Canada: The World Cannot Allow Crimes to Escalate While Waiting for Evidence
Secret Concentration Camp Shocks the Canadian Government and People, Sujiatun Incident Exposed at Parliament

On April 4, 2006, the Canadian new government was sworn in. More than 150 Falun Gong practitioners started a two-day truth clarification activity on April 3 on Parliament Hill, exposing the Chinese Communist regime's (CCP) mass killing of Falun Gong practitioners in secret concentration camps. Members of Parliament, representatives of non-governmental organizations and members of the public came to support, make speeches and condemn the CCP atrocities. They urged the Canadian government and the international community to investigate the secret concentration camps.

Canadian Members of Parliament Urge the Government to Take Action

Politicians who came to support the activity on April 3 included former director of Asian-Pacific Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs David Kilgour, Members of Parliament including Bruce Stanton, Maria Mourani (her assistant read the letter on her behalf), Borys Wrzesnewskyj, Peter Julian, Larry Bagnell, and former veteran diplomat Brain MacAdams. Politicians who came on April 4 included Members of Parliament Bernard Patry and Bill Siksay, and renowned international human rights lawyer David Matas.

In addition, Canadian members of parliament Libby Davids and David McGuinty wrote letters on Friday and last Wednesday respectively to the Foreign Minister expressing great concern over the incident and urging the Foreign Minister to take action.

Maria Mourani said in her letter, "I would like to try all means to urge the Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper to request that the United Nations investigate and expose the facts."

Larry Bagnell said, "I'm looking forward to the Canadian government making a comprehensive and broad response in a transparent and completely open manner."

Bruce Stanton said, "Such an atrocity (secret concentration camp) is absolutely intolerable and must be stopped immediately."

Peter Julian said, "Today, I promise you, we will push forward the state of affairs to ensure an investigation over such a horrible and serious incident that has possibly happened."

Libby Davids said in his letter to the Foreign Minister, "I hope you agree that Canada cannot keep silent in face of such a serious report." Davids believes that it is Canada's responsibility to exert influence on the international community on condition of not violating the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the UN Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman and Degrading Treatment.

Canadian Veteran Diplomat: The World Cannot Allow Crimes to Escalate While Waiting for Evidence

On April 3, Canadian veteran diplomat and expert on the Chinese issues, Brain MacAdams said in his speech that last week, as we expected, the CCP denied the existence of the Sujiatun Concentration Camp. He said that if one searches using the Google search engine, for "China denied," we can obtain 2.1 million items of record. MacAdams gave an example that after seizing power, the CCP has denied facts including great famine that starved to death 20 to 43 million people, the system of re-education through forced labor camps, the Tiananmen Massacre, SARS, bird flu and organ harvests of death row prisoners. MacAdams said that the first group that denied the holocaust was the Nazis.

MacAdams stated that forgetting the past will make history repeat itself. "Last week, on March 27, 82 year-old Rudolph Vrba died in Vancouver. In April 1944, Vrba drew people's attention. He and Alfred Weltzler were the first Jews to escape from the Auschwitz Concentration Camp in Poland. They told the Allied Forces about the holocaust happening at Auschwitz."

MacAdams said that as the first witness, both of them wrote shocking and elaborate reports on the death camp, but many people did not believe them, and the news revealed in the reports was suppressed. As a result, from May 15 to July 7, 1944, 437 thousand more Jews were sent to concentration camps. Not until the beginning of large-scale transferring of Jews in Hungary, was their warning known at "Auschwitz Draft." Their alarm bell saved 100 thousand people's lives, and they therefore enjoyed extensive prestige.

MacAdams believes that the world cannot allow the escalation of crimes while waiting for evidence. The Canadian government must immediately request an investigation.

Falun Gong Practitioners: Persecution is a Crime Against Humanity

According to evidence provided by the World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG), in late April the China's organ transplant operations will resume. Falun Gong practitioner Li Xiaoce said at an interview, "We must remind the international community, the CCP will take even more sinister and large-scale action against Falun Gong practitioners to destroy the evidence of their crimes." Li Xiaoce said, "The severity of the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners exceeds the persecution of any race, nationality and religious group in history, it goes beyond people's psychological endurance and it targets basic human nature, and therefore the essence of the persecution is against humanity."

On April 3, Ottawa citizen Simone Boucher, who often reads the "Epoch Times," read reports about the secret concentration camp and took a special day off to come to attend the rally. She said, "The persecution is too severe to describe with words." She expressed that she would write to raise people's awareness. Four high school students from Ottawa learned about the news and drove to the rally site to support and sign the petition.

The Canadian Falun Dafa Association held a press conference on April 4 at the Canadian Parliament to provide the Canadian media with evidence from the Epoch Times and the WOIPFG.

Chairman of International Relations Committee of US Congress Hopes Falun Gong Practitioners Be Free of Any Harm

On the afternoon of April 4, 2006, chairman of the International Relations Committee of the House of Representatives and senior congressman from the Illinois Republic Party Henry Hyde accepted an interview in Rayburn House Office Building and said that the Chinese people should freely practice Falun Gong, and hoped the Falun Gong practitioners be free of any harm.

