The following is a translation of a letter sent by Falun Dafa practitioners in Russia to their president, in which they ask for help in stopping the persecution in China.

"We are Russian citizens who feel that we have a responsibility to tell you, our president, about Falun Dafa and realate the truth about the persecution of Falun Gong happening in China. Falun Dafa, also called Falun Gong, is a modern Qigong system of cultivation practice that cultivates both mind and body."

" We request that you, the Russian government, and Russian social organizations help stop this unfair persecution of peaceful Falun Dafa practitioners and the slandering of Falun Dafa."

"We are full of confidence in your wisdom, compassion, and ability to make a choice with foresight."
