Mr. Speaker, my next petition is from folks who are deeply concerned about the ongoing persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in the People's Republic of China.
The petitioners share some of the history of that persecution and call on the House to strongly condemn this persecution, continue to take steps to combat that persecution, and express its solidarity with Falun Gong practitioners, who seek to simply engage in a peaceful, meditative practice and advance the principles of truthfulness, compassion and tolerance.