When the reporter asked congressman Hyde if he has learned about the case of harvesting living Falun Gong practitioners' organs in the Sujiatun Concentration Camp, and what he thought of it, congressman Hyde said, "One aspect of democracy is freedom of belief. I think the Chinese people in the mainland should freely practice Falun Gong and other religions, so long as the religion poses no harm to the political organs. I hope Falun Gong practitioners be free of any harm."

Chairman of the House International Relations Committee Henry Hyde accepted the media's interview after receiving the honorary award issued by Li Dawei from Taiwan Affairs Office in America.

Representative of Taiwan Affairs Office in America Li Dawei said when asked if he has learned about the news about the Sujiatun Concentration Camp, "I certainly read the news, it is very shocking and sad. I think chairman Hyde also made the same comment just now. I think basically everybody pays great attention to China's human rights and legal system, no one expects such a thing to happen. The most important is to avoid the similar things recurring."

Representative Li Dawei said, "Chairman Hyde, as the chairman of International Relations Committee, what he said certainly carries weight."

Taiwan: Legislative Committee Members Ask Public to Write Letters Urging United Nations to Investigate the Sujiatun Case

When the State Department of the United States of America asked the Chinese government to probe the Sujiatun case days ago, the human rights of Falun Gong drew people's attention again. Taiwan legislative Committee member He Min-Hao called on all people in Taiwan to write a letter to the United Nations and Amnesty International, to expose the crimes committed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

On the morning of April 1, 2006, the International Advocates for Justice, The Democratic Youth Union and The Epoch Times and other organizations, along with Falun Gong practitioners held a press conference on Citizen Square of Taichung City, Taiwan. They condemned the CCP's atrocities of removing human organs from living practitioners and cremating the bodies afterwards in the Sujiatun Concentration Camp. A march was held after the press conference. Professor Liu Cheng-Yi of Chong Shing University hosted the conference, and Legislative Committee members Cai Ming-Shian and He Min-Hao, along with Jinmen Boai Hospital director Chien Yu-Cheng delivered speeches.

Legislative Committee member He Min-Hao, Prof. Liu Cheng-Yi and director Chien Yu-Cheng call on societies to work together to stop the Chinese Communist regime's atrocities

Prof. Liu pointed out, "The International Human Right Organization exposed the CCP's Sujiatun Concentration Camp and the facts about removing organs from death-row inmates and even from living persons in China. China has become the human organ transplantation center. The news shocked people. CCP has violated human's rights of the living, and it's even more inhuman than the Nazis."

Prof. Liu said, "I felt so sorry not only because of the slaughtering of so many Falun Gong practitioners, but also at the persecution of hundreds of thousands of Chinese people related to the 80,000 human rights violation cases every year. I feel so painful for the trampled basic human morality and medical ethnics. I call on the media and the people of conscience from all circles, and all the international human rights organizations to work together to care about and rescue those innocent lives, to condemn the Chinese Communist regime, to stop the regime's persecution against Falun Gong, and to prevent the continuing crimes of inhumanity and persecution."

Legislative Committee member Cai Ming-Shian condemns the tyranny of the Chinese Communist regime and its human rights violations

Legislative Committee member Cai Ming-Shian stated that, "It is enraging to see the Chinese Communist regime's violations of human rights. We are responsible and obligated to condemn the Chinese Communist regime for human rights violations. Even thought we are in Taiwan, we should expose the atrocities of the Communist regime to the entire world. Being a member of the Legislative Committee, I respect and admire the courageous actions of the attendees for the gathering."

Legislative Committee member He Min-Hao said, "The Sujiatun incidence is the most wretched in the human world. China is the purgatory of the human world. I feel such sorrow for Chinese Communist regime's inhumanity. We are so lucky that we live in Taiwan. Meanwhile, the entire world should provide basic humanitarian care and support to those people in peril. I call on all the merchants from Taiwan to be aware of the tricks of the Chinese Communist regime. I hope that each person can write a letter to the United Nations and Amnesty International to express the wrath of the people from Taiwan."

Prof. Liu said, "Italian Primer Minister Silvio Berlusconi quoted recently that the Chinese Communist regime once cooked infants in its history. On March 31, a veteran military Doctor from an army hospital testified further about the secret concentration camp underground in Sujiatun. He pointed out that the Sujiatun Concentration Camp is only a small one out of the 36 similar camps in China, and that the largest one unlawfully imprisoning practitioners is located in Jilin Province and code-named "672-S," where over 120,000 people are imprisoned. The Communist regime legalized organ transplantation using organs from death-row inmates. It became public in 1992. Dead bodies or even living persons become valuable industrial raw materials."

Director of Jinmen Boai Hospital, Dr. Chien Yu-Cheng pointed out, "Organ transplantation is done very carefully in democratic countries. Organs have to be from donations and with the donor's or direct family member's written agreement. There has to be at least two doctors or procurator's agreement when family members are not available. In China, the whole system involves accomplices who share the profits. These illegal transplantations are both inhumane and absurd. Medical doctors become killers. It's so sorrowful! I call on people from Taiwan to be more careful, not to lose other organs when you want to have a surgery in China. It has actually happened."

