To the Honourable Speaker and Members of the House of Representatives Assembled in Parliament:

The petition of certain citizens of Australia and visitors of Australia, draw to the attention of the House the persecution of Falun Dafa in China.

Since 1992, Falun Dafa touched over 100 million people in over 40 countries. In July 1999, China’s leadership launched a crackdown on Falun Dafa. The crackdown is a breach of basic human rights and the fundamental rights to assembly and free expression. Since then, over 100 million Falun Dafa practitioners (including more than 130 who have been persecuted to death), peacefully endure the unfair treatment for the sake of the principles “Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance”.

Your petitioners therefore pray the House to act immediately on behalf of the petitioners to address China’s leadership “in order to resolve the present crises that is taking place in China”, to urge China’s leadership:

   1)     To stop the persecution of Falun Dafa immediately.

   2)     To withdraw the warrant of arrest of Mr. Li Hongzhi immediately.

   3)     To stop torture and release all jailed Falun Dafa practitioners immediately.

   4)     To clarify all false propaganda used to defame Falun Dafa immediately.
