Libby Davies, MP Vancouver East
March 31st, 2006-4-3
Hon.Peter MacKay
Minister of Foreign Affairs
Lester B. Pearson Building

Ottawa, ON K1A 0G2
Dear Minister,
I am concerned about recent reports of an underground prison in Shenyang City, Liaoning province in China where Falun Gong prisoners of conscience are being killed and their organs harvested and sold for profit. There are reports that Sujuatun prison camp holds over 6,000 detainees and is equipped with crematorium and that no prisoner has been known to leave the facility.
I urge the Canadian government to use all measure possible to ensure there is an independent and objective investigation of these reports, to verify what is the nature of the detention, extermination and organ harvesting taking place in Suiatun prison.
I hope you will agree that Canada cannot remain silent in the face of these serious reports. I believe it is incumbent on us, to use our influence in the international community that the International Declaration of Human Rights and other UN Conventions that prohibit torture, and inhumane treatment and unethical practices are not being violated.
I would appreciate knowing what you intend to do as Foreign Minister in taking action in response to these reports.
Yours sincerely,
Libby Davies ( signed )
Vancouver East
