PETITION TO THE HOUSE OF COMMONS IN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED

We, the undersigned residents of Canada, draw the attention of the House of Commons to the following:

Whereas the Canadian Parliament has unanimously passed the Justice for Victims of Corrupt Foreign Officials Act, also known as the Sergei Magnitsky Act, to sanction corrupt foreign officials who, among others, are responsible for gross violations of internationally recognized human rights;

Whereas the Former Chinese Communist Party leader Jiang Zemin and his cohorts personally ordered, launched, orchestrated and executed the eradication campaign against Falun Gong using state apparatus, including the extrajudicial torture and killing of Falun Gong practitioners in large numbers with impunity for the past 19 years for their beliefs in "truthfulness, compassion and tolerance”; and whereas Falun Gong practitioners have been killed for their organs in China on a massive scale, which has been well documented and widely reported;

Whereas extensive evidence points to fourteen key officials and former officials of the Chinese communist regime who demonstrate prime culpability in the human rights atrocities committed against Falun Gong practitioners in China.

Therefore, we, the undersigned, urge the Government of Canada to deploy all legal sanctions, including the freezing of assets, and barring of entry to Canada, against these perpetrators under the Sergei Magnitsky Act.

Presented to the House of Commons
