to your response and advice on this matted at your earliest possible opportunity.

Yours Sincerely

Paul Bastian
State Secretary
