澳洲华人联署致澳总理及国会议员公开信

据悉，中共总理温家宝将于4月访问澳大利亚。作为澳洲华人，我们写信给你们，恳切希望你们在与温家宝的接触和会见中能够谈及中国极端恶劣的人权问题。最近几年，中国人权状况急剧恶化，其惨烈程度超出澳大利亚等西方民主国家人民的想像。

中共的国家安全特工、便衣警察、制服警察和众多显然由政府雇用的黑社会打手在中共中央政府的指使下大规模地使用黑手党手段对付维权律师、政治异议人士、精神信仰人士、新闻记者、普通上访民众、失地农民、作家学者和社会工作者及其亲友，对他们进行了空前的非人道的迫害。其手段包括光天化日之下进行暴力袭击、绑架、私设刑堂、长期非法囚禁、酷刑、围堵骚扰、贴身跟踪，禁聘律师、不加审判地投入监狱，巧妙设计进行裁赃和暗杀，以及切断通讯、进行死亡恐吓等。中共当局对高智晟、郭飞熊等数十个著名维权律师的迫害尤其惨无人道。连律师都受尽迫害，普通民众更是人人自危。中国高层领导和司法部门对此装聋作哑、视而不见，媒体记者一律被割喉噤声。中共当局的所作所为正在迅速黑社会化，法律成了废纸，恐怖笼罩着中国大陆。

中共政府对法轮功信仰者持续6年多的迫害更是骇人听闻，已经有3052个法轮功练习者被确认迫害致死。最近中国辽宁省沈阳市苏家屯法轮功集中营惨案曝光。据报导，该集中营关押了约6,000个法轮功成员，其中4000人被活体摘除所有器官，以谋取暴利。中共政府高层一反常态，迄今未公开表态或宣布进行调查。残存的2000人生死未卜。另外，有无数的法轮功成员正在中共监狱和劳改营中经受着酷刑、强制洗脑的煎熬，并随时可能被夺去生命。

民主、自由、人权价值是澳大利亚的立国基石。我们不反对澳大利亚与中国发展正常的贸易往来，但认为澳大利亚的立国基石不应该因此而有所动摇。同时，我们认为澳大利亚作为一个民主自由国家向一个军事上正在崛起的共产专制大国出口铀矿无疑是一种短视的自杀行为。中共少将朱成虎关于中国计划打核大战狂言犹在耳边回响。一个暴力、狡诈的共产党集团完全不可信任，冷战时代苏联对西方民主国家的核战争威胁不应忘记。

我们呼吁霍华德总理和澳大利亚国会两院议员本着人性和良知的理念关注中国正在发生的严重违反人权的事实，我们希望你们能够：

一、 敦促中共政府立即停止对维权律师和其他异议和信仰人士的残酷迫害；

二、 敦促中共政府立即释放４0，000多位被关押的政治犯、良心犯和信仰人士；

三、 要求中共政府立即允许由独立的国际权威组织对苏家屯集中营案进行公正的调查。

四、 从澳大利亚国家安全和长远利益出发，以负责的精神，慎重、正确地处理与共产专制中
国的政治、经济和军事等领域的关系。

顺致崇高敬意。

Hon. John Howard and MPs and Senators
Parliament House
Canberra, ACT 2600
Australia

27 March 2006

An Open Letter to Prime Minister John Howard and
all MPs and Senators of Australia
Signed by Some Australian Chinese
(draft)

The Honourable John Howard and MPs and Senators of the Commonwealth of Australia,

It is reported that the Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao will be visiting Australia in April. As Australian Chinese, we write to you, asking you to raise the issue of extremely severe human rights abuses in China during your contacts and meetings with Wen Jiabao. In the last few years, China’s human rights situation has deteriorated dramatically, to the point where it has gone beyond the worst imagination of the people from western democratic countries such as Australia.

China’s state security agents, plain-clothes and uniformed police and thugs hired by the government have been, on a large scale, resorting to evil mafia style methods to carry out unprecedented and inhumane persecution against a vast cross section of Chinese society. This includes but is not limited to: human rights lawyers, political dissidents, people with spiritual beliefs, journalists, people who appeal to higher authorities for justice, farmers who have been deprived of their land, writers and scholars, social workers and even their relatives. The abuses include violent attacks in public, kidnapping, establishing kangaroo courts, long-term illegal imprisonment, torture, containment and harassment, intimate man-to-man surveillance, being sent to prison without the presence of lawyers and any procedure of trial, skillfully designed attempts of framing and assassinating, and even cutting off communication to the outside and giving death ultimatum, etc.. The Chinese authorities’ persecution against dozens of human rights lawyers such as Mr. Gao Zhisheng and Mr. Guo Feixiong is especially inhumane. In China even lawyers are persecuted, everybody is living in terror. China’s senior leaders and judicial departments ignore such persecution as if they had never seen or heard about it. All the media remain silent and gagged. The Chinese authorities’ savage behaviors is speeding up the pace of transforming the society into a Mafia-like one; Laws in China are merely waste paper；Terror and fear enshroud the whole of mainland China.

The Chinese Regime’s persecution against Falun Gong, which has lasted over 6 years, is even more appalling. It is confirmed that 3052 Falun Gong practitioners have been persecuted to death. Recently the Sujiatun Concentration Camp in Shenyang, China was revealed to the public. Over 6000 Falun Gong practitioners had been detained in the Sujiatun Concentration Camp, among which some 4000 have been victims of organ harvesting for transplant operations. The Chinese senior leaders have unusually remained silent and have not made any comments or declared to investigate further. The fate of the 2000 Falun Gong practitioners left is uncertain. In addition, there are over 30,000 Falun Gong practitioners still experiencing torture and forced spiritual brainwashing in the jails and labor camps of China. Their lives are at immediate risk.

The values of democracy, freedom, and human rights are the foundation of the nation of Australia. We do not oppose the Australian Government developing normal trade relations with China. However, we hold that the foundation of Australia should not be shaken. Further more, we believe that it is a short-sighted and suicidal action for a free and democratic country like Australia to export uranium to a communist totalitarian regime with a growing military strength. The Chinese Major-General Zhu Chenghu’s crazy threat of planning to launch a nuclear world war is still echoing in our ears. A brutal and sly communist regime can never be trusted.

We call upon the Honourable Prime Minister and all members of the Parliament of Australia, for the sake of the integrity of humanity and conscience, to pay attention to the facts of severe human rights abuses taking place in China. We hope you can

1. Urge the Chinese Government to stop immediately, the brutal persecution against human rights lawyers, dissidents, and people with beliefs and religion;

2. Urge the Chinese Government to release over 40,000 political dissidents, prisoners of conscience and people with beliefs and religion in jails.

3. Urge the Chinese Government to allow immediately an independent and authentic international organization to carry out a thorough investigation of the Sujiatun Concentration Camp case.

4. Handle cautiously and properly relations with the communist totalitarian government of China in the fields of politics, economy, and military cooperation, while seriously considering the responsibility of the national security and long-term interest of Australia.

With high respect.
