【大紀元2月27日訊】 隨著全球聲援大陸反迫害維權絕食活動的持續開展,越來越多的主流社會各界人士關注和支持這一和平非暴力抗爭。二月二十日,加拿大國會議員羅伯.安德斯給加拿大絕食聲援團發來了一封支持信,信中寫道:「人權律師高智晟和其他和他一樣勇敢的人們遭受了政府的騷擾與迫害,但他和其他支持自由的人士們所發動的接力絕食引起了(世人)對(中國維權)狀況的關注,也是在告訴中共無論他們怎樣企圖扼殺自由,人民的意願往往比壓制來得更強大。」
信件全文如下:
2006年2月20日,星期一
中國在過去幾年裡言論自由與人權狀況日趨惡化。那些曾經為無力反抗北京極權政府的弱勢群體呼籲的維權人士如今也漸趨沉默。
人權律師高智晟和其他和他一樣勇敢的人們遭受了政府的騷擾與迫害,但他和其他支持自由的人士們所發動的接力絕食引起了(世人)對(中國維權)狀況的關注,也是在告訴中共無論他們怎樣企圖扼殺自由,人民的意願往往比壓制來得更強大。
引述托馬斯.傑佛遜的話,「人們逐漸覺醒後,身心的暴虐與壓制就會像罪惡的幽靈一樣消失在黎明破曉之中。」
此致!
卡加利西部國會議員

支持信原文:
Monday, February 20, 2006
In the past years, freedom of speech and human rights have further deteriorated in the People’s Republic of China. Advocates working on behalf those that are powerless against the authoritarian state in Beijing are now in turn being silenced.
Brave people such as human rights lawyer Gao Zhisheng have been subjected to
harassment and persecution by the government. The rolling hunger strike he and other supporters of freedom have initiated brings attention to this situation and puts the Communist Party of China on alert that no matter how ruthlessly they attempt to crush liberty, the will of the people is strongest than that of oppression.
To quote Thomas Jefferson, “Enlighten the people generally, and tyranny and oppressions of body and mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day.”
Sincerely
Rob Anders, MP
