加拿大猶太人組織支持人權聖火傳遞加國
【大紀元5月21日訊】（大紀元訊）由「法輪功受迫害真相聯合調查團」及多個國際人權組織聯合發起的全球「人權聖火」 5月4日進入加拿大後，受到政府、民間、人權團體等多方的歡迎。近日，加拿大猶太人組織也為聖火傳遞發來賀信支持，並譴責中共違反人權的暴行。
信中表示：「我們感謝全球人權聖火傳遞的主辦者、參加者，使這個活動圓滿成功，你們同時也點亮一盞燈，讓最惡劣的人權侵犯行為公諸於世。」
「生活在加拿大的人很幸運，有信仰、言論和結社自由，這是一個珍惜基本自由的國度。」
信中譴責， 在中國，任何得不到政府許可的信仰都被壓制。而且經常是殘酷的壓制。目前，這包括基督徒、維吾爾穆斯林，西藏喇嘛和法輪功團體。在烏孜別克被中國抓捕的加籍人士Celil至今仍然沒有消息。
在國際上，中國致使其他的極權政府，如蘇丹、盧旺達，去殘害無辜；中國長期以來連同聯合國的伊斯蘭會議組織，長期妖魔化自由、和平的以色列，否認以色列的合法性， 而卻庇護人權侵犯者，不加以制裁。
資助恐怖份子的伊朗、敘利亞政府應當受到國際社會的孤立，但是中國卻給他們提供武器，使無數人的生命受到威脅。
信中最後說：「猶太人的經歷是我們常常是孤單的面對迫害。所以，今天，加拿大猶太人組織在這裡與所有全世界受過中國政府迫害的受害人，那些渴望尊重，容忍和自由的人民站在一起。我們要求中國政府改善其人權記錄，並且尊重生命。」
加拿大猶太人組織建立與1875年以來，率先在反猶太主義，種族歧視，人權、以及在推動一些重大社會問題上做了許多工作，並提供重要的社會服務， 因此得到社會的尊重。
信件英文全文如下:
The Global Human Rights Torch Relay (HRTR) – B’nai Brith Canada Speech
B’nai Brith Canada is the independent voice of the Jewish community,
representing its interests nationwide to government, NGO’s and the wider
Canadian public.
Since 1875, it has been respected for its groundbreaking work on matters
relating to anti-Semitism, racism and human rights, its strong advocacy on
the pressing issues of the day, and the important social services it
provides.
Freedom of religion. Freedom of speech. Freedom of association. We are truly
blessed to live in Canada, a country that cherishes these fundamental
freedoms.
In China, any belief that is not officially endorsed by the government is
repressed. Often brutally. Today, this includes the Christian, Uyghur
Muslim, Tibetan Buddhist and Falun Gong communities. Huseyin Celil, a
Canadian Citizen abducted by China in Uzbekistan, is still missing from his
family and loved ones.
Internationally, China enables dictators to commit their atrocities in Sudan
and Rwanda. China consistently votes with the Organization of Islamic
Conference at the United Nations, a grouping of countries that regularly
attempts to demonize and de-legitimize the free and democratic State of
Israel while shielding true Human Rights violators from sanction. Terror
sponsoring regimes such as Iran and Syria should be internationally
isolated, but instead China supplies them with weaponry, putting countless
lives at stake.
The Jewish experience has all too often been that when we faced persecution,
we faced it alone. That is why, today, B’nai Brith Canada stands in
solidarity with all the victims of Chinese oppression around the world, who
yearn for the respect, tolerance and freedom that they deserve. We ask
China to improve its record of human rights, and respect for human life.
We thank the organizers and participants of the Global Human Rights Torch
Relay for making this event a success, and shining a light on some of the
worst human rights violations in the world today.
