【光明網6月20日訊】
尊敬的先生或女士：
得知纽省居民的五位亲属至今仍在非法关押之中，我们非常震惊。唐乙文、颜海玉、张阿莲、陈瑞昌、和梁子慧均在劳教所遭受折磨。这一切仅仅是因为她们修炼法轮功，一种教人“真善忍”的祥和的功法。
国际社会认为由于信仰原因而监禁别人，是一种对人权的侵犯，对人性的亵渎。国际公约和中国自己的宪法均保障个人信仰自由，中国也是国际公民和政治权利公约、及联合国人权公约的签署国。
纵观历史，对人性的侵犯最终结果不外乎是接受国际社会的审判。目前在美国进行的对中国前领导人、发动迫害的江氏的诉讼案，以及在法国对“610办公室”的起诉，即为明证。
我们知道有个法网恢恢网站，收录了两万多参与迫害的恶人名录，追查迫害法轮功国际组织也在系统调查对法轮功学员犯下的罪行，其中也包括澳洲公民的亲属。
广东省是纽省的姐妹省，我们不希望看到那里对犯罪行为的姑息，也不希望看到将来有人被审判。
我们希望所有因为信仰而被关押的人们都能被释放，同他们的家人团圆。我们在此呼吁立即无条件释放以下澳洲公民和居民的亲人：
Lisa Liang女士的妹妹唐乙文
颜智辉先生的姐姐颜海玉
张小刚博士的姐姐张阿莲
Richard Chen的哥哥陈瑞昌
Richard Chen的嫂子梁子慧
我们也呼吁立即释放所有被关押的法轮功学员。他们是良心犯，绝不应被剥夺自由。
请您把这句话转达您的亲朋好友、街坊邻居，这是为他们好：请不要参与迫害无辜。历史教给我们，盲目跟从上级命令并不能成为参与犯罪的借口，对人类的犯罪总要遭受惩罚。
当迫害结束的那一天，那些珍重自己良心的人们定会收获善果，最重要的是，会在内心中找到和平。

Tang Yiwen, Yan Haiyu, and Zhang Alian’s former places of education and work
Dear Sir or Madam,
We, individuals and organisations from New South Wales in Australia, sister state of Guangdong Province, are shocked to learn that five of our citizen’s family members Ms Tang Yiwen, Ms Yan Haiyu, Ms Zhang Alian, Mr. Chen Ruichang and Mrs Chen are being incarcerated and subject to abuse in forced labour camps, and the only reason of their incarceration is that they practise Falun Gong, a peaceful self-improvement system that teaches the principle of “Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance”.
Imprisonment of any person based on his or her beliefs is regarded by the international community as a gross violation of human rights, an act against humanity. Both International laws and China’s own constitution offer protection for freedom of beliefs, and China is a signatory of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the United Nation’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Throughout history, crimes against humanity have always ended up in trials by the international community. The lawsuits in the US and in Switzerland against China’ former president Jiang Zemin, who orchestrated this persecution, and the lawsuit in France against the “610 Office” which carries out this persecution, clearly reflect this.
We understand that over 20,000 cases of persecution have been filed at www.fawanghuihui.org, and The World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong is carrying out systematic investigations into the crimes of torture against Falun Gong practitioners, including these members of Australian citizens’ families.
Guangdong Province is sister state of New South Wales, we do not wish to see any crime against humanity being tolerated there, nor do we wish to see anybody being convicted.
All those who are incarcerated for their beliefs must be released, and be reunited with their families. We hereby call for the immediate and unconditional release of：
Ms Tang Yiwen – sister of Ms. Lisa Liang
Ms Yan Haiyu – sister of Mr. Yan Zhihui
Ms Zhang Alian – sister of Dr. Zhang Xiaogang
Mr. Chen Ruichang – brother of Mr. Richard Chen
Mr. Liang Zihui—sister-in-law of Mr. Richard Chen
We also call for the immediate and unconditional release of all Falun Gong practitioners being incarcerated. They are prisoners of conscience and should never have been deprived of freedom.
Please pass this message to your friends, colleagues, and neighbors for their sake: – do not take part in this persecution against the innocent. History has taught us that blindly carrying out orders from superiors does not constitute an excuse for anyone to partake in crimes committed against humanity, and such crimes will be punished.
When this persecution comes to an end, those who valued his or her conscience will most definitely find greater rewards, and more importantly find peace in their hearts.
Yours sincerely,
The undersigned from Australia
