SpeechYongjun Zhou Ladies and Gentlemen: On behalf of my friend Mr. Lian Shengde, Free China Movement and Campaign for Abolishment of Laojiao Concentration Camp, I speak out. As fighters for freedom and democracy in China, we dare to say that we have a brave heart like American firefighters. But we must say thanks to American people and US government. Thanks for your long time support, thank you for your help when we in need. America is the most powerful nation in the world, not only for its economy, but also for its faith and spirit. America is the beacon light of the world, not just because the US is the super power in the world, but for her founding value of democracy and freedom idealism, a government of the people, by and for the people. This great nation is the advocator for freedom, democracy, human rights and justice, within and beyond her border. When I was incarcerated in labor concentration camp, I was coerced to undergo deprogramming with dissidents, Falun Gong practitioners and Christians. In those indoctrination government documents, books and materials, Jiang and his envoys label us who are standing here, many individuals who attend this rally, and all sponsoring and cosponsoring groups and organizations as hostile forces, or influence from enemy power. And even without declaration of war, Jiang's government has been assaulting us, regardless of what we are doing are crying for justice, respect of human rights and peace. The historic records shows that Jiang's ruthless regime is not a lawful government, but a criminal mafia. Jiang leads his Mafiosoes to persecute political dissenters, Christians, Falun Gong practitioners and ordinary people. He has clearly demonstrated his contempt of fundamental human rights. Now he is till holding my friends Mr. Yang Jianli, secretly detaining Dr. Wang Bingzhang, Mr. Yue Wu and Ms. Zhang qi. His countless cri me is far more than the total plus of King Zhong Il, Ceocescu, Pol Pot, Central Africa's Jan Beld Pokasa, Piro Kit and Milosovik. But now that Ceocescu and Pokasa have been executed, Piro Kit and Milosovik are being put on trial, what is Jiang's treatment? Why Jiang should be the state guest of US? Is it because he is the most vicious dictator in today's world? Is it because he can support extremist countries and terrorists with mass killing weapons, robbed money and stolen technology from the West? Or just because he and his mafia can suppress 1.3 billion Chinese people and keep the most populated nation fall far behind the world? Facing this evil "head of largest terrorist regime", president Bush, please tell me, where are the principles? Where is the justice? Please recall just one year before the 9-11 disaster, in South China Sea, Jiang's government dare to send one pilot air combat to hit US 24-pilots Surveillance plane, and seeded hate against US in Chinese young generation with lying words. Was it a teaching class for terrorists to use American planes to hit American heart target? Dictatorship is the enemy of democracy. Chinese Communist regime can never be the strategic partner of US, but strategic enemy. So, for Jiang's up coming visiting, what is useful message can we bring for Mr. Jiang? It is: "Stop Human Rights Atrocities Now" and please show your principles by refusing to shake the bloody hands of Dictator Jiang thus to preserve the hope, which Chinese people has for this great country: justice and human rights! 2002.10.11 -------------------------- |
