Mr. Speaker, the next petition I am tabling draws the attention of the House to the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners.
The petitioners highlight that Falun Gong is a traditional Chinese spiritual discipline that consists of meditation, exercises and moral teachings based on the principles of truthfulness, compassion and tolerance. They describe, in some detail in this petition, the persecution that Falun Gong practitioners have faced and continue to face, including, among other things, forced organ harvesting.
The petitioners ask the House to pass a resolution to establish measures to stop the Chinese Communist regime's crime of systematically murdering Falun Gong practitioners for their organs. They want to see the government more forcefully call for an end to the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners.
