Dear Prime Minister,

I am writing to express Sooke Council's support for the practitioners of Falun Gong. Council urges the Federal Government to pressure for the release of Mr. Shenli Lin and He Lizhi's husband, and all the Falun Gong practitioners who are illegally detained in the People's Republic of China.

Please find enclosed a copy of Sooke Council's resolution and letter to Jiang Zemin, President of China.

Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

Yours truly,

á

Janet Evans
Councilor