On behalf of the Democratic Youth Union, a student named Hsiao from Tun Hai University said, "The Chinese Communist regime set up the secret Sujiatun Concentration Camp to harvest organs from living practitioners. It is inhuman persecution. Medical doctors become killers. The atrocities have enraged human and even divine beings. There are 9.37 million people who have renounced the CCP and its affiliates. This shows that the Chinese Communist regime has lost the people's support. I hope everyone will step forward to support the practitioners in opposing the persecution. I also call on all circles in Taiwan to pay attention to the atrocity and send strong protests to the CCP."

March after the conference reenacts the incidence of harvesting organs from living persons. Spectators are shocked.

A practitioner pointed out, "Since July 20, 1999, the Chinese Communist Party has publicly used genocide in China in persecuting Falun Gong practitioners who follow "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance." As of today, the confirmed death cases from persecution are 2850. But the CCP is good at covering and hiding persecution with lies, such as the cover up of SARS. So it is well acknowledged that this number is far smaller than reality."

A reenactment of the organ removal operation from living persons after the conference vividly depicted the tragedy. Some audience members were infuriated and said that, "The CCP is way too much and even do horrible things like these. It has done the evilest things."

Director of the Neuro-Surgery Deaprtment and Gama Ray Center of the Chongshan Medical University, Dr. Huang Chuan-Fu indicated in an interview that medical ethics [in China] has been stressed for a long period of time. For example, one should not even manipulate the data in an article, not to mention harvest an organ from one person at will and transplant to another?! Regarding the news that some doctors in Taiwan introduced patients to China to receive organ transplantation, he called on all doctors to pay attention to the news of organ removals from living persons in China and try not to save one life by killing another. They cannot escape the responsibility by using an excuse of, "I could not tell the source of the organ." Dr. Huang called on international society to keep pressure on the Chinese Communist regime to follow universal standards of human rights.

Attendees of the march hold photos of practitioners who were tortured to death

The march started after the conference and was led by a waist drum team. There was a section in the march that included attendees with white shirts and pants who held the photos of those practitioners who were tortured to death in China. Their mournful expression was eye-catching. There were many huge banners and posters, which drew people's attention to the CCP's brutality.

Pingdong, Taiwan: Representatives of Political Circle in Wandan Area Condemn Sujiatun Incident

On the morning of April 2, 2006, Falun Gong practitioners from Pingdong, Taiwan gathered at Wandan Primary School to mourn Falun Gong practitioners who have been killed by the Chinese Communist regime (CCP) in the Sujiatun Concentration Camp. Pingdong County legislative committee member Zheng Chaoming, Wandan Township representative Zheng Yuyuan and Wan'an Village head Huang Wenzhong, along with several other representatives from the local political circle came in person to support Falun Gong, and condemned the CCP's atrocities of killing and harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners in the Sujiatun Concentration Camp.

Legislative member Zheng Chaoming said that the CCP inhumanly treats Falun Gong practitioners and even uses them as tools, harvesting their organs for profiteering and cremating their bodies to destroy the evidence. Such extremely cruel deeds will definitely incur punishment from Heaven. He called upon all righteous people to take action by speaking out loudly, "The CCP tyranny will definitely collapse." He also expressed that he would join the Falun Gong practitioners' effort to resist the persecution until the CCP is destroyed by Heaven.

Zheng Chaoming also expressed high respect to Falun Gong practitioners. He said that Falun Gong practitioners' uncompromising spirits are amazing. He said that an ordinary person cannot make it at all. No wonder the CCP is afraid of Falun Gong.

He also said that Falun Gong practitioners' words and actions all abide by the heavenly principles, but they have been subjected to the CCP's persecution. This is unacceptable by democratic countries. He admired Falun Gong practitioners' efforts to clarify the truth not only in Taiwan but also their efforts to expose the CCP's atrocities around the world.

The banner reading, "SOS Urgent - Rescue Thousands of Falun Gong Practitioners Who Have Their Organs Removed and Sold by the CCP" shocked every person passing by. Many people expressed that such things cannot happen in Taiwan and signed the petition to support Falun Gong. A young mother learned about the fact and expressed that it is too horrible. Who dares to go to the mainland?! Students strolling in the streets expressed that it is too inhuman and cruel. The CCP even treats people like this, it simply takes people's lives for granted.

Li Dengke, an assistant supervisor at Chinese Telecom expressed that since he practiced Falun Gong, he has benefited greatly both physically and mentally. He condemned the CCP's barbaric atrocities and called upon fellow countrymen not to hold any illusions on the CCP. He also appreciated councilors, township heads, and village heads of the Pingdong area who stand up to support human rights.

