Subject: American Citizen Charles Li Xiangchun

Your Excellency,

May I bring your attention to Dr. Charles Li, an American citizen and Falun Gong practitioner.

On 22 January this year, Dr. Charles Li from Menlow Park, California was arrested as soon as he landed at Guangzhou Airport.

In Sweden, we got to know that hundreds of Falun Gong practitioners have been tortured to death. Outside Mainland China peaceful practitioners are subjected to slander by Chinese officials. We have also observed that even those who support their peaceful struggle for basic rights are being subjected to threats and intimidation.

The recent arrest of Charles Li is outrageous to all the people of the free world who treasure freedom of speech and belief.

Kindly look into this case and please let us know about the progress.

Respectfully,

Swedish family
