Australian Foreign Minister: "The Government Will Pursue Human Rights Issues, Including the Treatment of Falun Gong Practitioners, with China for as Long as Necessary."
(Clearwisdom.net)
Dear Senator,
Thank you for your letter of 21 October 2002, [...] concerning China's treatment of Falun Gong practitioners.
Australia takes no position on the doctrine or practices of Falun Gong, but considers China's ban on Falun Gong breaches fundamental rights of assembly and expression. The Government believes the maltreatment of Falun Gong practitioners in China contravenes the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), which China has signed, but not ratified, as well as the Convention Against Torture. Australia has repeatedly urged China to ratify the ICCPR, and with a minimum of reservations.

Re.: Human Rights in China
Dear Mrs. (name ommited):
Business Week: Rights group looks at China and techs
(Clearwisdom.net) Human rights group Amnesty International has fingered a handful of tech companies that allegedly have sold products used in government censorship of Internet speech in China.
In a report released Tuesday, Amnesty said 33 people have been detained in recent years for downloading or distributing politically subversive information via the Internet, three of whom died in custody. Many of these detainees are associated with the Falun Gong spiritual movement and with pro-democracy activities.
