Official petition

PETITION TO THE HOUSE OF COMMONS AND THE GOVERNMENT OF CANADA We, the undersigned residents of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to urge the Government of Canada to call for the end of the persecution of Falun Gong in China and to take stronger measures to combat the Chinese Communist Party's transnational repression in Canada. WHEREAS: The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has engaged in a 26-year campaign of eradication against Falun Gong practitioners, who follow the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance; Falun Gong practitioners in China have suffered severe human rights abuses, including mass arbitrary detention, torture, killing, and forced organ harvesting on a large scale; In Canada, Falun Gong adherents have been subjected to transnational repression and foreign interference by the CCP, including harassment, surveillance, intimidation, disinformation, and other forms of sabotage; Recent incidents include bomb and shooting threats targeting Shen Yun, a classical Chinese dance and music performance presented globally by the Falun Gong community that showcases the traditional China before communism and also exposes the CCP's atrocities; The G7 leaders have condemned transnational repression as a serious threat to fundamental rights and freedoms, nationals security, and state sovereignty. THEREFORE, your petitioners call upon the Government of Canada to proactively deploy all possible avenues to: 1. Publicly call on the Chinese regime to end its persecution of Falun Gong in China and transnational repression abroad; 2. Continue to impose sanctions on and pursue accountability for CCP officials and proxies responsible for these human rights violations; 3. Take stronger measures to protect the Falun Gong community targeted by foreign repression.