Falun Gong practitioner Li Jufen said that practitioners mourned Falun Gong practitioners who have been killed by the CCP at Wandan Primary School on the morning of April 2, and in the afternoon clarified the truth and collected signatures at Xinguang Branch Bank site. They played a truth clarification film in the evening at the Siwei Primary School East Entrance. The activities were well arranged. Practitioners had only one wish: that everyone could join our efforts to disintegrate the CCP and end the persecution.

New York: Falun Gong Practitioners Rally in Front of Chinese Consulate to Condemn the CCP's Barbarous Atrocities at Sujiatun

At dusk on Tuesday, April 4, 2006, nearly 100 Falun Gong practitioners from the metropolitan New York City area held a rally in front of the Chinese Consulate in Manhattan to condemn the Chinese Communist regime's (CCP) outrageous atrocities of mass killing of Falun Gong practitioners in the Sujiatun Concentration Camp.

Banners in English read, "6,000 Falun Gong Practitioners Detained at Sujiatun, 2/3 Killed, Organs Extracted and Sold for

," and "CCP Tortures and Murders Falun Gong Practitioners." Banners in Chinese read, "Protesting the CCP's 'Sujiatun Secret Concentration Camp,'" "Protesting the CCP's brutal killing of Falun Gong practitioners," and "Protesting the CCP's Inhuman Atrocities of Harvesting Living Persons' Organs for Profiteering." On both sides of Chinese banners were two huge banners in English reading, "Falun Gong: Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance," and "Falun Gong: Based on Traditional Chinese Culture and Virtues." Over a dozen display boards depicted the CCP's brutal killing of Chinese people during the past few dozen years, especially the atrocities of mass killing at Sujiatun.

Falun Gong practitioner Mu Xiangjie, who recently came to America as a UN refugee said, "The brutality of Sujiatun Concentration Camp is unacceptable but within our expectation. I was sentenced to forced labor twice in China, and the police have never treated Falun Gong practitioners as humans. Once detained, practitioners were subjected to beatings. Brutally tortured practitioners were everywhere in the corridors of the forced labor camp. Steadfast practitioners were often tortured for several consecutive days at a time. Practitioners were frozen outdoors on cold snowy days, and burned in scortching sun. Three forced labor camps in Tianjin were expanded with perfect facilities. A 48-year-old woman Falun Gong practitioner refused to give her name as her resistance to the persecution, so the lawless guards placed a wooden board on her stomach and several strong guards walked on the board. After the torture, the practitioner was carried into her cell, bleeding profusely. One month later, her stomach was still black."

Mu Xiangjie also mentioned that in 2000, when she was arrested for appealing on behalf of Falun Gong in Beijing, at the beginning she refused to give her name. The police threatened her that if she did not give her name, she would be sent to a place where nobody knows, such as Xinjiang Autonomous Region. At the time, she thought the police were only intimidating her. Now she knows it was true.

In China's forced labor camps, steadfast Falun Gong practitioners like Mu Xiangjie are being monitored around the clock by other detainees. Practitioners are not allowed to have any contact with each other. Even a smile in the distance, if noticed, would incur savage beatings. A practitioner in the same cell with Mu Xiangjie was called out in the morning, but only her shoes were sent back in the evening, the practitioner herself did not come back, and was never seen again.

Falun Gong practitioner Li Weixun, who came to America as a UN refugee last year, expressed that she was once detained in a place named Sujiatun. She remembered once the head of the cell said there came a lot of Falun Gong practitioners, and later they were all transferred to other places. At the beginning of the persecution, when practitioners were rounded up, it was often the case that one practitioner came out in the morning but did not know if he/she could come back in the evening. Those practitioners' whereabouts were therefore unknown. In the CCP's brutal persecution, practitioners have no place to reason and appeal, and practitioners' relatives endure the pain themselves and dare not let others know of their loved ones' disappearances.

Practitioner He Bing said that her two friends in mainland China were a married couple Falun Gong practitioners. The wife was tortured to death, the husband was missing and their child who was in junior middle school became an orphan.

Falun Gong practitioner Scott expressed that the revelation of the CCP's atrocities at Sujiatun further revealed the CCP's true nature. The inhuman persecution of kind practitioners has shocked every person who has a conscience. We call upon the governments, human rights organizations and the general public to pay attention to the Sujiatun tragedy, and condemn the CCP's barbarity and stop the most evil persecution in human history.

Australia: Wen Jiabao Visits Australia, Falun Gong Practitioners Call for An Investigation of Sujiatun - Media Pays Attention

When Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao visited Australia, Falun Gong practitioners held a press conference on the afternoon of April 3, 2006 in front of the Australian Parliament House. They called for an end to the persecution of Falun Gong and demanded to bring Jiang Zemin, Luo Gan, Liu Jing and Zhou Yongkang to justice and immediately investigate the Sujiatun and other concentration camps where Falun Gong practitioners have their organs harvested and sold, and their murdered bodies cremated to destroy the evidence. At the same time, the practitioners announced to the media that Falun Gong practitioner Pan Yu has filed a lawsuit against the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) Commerce Minister Bo Xilai, who accompanied Wen Jiabao to visit Australia. The lawsuit was filed with the supreme court, and the subpoena was successfully delivered to the defendant.

