Zhiwen Wang and his daughter Danielle in Beijing before the persecution against Falun Gong began on July 20, 1999.

Free My Dad, Zhiwen Wang

Target:
Chinese President, Hu Jintao
Sponsored by: 

My dad, Zhiwen Wang, was illegally sentenced to a 16-year prison term for practicing Falun Gong. Little news about him and his condition filters out of China to me and my family. I know that my dad has been tortured in attempt to make him renounce his belief in Falun Gong and its principles of truthfulness, compassion, and forbearance. He has never given in. I want to rescue my dad and bring him home to stay with me in America where he will be safe.

I hope all kindhearted people of the world will help me to free my father from the Chinese prison controlled by the Communist regime, so that he can freely believe what he wants to believe and I can see my dear father again. 

Your signatures and voices are rays of light piercing the darkness in China that runs so rampantly beneath the surface. Every petition entry is a step closer to my dad's release and the end of the persecution of Falun Gong.


Thank you for your support!

Whereas,           Falun Gong (also called Falun Dafa) is an ancient and peaceful practice of meditation and self-improvement from China which is guided by the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance.

 

Whereas,           Fearing that the popularity of Falun Gong was a threat in his atheist state, the Chinese leader in 1999 declared Falun Gong illegal and launched a nation-wide campaign to eradicate the practice through violence, torture, and brainwashing.   Several thousand Falun Gong adherents are known to have been tortured to death.

 

Whereas,           Among the first Falun Gong adherents to be imprisoned in the persecution was Zhiwen Wang, father of American Danielle Wang.

 

Whereas,           On December 27, 1999, Zhiwen Wang was sentenced in a show trial to 16 years in a Chinese prison solely on the basis of his believe in Falun Gong and its moral precepts of Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance.

 

Whereas,           Zhiwen Wang has been imprisoned for the past eight years and is currently held at Qianjin prison, where he has been repeatedly tortured and deprived of sleep and food.

 

Whereas,            The persecution of Falun Gong adherents like Zhiwen Wang is a violation of both the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Chinese constitution, which guarantee freedom of belief.

 

Therefore,         We hereby call upon the Chinese president Hu Jintao to immediately release Zhiwen Wang from detention in China and allow him to be reunited with his daughter in the United States.

Truthfulness (Zhen), compassion (Shan), forbearance (Ren) are the universal principals that Falun Dafa-Practitioners follow. Falun Dafa is good. Stop the persecution of Falun Dafa. Time rushes. Good will be rewarded with good, bad will be repayd with bad.

Hu Jintao, why do you persecute Falun Gong practitioners? are they doing any evil? they are doing al the contrary, they are doing good with themselves and with other people, are there obscure interests behind this persecution? does this government prefer to profit from taxes from chemical pharmeceutical industry instead of Falun Gong? or is this government so ignorant that believes in witchery in the XXI century? so ignorant is it? I don't think so due to the advanced industries you boast about. I don't say please, that's to beg, I DEMAND YOU TO FREE ALL THOSE INNOCENT PEOPLE AND STOP PERSECUTING THAT HEALTHY PRACTICE. I know what is to pass through the process of having a father at a hospital for several times and being subjected to medical procedures, it's the most horrible of the nightmares, my dad passed away just one month ago and I hope you will have a dear relative of yours passing by this so that you can see how it feels, and some day you will, since nobody is eternally healthy nor eternal, and you will remember all those people just as human as your relative whom you persecuted.

Mr Hu Jintao, Please immediately release Zhiwen Wang and all the other Falun Gong practitioners currently illegally detained in China. How can a practice that believes in the universal characteristics of truthfulness, forbearance and compassion which makes one a better person, be a serious threat to China. Please awaken your conscience and do the right thing.

In every county around the world there have been leaders who have chosen to make the the same types of out dated disitions as the leaders before them. Those disitions will define those leaders and their country as being unable to stand up for themselves and because of this they will forever be standing in the way of a better future. I believe a great leader should be brave enough to do the right thing. True bravery should be the hardest thing you will ever need to do. Any county's history will show you that the best events in the world were created by ending a bad decision and creating new rules and laws that have the best intrests of all people involved no mater there race, sex, social status, religion, or beliefs. Brave Leader's will only be able to effect great change for a select number of their people, and that person will forever be rememberd as a great Leader for being brave enough to Lead.

Falun Gong practitioners are GOOD people. I don't see anything wrong with the universal principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, & Forbearance. If not for those principles, then what is purpose of life then? Therefore, please re-consider freeing Zhiwen Wang! His family needs him just as yours need you!!

Mr. Hu Jinao: What purpose is gained by imprisoning the followers of Falun Gong? They seek only truthfulness, compassion and forbearance...is that a crime? Surely you and other leaders govern with these principles! If not, perhaps you should to make China a "better country" for ALL of your countrymen. Please search your heart and do the right thing by releasing Zhiwen Wang and the other followers of Falun Gong...they deserve their freedom Jack E Dail
