San Francisco: Rally Calling for Investigation of Atrocities in Sujiatun Concentration Camp

(Minghui correspondent Wang Ying reports) A secret concentration camp was set up in Sujiatun, Shenyang and 6000 Falun Gong practitioners have been imprisoned there. The atrocities of harvesting body organs from living practitioners for sale were disclosed recently. On the noon of April 1, 2006, practitioners in San Francisco held a rally on Union Square to call for world governments to pay attention to the severity and brutality of the persecution and help to stop the killing.

A practitioner gave the first speech at the rally and introduced the worldwide spread of Falun Gong and the persecution of Falun Gong in China. He said that Jiang Zemin initiated the persecution against Falun Gong in 1999 with the mandate, "Ruin their reputations, bankrupt them financially, and destroy them physically."

He said, "We now find that CCP is really killing practitioners. The persecution has last for seven years. CCP police torture practitioners with various means with an attempt to force them to renounce their belief."

He pointed out that an insider disclosed that Falun Gong practitioners are secretly imprisoned in Sujiatun Concentration Camp and several thousand were killed. Their body organs were harvested for profit and their remains were cremated in a crematorium on spot. It is the cruelest atrocity we heard so far.

He further said that recently a military doctor in Shenyang Military Zone confirmed that there were 36 similar concentration camps in China. He called every audience to help to stop the brutal persecution.

Let's understand what is happening in China

A local resident named Adam gave a speech. Adam said that practicing Falun Gong brings people peace, energy and healthy body. It is inconceivable for him that persecution against Falun Gong in such a large scale occurred in any country. He said that the CCP's brutal persecution against Falun Gong is inconceivable to many westerners. The persecution in China is covered up. Many western mainstream media do not report the persecution. So we hold various appeals to have more people know what is happening in China.

Doctors in Sujiatun Concentration Camp are shame to medical circle

Doctor Alejandro Centurion said that he was not involved in organ transplantation. He condemned the atrocities in Sujiatun and other concentration camps. He said it was inconceivable that body organs were removed from living persons. More than 3000 practitioners are killed for organs and their remains are cremated. Anyone familiar with CCP's human rights records knows CCP can commit such barbarity.

Attorney Alejandro Cowes said that actually illegal organ harvesting existed in China for many years. In 1990s, CCP's harvesting organs from death-row prisoners were widely condemned by international organizations and governments. The CCP continues the brutality today, however. The extent of the persecution with Sujiatun and 36 other concentration camps is unimaginable.

Attorney Alejandro Cowes said Sujiatun Concentration Camp incident got intense attention from him and medical doctors. Doctors and nurses actively participating in the anti-human crime in China are because of CCP's persecution of Falun Gong.

He expressed his hope that Chinese doctors can awaken and refuse to participate in the persecution. Those involved in the atrocities in Sujiatun are a shame to the medical profession and will be brought to justice.

Paris, France: Practitioners Gather at the Chinese Embassy to Protest CCP Secret Concentration Camp

French Falun Gong practitioners gather outside the Chinese embassy to expose and protest the CCP secret concentration camp at Sujiatun

At 3:00 p.m. on March 15, 2006, practitioners gathered in front of the Chinese Embassy in Paris to protest the secret concentration camp, which is involved in torturing and killing Falun Gong practitioners, harvesting Falun Gong practitioners' internal organs for profit, and cremating the remains of the bodies to destroy the evidence of the crime. The protestors called on the international community to pay attention to this matter, investigate the incident and help stop the CCP atrocities.

A speech by Dominique, a spokesperson of the French Falun Gong Association

Dominique, the spokesperson for the French Falun Gong Association said at an interview, "Today we make a peaceful demonstration here to expose and protest the CCP's crime of genocide against Falun Gong practitioners in a secret concentration camp. The CCP set up a secret concentration camp to imprison Falun Gong practitioners, which is a Nazi-type concentration camps established during World War II. We strongly protest these atrocities and demand that the CCP immediately stop the persecution of Falun Gong. The CCP sets up a concentration camp to torture and kill Falun Gong practitioners and to harvest organs from live practitioners. This can never be tolerated."

She also said that people all over the world have to be informed of the existence of the concentration camp. "We bring this information to the French government, the media and NGOs in the hope that the just force will bring an end to the evil CCP's atrocities. We firmly believe that the criminals will be brought to justice. They can never escape from the judgment to come."

Remi, a Falun Gong practitioner and a Jewish descendant being interviewed by the media

After being informed of the CCP's atrocities in Sujiatun concentration camp, Remi, a Falun Gong practitioner and also a Jewish descendant, said, "I feel deeply shocked. The CCP added one more atrocity to its history of terror. Comparing with the notoriously well-known gulag and corrective labor camps established by the Communist regime in the Soviet Union, the CCP's evildoing of torturing, removing and selling organs from Falun Gong practitioners appears much more unbearable."

Remi was terrified by the CCP's establishment of a concentration camp and said, "During the World War II, the Nazis established secret concentration camps to exterminate the Jewish people. After World War II, United the Nations passed a resolution prohibiting such a brutality from happening again. But, today this unspeakable cruelty is still happening in China. I hope the international community can bring an immediate end to the brutal violence."

With solemnity Falun Gong practitioners read a statement:

"In the past century, some common proper nouns eventually go beyond their original connotations, not mere nouns any more. They become the haunting nightmare of humans as well as the everlasting humiliation in the history of human civilization. The Nazis made Auschwitz not merely a name of a Polish city; the system of forced labor camps established by the Communist regime in the Soviet Union made gulag not only a Russian name. People in the future will also forever remember the name Sujiatun. The CCP's unspeakable cruelty against Falun Gong practitioners makes it not merely an area in Shenyang city. These names will have been connected with the darkest crimes in the history of humanity."