Over a dozen Australian media outlets attend the press conference

During Wen Jiabao's visit, the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong and Falun Gong practitioners' peaceful appeal once again attracted the attention of the major media and people of Australia. Over a dozen major media attended the press conference, including the ABC TV station, SBS TV station, NTD TV, AAP, Reuters, Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, Fairfax, the ABC Broadcasting Station and 2GB Broadcasting Station. Falun Gong practitioner Pan Yu and representatives of Falun Dafa Associations from three provinces, the representative of the World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong, former Chinese consulate officer Chen Yonglin, who has publicly announced his withdrawal from the CCP, law professor Yuan Hongbing, and a representative of the Refugees Action Coalition made speeches at the press conference. An anti-torture exhibition and truth clarification photographs displayed brutal torture methods employed in persecuting Falun Gong practitioners. Tourists were shocked at the brutality and stopped to learn more about Falun Gong.

Bo Xilai, Who Accompanied Wen Jiabao to Visit Australia is Sued by Falun Gong Practitioners

It is reported that since July 20, 1999, Bo Xilai has been actively involved in the persecution of Falun Gong during his term as deputy secretary of Liaoning Provincial Party Committee and governor of Liaoning Province. As a result, Liaoning Province becomes one of the provinces where the persecution of Falun Gong is the most severe, and as of 2003, there were at least 90 Falun Gong practitioners who were verified to have died as a result of the persecution.

Falun Gong practitioner Pan Yu speaks at the press conference

Born in Liaoning Province, Pan Yu once suffered inhuman torture in China for refusing to give up practicing Falun Gong. He was illegally arrested and detained by the police on December 31, 1999. On February 1, 2000, without going through any legal procedure, he was forcibly sent to Danan Custody Center in Shenyang City, where he suffered rigorous tortures. On March 17, 2000, he was sent to a study class at Longshan Forced Labor Camp to receive intensive "reformation" [attempts to force him to renounce Falun Gong]. To meet with the so-called "reformation rate" set by superiors, guards at the forced labor camp beat and kick Falun Gong practitioners for a long periods of time. 40,000-volt electric baton shocks cause practitioners to lose bowel control and become mentally traumatized. He experienced unimaginable excruciating torture.

Pan Yu has filed a lawsuit against Bo Xilai for torture and successfully delivered the subpoena to him several days ago. Pan Yu strongly requested the Australian court, according to international law and Australian law, to bring to justice Bo Xilai, a perpetrator who has committed crimes of torture and anti-humanity. This is yet another lawsuit against Bo that was served when he visited abroad, and follows the lawsuits in seven other countries including the USA, the UK, Ireland and Russia.

Exposing Atrocities in the Sujiatun Concentration Camp

A representative of the World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong read the second investigative report on mass killing in the Sujiatun Concentration Camp. The report confirmed that "Shenyang City's Sujiatun Chinese Medicine Hospital of Liaoning Province: Thrombosis Hospital of Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine, (for short: Thrombosis Hospital) illegally contains a crematorium, which is suspected of cremating the bodies to destroy the evidence. There is an unusually large group of living organ providers in Shenyang Area. The Sujiatun-style concentration camp is not the only case. In many areas in China, there have been discovered a large number of cases of harvesting living Falun Gong practitioners' organs for transplant."

Former surgeon Yuan Hong who has been living in Sydney for many years once worked at the 1st Hospital affiliated with the Chinese Medical University in Shenyang. He confirmed that the hospital started kidney transplant operations in the early 90s, and that the source of kidneys were from death-roll prisoners. He was aware that organs harvested from death-penalty criminals for organ transplants included hearts, lungs, kidneys, livers and other organs. The on-site organ transplant operations were approved by the authorities in advance, and were performed in cooperation with prisons and police. People in China do not think that such acts are illegal and a violation of human rights.

Representatives of the Refugee Action Coalition speak at the press conference

Representative of the Refugee Action Coalition asked that continued attention be focused on the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong, especially the horrible incidents like Sujiatun. She called upon Australian members of parliament and the Australian government to investigate, and hoped that the media would speak out. She criticized the Australian government for not attaching enough importance to human rights.

During Wen Jiabao's Visit to Australia, Falun Gong Practitioners Hold a Series of Peaceful Protests

During Wen Jiabao's visit to Australia, Falun Gong practitioners held a series of peaceful protests. On April 1, when Wen Jiabao and his entourage arrived at the first stop--Perth, and on the evening of April 2, when Wen Jiabao and others arrived at the military airport in Canberra, as well as on several roads where Wen Jiabao's motorcade passed by in Canberra, Falun Gong practitioners held many banners, and held a candlelight vigil in front of the Chinese Embassy in Canberra to mourn the Falun Gong practitioners who have died as a result of the CCP's persecution.

Nuremberg, Germany: Falun Gong Practitioners Expose the Chinese Communist Party's Atrocities

"It is no longer acts of humans to use human body parts like this," a Belgium tourist said to a reporter. This was also the reason why they signed their names to help stop the inhumane acts, which was the wish of most of the passersby.

