Witnesses said that coercion, only coercion and nothing but coercion, exists in Chinese UNFPA program
WASHINGTON, June 21, 2002 (LSN.ca) - The Population Research Institute, along with a coalition of over 140 groups, representing millions of Americans and hundreds of thousands from around the world, submitted a letter to President Bush yesterday asking him not to fund the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). The letter, which was also signed by LifeSite, focused on the UNFPA's continuing support of China's coercive abortion policy.
The letter aims to prove to the president that UNFPA is violating a US law which prohibits US funds from going to groups that support or manage programs of forced abortion and non- voluntary sterilization overseas. It urges the president to view the recent State Department investigation into forced abortion in China with caution. "The Chinese government agreed to receive this delegation. It was likely monitored by the Chinese government throughout the duration of its investigation. The delegation provided twenty-four hours notice of its travel plans to the Chinese. This was more than enough time for the Chinese government to have alerted officials of their coming, and for cover stories of "voluntarism" to be in place," warns the letter.
The letter recalls that during September 27-30, 2001, a team of independent investigators from Population Research Institute recorded audio- and videotaped victims and witnesses testimonies of coercion in UNFPA's "model" county program in Sihui, Guandong Province, China. "More than two-dozen victims and witnesses said that coercion, only coercion and nothing but coercion, exists in this UNFPA county program in China, in which the SFPC and the UNFPA have expressed in writing that they 'work together'."
