Alliance formed to bar communist villains from Taiwan

Taiwan’s Legislative Yuan as well as twelve city and county councils in the country have passed motions not to invite, receive, or welcome Chinese Communist Party (CCP) rights violators, reported www.theepochtimes.com Feb 14. This followed the launch on Feb 8 of a “No CCP Villain International Alliance” by groups and individuals who say they are, or have been, persecuted by CCP officials in China.

The alliance’s founding groups were reported to include the Falun Gong Human Rights Lawyers Working Group, Victims of Investment in China Association (VICA), Taiwan Friends of Tibet, human rights activists, and a number of individuals and their families.

The report said the alliance had already handed its first list of over 11,000 CCP officials to Taiwanese legislator Chen Ting-Fei to be forwarded to the National Immigration Agency and the Mainland Affairs Council of Taiwan. Chen Zhenggao, governor of Liaoning and planning to visit Taiwan on Feb 15, and Wang Sanyun, governor of Anhui province and planning to visit in April were reported to be in the list.

Taiwan Friends of Tibet was reported to have put up a list of 14 people from three Chinese governmental institutions. The report quoted the group’s President Chou Mei-li as saying: “The director of China’s State Administration of Religious Affairs persecutes Tibetans for their religious beliefs. Officials in Qinghai Province and the Qinghai Department of Education sabotage Tibet’s ethnic culture. The chief of police in the Tibetan Autonomous Region instigates officers to arrest Tibetan intellectuals, writers, artists, thinkers, and monks.”

The group has said the alliance is a global platform based in Taiwan and aims to protect the human rights of people in China.
