(Minghui.org) Falun Gong practitioners in 45 countries submitted another list of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials who participated in the persecution of Falun Gong in July 2025, 26 years after the CCP ordered the persecution. The practitioners demand their governments to hold the perpetrators accountable, barring them and/or their family members from entry and freezing their assets.

According to a report published by the World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG), the CCP highlighted a goal in a May 2024 meeting organized by the Ministry of Public Security, “Pay special attention to the cooperation between Falun Gong and Western politicians to sanction high-level Chinese leaders.

Twenty-six years after the CCP ordered the persecution, Falun Gong practitioners are still being arrested, harassed, sentenced, tortured and killed every day. More and more governments have come to know the brutality of the persecution, as well as the evil nature of the CCP and the harm it brings to the world.
On December 10, 2024, Human Rights Day, Global Affairs Canada announced that it would sanction eight former or current senior CCP officials for human rights violations involving Falun Gong practitioners, Xinjiang residents, and Tibetans.
“Canada is deeply concerned by the human rights violations in Xinjiang and Tibet and against those who practise Falun Gong,” said Mélanie Joly, minister of Foreign Affairs, in a press release. “We call on the Chinese government to put an end to this systematic campaign of repression and uphold its international human rights obligations.”
On May 5, 2025, the U.S. House of Representatives unanimously passed the Falun Gong Protection Act. The bill would be the first binding commitment to impose legal sanctions on those who participate in the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners, including the crime of live organ harvesting. The bill also demands that the CCP stop its persecution of Falun Gong immediately.
On July 20, 2025, the 26th anniversary of the persecution, the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC) issued a statement on X: “Since 1999, Falun Gong practitioners have faced surveillance, detention, torture and ideological persecution. A mounting body of evidence now makes it hard to avoid the conclusion that they have been the victims of a state-run program of forced organ harvesting.”
IPAC also “reaffirms the universal right to freedom of thought and of religion as is enshrined in international law. No person should face persecution for their beliefs. We stand with Falun Gong practitioners and all other persecuted communities in the People’s Republic of China, who are denied their Article 18 rights, and we reiterate our call to our governments to uphold and defend religious freedom worldwide by holding the Chinese authorities accountable for their abuses.”
In addition, a U.S. State Department spokesperson told The Epoch Times, “For over 26 years, the CCP has waged a campaign of repression against practitioners of Falun Gong and their families. We again call on the CCP to end its campaign to eradicate Falun Gong.”
In Canada, 54 Parliamentarians issued a joint statement condemning the CCP’s ongoing persecution and its escalating transnational repression around July 20, 2025. The statement said, “Over the past 26 years, Falun Gong practitioners in Canada have endured surveillance, harassment, intimidation, assault, disinformation, cyberattacks, and other forms of CCP repression. These actions not only harm the Falun Gong community and disrupt Shen Yun, but also threaten the integrity of Canada’s institutions, sovereignty, and core democratic values. … In the statement issued in June 2025, the G7 Leaders affirmed their commitment to protect communities and condemned transnational repressions as a serious threat to rights and freedoms, national security, and state sovereignty. The CCP’s campaign against Falun Gong clearly exemplifies the very dangers the G7 has called on the world to resist together.”
During a forum hosted by the Global Service Center for Quitting the CCP at the Capitol Hill in the U.S. on July 17, 2025, Sam Brownback, former Ambassador at Large for International Religious Freedom, said through a live video conference, “I’ve worked for Falun Gong people for 20 or 25 years now in different capacities, and the Chinese Communist Party just loathes this group, and they treat them worse than anybody.”
Brownback also said, “Falun Gong is very natural to the Chinese mentality and the Chinese heart, and I think that’s why the Chinese Communist Party so fears and does everything it possibly can to stomp out this faith. They won’t get it done because it’s a physical man attacking a spiritual entity; it’s the kingdom of man against the kingdom of God.”
We hope that more CCP officials will stop persecuting Falun Gong and restore Falun Gong practitioners’ legal right to freely practice their belief.