On March 18, 2006, Falun Gong practitioners gathered in front of St. Lawrence Church in Nuremberg in southern Germany to protest against the barbaric acts of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) setting up a concentration camp to massacre Falun Gong practitioners and sell their organs for profit. Banners with Chinese and German wordings declared the chilling news to the world. Falun Gong practitioner Zhang Yuan went on a 24 hour hunger strike to protest.

The CCP Crimes Remind Many of the Nazis

According to a report by the international newspaper The Epoch Times on March 17, evidence emerged on the trading of organs harvested from Falun Gong practitioners at Sujiatun Concentration Camp in Shenyang, China. A former employee of the concentration camp told The Epoch Times during a recent interview that the concentration camp was actually a part of Liaoning Provincial Thrombosis Hospital of Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine. Since 2001, the concentration camp has secretly detained approximately 6,000 Falun Gong practitioners, none of whom have left the camp alive. Horrendously the hospital removed many kidneys, livers, and corneas from the practitioners. After the organ removals, the practitioners were thrown into an incinerator, which was converted from a boiler. Their ashes were dumped together with burned charcoal.

Nuremberg was once the Nazi's headquarters. At the end of World War II, Nazi war criminals were tried in Nuremberg. This scene remains fresh in older Germans' memories. The CCP's crimes naturally reminded many of the Nazi's concentration camps and crematoriums. Outraged by the CCP's atrocities, some people thought the CCP was more despicable than the Nazis.

Such Crimes Must be Severely Punished

There were numerous reactions from the Nuremberg public on the despicable acts of the CCP. Two women who signed the petition remembered that concentration camps were once in Germany and stated that such history should not be repeated. Some high school students expressed their hopes that the concentration camp would collapse. A Mr. Chen from Taiwan said, "Such immoral acts should not be allowed to continue. One should not kill fellow countrymen. Even though I am from Taiwan and live in Germany, I still feel these things are inhumane."

A lady from mainland China thought it was the undeniable truth that the CCP slaughters innocent citizens. During the political campaign against landowners, the CCP insisted that they kept so called "restoration records." Many innocent people were killed or committed suicide. Many more people jumped off buildings to commit suicide during the Cultural Revolution. The CCP is equally brutal as far as Falun Gong is concerned. In the end she decided to withdraw from any affiliation with the CCP along with her daughter.

An older gentleman paced up and down for a long time in front of the stand. He told a reporter that the CCP's concentration camps are worse than the Nazi's. He said that such experiments, massacres and the selling of human organs must be stopped. He is against such killings. Humans should enjoy freedom of speech and human rights.

A shop-owner named Christopher said, "It's unbelievable that such incidents could happen in today's China. China's economy is opening up to the world. Perhaps the next few years will see great progress. Meanwhile it is disappointing that these kinds of things are happening. I hope more and more Chinese can pay attention to this disaster so as to initiate a movement to bring such acts to an end. It's unimaginable that this is allowed when China is going international."

Anna Marlin Monk, a lady in her seventies, signed a petition to help stop the CCP's savage acts. She commented that many Germans are willing to help bring more freedom to the Chinese people, be it political or religious. Many countries in Europe believe in God. But more importantly, people should be respected regardless of religious beliefs. Humans should enjoy freedom and dignity. She continued, "My parents used to work in anti-Nazi organizations. I helped a lot when I was little. It was terrifying what happened during the Nazi's era. Six million Jews were locked up in concentration camps for planned massacre. It will be recorded for the next one thousand years as a disaster in human history. This kind of crime must be severely punished."

France: Falun Gong Practitioners Expose the Atrocities at the Sujiatun Concentration Camp in Downtown Paris

The righteous call for justice from Parisian residents

People sign the petition against the persecution in China

The Chinese Communist regime has established a concentration camp in Sujiatun district, Shenyang City, where at least 6,000 Falun Gong practitioners were illegally detained. In addition to cruel persecution and killing, their organs were removed for sale to make huge profits and their bodies were cremated to destroy the evidence. With the exposure of these atrocities, people were extremely shocked and have strongly protested against them.

On March 21 and 22, French Falun Gong practitioners exposed the Chinese Communist regime's atrocities at Paris City Hall, L'Hotel de Ville and Alma Marceau in the vicinity of the Chinese Consulate in the Sixteenth District of Paris, by means of displaying photos, collecting petition signatures and distributing leaflets. They intended to expose the atrocities the Chinese Communist regime has committed to the mainstream society and the general public. They also called on the French Government and its people to help put an end to the persecution and killing, and urgently rescue the Falun Gong practitioners who are being persecuted in Sujiatun Concentration Camp.

Passersby stopped to listen attentively to the practitioners' explanations of the facts about the persecution, as well as their urgent call for help. They also viewed the photos and the captions on display boards. After hearing about various cruel torture methods used to persecute Falun Gong practitioners and the on-going atrocities taking place in the Sujiatun Concentration Camp in Shenyang, people expressed their support for justice and their indignation.

