Overseas Chinese wrote a letter to the former president of the Central Committee of the National People's Congress, Qiao Shi. They appealed to him to uphold justice and to help immediately stop Jiang Zemin's unlawful crackdown on Falun Gong.
The letter read, "In the People's Republic of China, the ground of Tiananmen Square, which is in front of the Monument to the People's Heroes, is stained with the blood of peaceful, kindhearted Falun Gong practitioners who are being brutally beaten. What crimes have these people committed? All they appeal for is a legal cultivation environment. Even in the face of such terrible beatings, these goodhearted compatriots do not hit back when hit and do not curse back when cursed. How could they intend to overthrow the government?"
"Jiang Zemin keeps saying: "Political stability is above all other concerns" and he uses such slogans to deceive most government officials and the people. Actually, he is the one who is most evil. He is the representative and a behind-the-scenes supporter of the corruption, degeneration and moral decay in China. In fact, he totally made up the accusation that Falun Gong is a reason for China's unstable society."
The letter appealed: "Mr. Qiao Shi, as a former key leader in the Chinese government, you cannot sit back and allow it to go on. It is time to bring things back to order using your prestige and influence! The people's Public Security system cannot allow such a bunch of vicious persons to continue to brutally torture its people. For the benefit of the nation and the future of the people, we should call for all the levels in the Party, the regime and the army, along with all conscientious and righteous people, to not be deceived and oppressed anymore. It is time for you to step forward, uphold justice and firmly isolate Jiang Zemin. Together, let us resist and immediately put an end to the criminal acts of Jiang Zemin, Zeng Qinhong, Luo Gan and their followers in the suppression of Falun Gong and one day bring them to justice."
