Since the communist takeover of China in 1949, the Chinese Communist Party has mounted regular anti-religious campaigns and actively prosecutes religious minorities such as Tibetan, Uyghur, Muslims and Christian communities.

22 years ago, on July 20, 1999, the Chinese Communist Party has launched a brutal campaign to eliminate Falun Gong spiritual movement. Today, after 22 years, this brutal repression continues. Since 1999 millions of Falun Gong practitioners have been imprisoned, tortured, or killed, including by criminal harvesting of their organs for illicit transplantation.

If you are interested in finding more about the prosecution of the Falun Gong movement see a video, about 3 mins, that includes video messages from Senators Eric Abetz, Connie Fierravanti – Wells and Professor David Flint: https://www.facebook.com/falungongnsw/videos/335934784746893/ See also, the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China #IPAC statement that was published on Twitter https://twitter.com/ipacglobal/status/1417244104619171846/photo/1 and an article by John Deller published in Epoch Times : https://www.theepochtimes.com/20-july-anniversary-of-a-persecution-targeting-the-world_3907953.html

History tells us that the persecution of religious and minority groups by a state leads only to one result; the submission of the state to the will of the people. I hope that in the not-too-distant future, Chinese people will be able to practice their religion in freedom again.