Despite the cold weather and the fact that it kept raining in the vicinity of the Chinese Embassy during the two days when they exposed the regime's evil crimes, Falun Gong practitioners persisted in explaining the facts to people in the rain and urged those who have a sense of justice to help rescue the persecuted Falun Gong practitioners.

When passing by the Paris City Hall on his bicycle, a young man from Italy viewed some of the Falun Gong practitioners' poster display boards. He then talked to a Falun Gong practitioner, saying "The approach employed by the Chinese Communist regime to destroy the evidence by cremating people in the Sujiatun Concentration Camp is really horrible. We must expose the Chinese regime's secrets to all people. If we don't reveal such secrets to the outside world, people will never know what's going on in autocratic countries like China. Through this activity, we can let more governments and people around the world know about these horrendous atrocities, and the persecution initiated by the Chinese regime must be stopped."

He added, "They have talked to me a lot just now. I have come to know that Falun Gong is a very good cultivation practice, and it can help people become kindhearted and compassionate. I plan to practice Falun Gong as well."

A Brazilian woman studying in France who majored in human rights-related subjects, took the initiative to sign the petition against the persecution and asked for more information after she viewed the materials about the on-going atrocities in the Sujiatun Concentration Camp. She said, "It is regrettable that China's human rights situation has not improved in recent years, and on the contrary, it is getting worse and worse. It is really unacceptable for me to see that atrocities similar to those happening in Nazi concentration camps exist in China today."

A manager of a French company saw the poster display boards when passing by the entrance to the Alma Marceau Subway Station. He wrinkled his brow and swayed his head while mumbling: "Incredible! Too terrible!"

He told our reporter that France and other places had suffered atrocities under the Nazis in the twentieth century. It was extremely terrible. At present, the real situation in China is that it frequently persecutes and kills its people, which is a sharp contrast to what the Chinese Communist regime has alleged to the outside world. As to the Chinese regime's secret establishment of the Sujiatun Concentration Camp to persecute Falun Gong practitioners, he said, "It is incredible that such a violent atrocity of harvesting human organs in a concentration camp is taking place in China. I was extremely shocked to learn about the violent persecution. It appeared that China was marching towards civilization, but judging from these cruel incidents, it is in fact a barbaric country. For westerners, in particular the French, the atrocities occurring during the Second World War in the twentieth century no longer exist, but they do exist in the concentration camps in China. I think your news should be spread to the entire world, so as to let all the people know the facts about the Chinese Communist regime's cruel atrocities. Let's cooperate together to put an end to this concentration camp."

He thinks that today China, western companies must be very careful when dealing with China. He said, "Take Google for instance. It cooperates with the Government of China on censorship issues. People in China are unable to surf on the Internet freely. So we must be very careful and not cooperate with the Chinese Communist regime."

Exposing the atrocities about the Sujiatun concentration camp in Villier

On March 23, 2006, Falun Gong practitioners gathered at Villier, an area where many law firms are situated, to expose the atrocities in the concentration camps in China to the general public by means of displaying photos, collecting petition signatures and distributing leaflets.

An Algerian who is a student at a French university and also a Falun Gong practitioner said, "I cannot accept this kind of cruel killing. The persecuted Falun Gong practitioners are noble, sincere and kind-hearted people. I'm here to help rescue the Falun Gong practitioners who are being detained in the Sujiatun Concentration Camp."

After viewing the photos of the Falun Gong practitioners who are being cruelly persecuted, an American student said, "We should not keep silent in the face of the evil atrocities. Each of us needs to bravely step forward to expose the crimes." She added, "I'm very concerned about what is going on in the world, because I think they will have much to do with us. That's why I was very shocked to find out about the Sujiatun Concentration Camp."

An assistant to the Mayor of the Sixteenth District of Paris, who is responsible for the Green Party's legal affairs, passed by the display boards exposing the atrocities in the Sujiatun Concentration Camp when he went to do some exercises in the morning. He said, "You should let more French people and those in other western countries understand the facts about the concentration camp. The concentration camp in Sujiatun is similar to the Gulag concentration camps established by the former Soviet Union. We know that the forced labor camps in China are actually the Gulag concentration camps, and they should not exist any longer."

He added, "I'm a representative of the Green Party, and I'm very concerned about democracy in China. Your exposing the persecution by means of peaceful approaches is of much help to the development and promotion of democracy in China. Especially for a country without democracy due to autocratic rule, peaceful protests are much more needed."

Tourists in Paris: CCP is too brutal and sinister

On March 26, Falun Gong practitioners came to the Eiffel Tower to expose the CCP's atrocities to tourists from around the world and Parisian residents. They broadcasted the facts, displayed photos, collected signatures and distributed truth clarification materials on Paris' Human Rights Square that symbolizes democracy, freedom and human rights. They called upon all kind-hearted people in the world to form a righteous force to work together to stop the CCP's mass killing and urgently rescue Falun Gong practitioners who are suffering persecution in the Sujiatun Concentration Camp.

