WHEREAS, on July 20, 1999, President Jiang Zemin of the People's Republic of China officially banned the practice of Falun Gong in China and initiated a brutal persecution campaign that has included the murder of hundreds of practitioners and the imprisonment and torture of tens of thousands during the past two years; and
