A new alliance launched in Taipei on Tuesday last week has reportedly compiled a list of more than 11,000 Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials it says should be barred from visiting Taiwan for the role they have played in human rights abuses in China.

The “No CCP Villain International Alliance” (www.noccpvillain.org), which comprises groups such as the Victims of Investment in China Association (VICA), the Taiwan Friends of Tibet and the Falun Gong Human Rights Lawyers Working Group, as well as human rights activists and individuals who were persecuted by Chinese authorities, has handed its list to Democratic Progressive Party Legislator Chen Ting-fei (陳亭妃), who is expected to pass it on to the National Immigration Agency (NIA) and the Mainland Affairs Council (MAC), the Epoch Times reported on Monday.

Dear Friends,

   We had a magical first Walk for Tibet day through St. Augustine, Florida yesterday. A lovely group of new friends & supporters had gathered to offer help and energy to the cause. Some joined us walking the first few miles. Then I went ahead in the support van, scouting what was ahead. Jigme & elder Wangchuk walked all day until Wangchuk couldn’t do more.  Jigme insisted to finish another 2 miles on his own, in the growing dark, even though we asked him not to.   “For the cause”, he said, as he always did, and refused to get in the car. So we went ahead to greet the next group of supporters and wait for him.