People who have learned about the persecution at Sujiatun and the urgent call for help said, "It's too cruel, the CCP is too sinister, only demons can do such things." They signed the petition to express their support and to urgently rescue Falun Gong practitioners who have been locked up at the concentration camp.

Many tourists from mainland China who saw Falun Gong practitioners freely practice the exercises in France felt very surprised. They silently looked and stopped in front of the photos exposing the CCP's secret concentration camp at Sujiatun. We could tell they were shocked from their surprised expressions.

Australia: Practitioners Invited to Attend Human Rights Hearing Exposing CCP Atrocities

Ms. Rebecca condemns the CCP's outrageous crimes committed against Falun Gong | Falun Gong practitioners hold a press conference in front of the Congress

On March 30, 2006, three representatives from Falun Dafa Associations in Sydney, Queensland and Victoria were invited to attend a hearing of the Australian Congress Human Rights Committee. They discussed the Chinese Communist regime's (CCP) ongoing persecution of Falun Gong and harassment of overseas Falun Gong practitioners.

At the hearing, representatives of Falun Gong specifically introduced to the human rights committee the recent revelation of inhuman atrocities taking place in the Sujiatun Concentration Camp in Shenyang City. Most members of the human rights committee have learned about the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong, but they were deeply shocked upon learning the atrocities of harvesting live Falun Gong practitioners' organs and cremating their murdered bodies to destroy the evidence. They therefore gained further understanding of the severity and cruelty of the persecution. The representatives of practitioners also introduced lawyer Gao Zhisheng who has suffered retaliation from the CCP for writing to the Chinese leaders calling for an end to the persecution of Falun Gong. The practitioners also exposed the Chinese Embassies and Consulates, who mailed and spread materials slandering Falun Gong and inciting hatred against Falun Gong to Australian Chinese associations, federal members of parliament, provincial councilors and city councilors.

The representative of Falun Gong practitioners also took the opportunity to introduce The Epoch Times' series of commentaries--The Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, to expose the CCP's wicked nature and point out that the CCP does not represent China. The practitioners requested that the human rights committee convey their message to the Congress and government, and hoped that the Australian government would not ignore the value of human rights during its commercial trade. They also called upon the Australian government to voice stronger concerns amidst the global condemnation of the CCP regime's persecution of Falun Gong and help end this human catastrophe as soon as possible.

Members of the human rights committee were very grateful to Falun Gong practitioners for providing information and materials to them and hoped to have more opportunities to meet with practitioners. The hostess said that they have been paying special attention to the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners happening in china, and the Australian government and related departments have been taking all possible opportunities to express their concerns to the Chinese government. She said in the end that though the Australian government has an annual human rights dialogue with China, we need more exposure of those acts against human rights.

The same day of the hearing, Australian Falun Gong practitioners held a press conference in front of the Congress condemning the barbaric atrocities committed at the Sujiatun Concentration Camp, and calling upon Australian Prime Minister John Howard to request that Wen Jiabao, during their meeting, conduct an immediate investigation of the Sujiatun Incident, and immediately stop the persecution and killing of Falun Gong practitioners.

Ms. Rebecca, hostess of the press conference, severely condemned the CCP's outrageous atrocities against Falun Gong, and pointed out that the CCP's Commerce Minister Bo Xilai, who was accompanying Wen Jiabao to visit Australia, once worked as deputy secretary and governor of Liaoning Province. He should take direct responsibility for the crimes committed in the Sujiatun Concentration Camp.

Rebecca also displayed to the reporters more than 5,000 signatures they have collected in the past two weeks. She said that this expressed the Australian people's support for Falun Gong and that she hoped these signatures attracted attention from the Australian government.

Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Pan Yu, who was once persecuted in Shenyang City, and Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Chen Hong, who was illegally detained several times by the CCP, made speeches at the press conference. Chen Hong also read her 72-hour hunger strike statement protesting against the atrocities committed in the Sujiatun Concentration Camp.

Malaysia: Three Signature Drives in Two Days

On the weekend of April 1-2, 2006, Malaysian Falun Gong practitioners had three signature drives in Klang and Kuala Lumpur Cities condemning the Chinese Communist Party's secret Sujiatun Concentration Camp. People signed petitions, one by one, supporting efforts to end the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) atrocity.

Signature drive at Bukit Bintang District

Falun Gong practitioners from Klang City first went to the night market at the center of the city to distribute flyers clarifying the truth of the Sujiatun Concentration Camp and collect signatures on the petition to the World Health Organization (WHO) and International Olympic Committee (IOC), calling for immediate attention to the Chinese Communist Party's harvesting Falun Gong practitioners' organs.

On the following morning, they went to People Park in Klang City to pass out flyers and collect signatures.

When the people doing morning exercises heard about the truth that Chinese Falun Gong practitioners were being inhumanly murdered by the CCP, and the persecution is still going on today, they signed their names one by one. One mother signed her name and then encouraged her children to sign theirs. One girl signed her name and then asked her mother to sign to help the rescue effort. The park staff also signed to support the effort.