Mamdouh, a Falun Gong practitioner, makes a speech to protest against the CCP's atrocities

Mamdouh, a Falun Gong practitioner, made a speech in protest against the CCP's atrocities. He told a reporter, "I was told that in China there is a secret concentration camp to imprison and exterminate Falun Gong practitioners. I consider it a very serious crime. As a result, today I come here to inform more people of this matter."

Falun Gong practitioner Ms Ying Chen makes a speech to expose the CCP's brutality using her personal experiences

Ms Ying Chen, a Falun Gong practitioner, had been illegally imprisoned for fourteen months in a forced labor camp only because she insisted on practicing Falun Gong and her belief in "Truthfulness Compassion Forbearance". She witnessed the CCP's crime of brutal persecution of Falun Gong through her personal experience of suffering. She said in her speech that, "I have experienced enormous suffering both in spirit and body, and the CCP's inhuman brainwashing. For those Falun Gong practitioners who do not yield to the CCP's violence in detention centers and labor camps, the CCP uses all the brutal means of concentration camp alike to torture them. During the period of being illegal imprisoned from the end of 2000 to the beginning of 2001, I had met with Falun Gong practitioners from different places across the whole country, they came to Beijing only for saying a fair word for Falun Gong. Especially those Falun Gong practitioners from outside Beijing and unwilling to reveal their names had been severely tortured during their detention periods. The CCP was very scared of Falun Gong practitioners coming to Beijing continuously from all of the country. In order to reduce the pressure in Beijing, the CCP police often transferred Falun Gong practitioners to elsewhere at night using trucks. At that time I had heard the CCP wicked police saying that, we will send you all to a concentration camp and to be secluded from the world, that place is built to imprison Falun Gong only, if you still insist on practicing Falun Gong in there, you would never get out of there."

A taxi driver was passing by, after viewing our banners and listening to practitioners' appeal, he parked his car on the roadside and said, "It's too cruel, this violates humanity and it shouldn't be happening in modern times. I am completely shocked; I could not imagine how this could be happening in China. " He said he will meet with many passengers everyday and he will let more people know about the CCP's brutal atrocities.

Madeleine Bertaud, a professor at a university learns about the facts from a practitioner

Madeleine Bertaud, a professor at a university, learned about this atrocity when she was passing by, she asked practitioners how she could help. At the interview by reporter, Madeleine said, "It makes us extremely indignant. It is not acceptable if western societies still keep silence towards this kind of ignominious conduct. Our government should make the maximum effort to exert influence on the Chinese government. "

She also mentioned that, "I always think that there are two most horrific phenomena in the 20th and 21st century, one is Nazism, and another is the Communist Party system. All their conducts make people indignant, what is happening in China is the same horrible events as what had happened in the former Soviet Union. "

Falun Gong practitioners held banners and protested against the CCP's ruthless conduct. At the end of the activity, practitioners read slogans together loudly towards the Chinese Embassy: "Protesting against the CCP setting up secret concentration camps", "Protesting against the CCP killing and harvesting Falun Gong practitioners' organs", "Protesting against the CCP's violence of cremating bodies to destroy evidence of their crimes", "Support the nine million withdrawals from the CCP."

Chinese Doctor Calls for a Stop to Recommending Patients to Go to China for Organ Transplants

On the afternoon of March 27, 2006, a big rally was solemnly and sadly held in Lafayette Park in front of the White House, capital of the USA. The rally protested the Chinese Communist regime for having built a concentration camp in Sujiatun, Shenyang City where more than 6,000 Falun Gong practitioners have been locked up, killed and have their bodily organs harvested and sold for profit, and their murdered bodies were cremated to destroy the evidence. The rally also called upon American President Bush, the international community and the media conduct an immediate investigation, stop the killing, and urgently rescue Falun Gong practitioners in China who are subjected to genocidal persecution.

Among speakers at the rally was spokesperson for the Chinese Overseas Doctors' Human Rights Association Dr. Wang Wenyi. The key point of her speech was to call upon overseas doctors and international medical circles to stop recommending their patients to go to China for organ transplants.

It's urgent to let all doctors and patients know this genocidal crime happening in China and stop them from unconsciously assisting the evil doers doing evil deeds.

Doctor Wang said in her speech,

"According to the latest release from the Ministry of Justice, there are at least seven prisons that can hold thousands of prisoners in Shenyang Area, they are No.1-No.5 Prison in Shenyang, Liaoning Provincial Women's Prison and Kangjiashan Prison ten km away from Sujiatun."

"There is another fact that you may not know, according to the Department of Public Health at the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, the largest organ transplant center in China, the center providing organ transplants to the international organizations, is located in Shenyang."

"On the Internet, they guarantee to provide bodily organs you needed in two weeks, the organs include kidneys, livers, hearts and other organs."

"In the past seven years, Liaoning Province is one of the provinces where there is the highest death toll of Falun Gong practitioners."

Doctor Wang said, "According to the Amnesty International and Falun Gong practitioners' websites, we know that most of Falun Gong practitioners, when being arrested, refused to give their names and addresses. When being detained and tortured to death, the police authorities regarded their bodies as unclaimed."

Doctor Wang expressed that the Overseas Chinese Doctors' Human Rights Association condemned and extremely shocked at the CCP's atrocities of mass killing innocent Chinese people. She called upon the international community, International Red Cross, and Doctors Without Borders to go to China to investigate this genocidal crime.

Doctor Wang said, "Overseas Chinese Doctors' Human Rights Association, invited righteous group and individual investigating organizations, and medical circles from different countries, based on humanism, safeguarding basic human rights, and conscience and sympathy, join us to assist searching for and collecting evidence to expose and stop the CCP dictatorship's monstrous crimes. We also call upon overseas doctors and international medical circles to stop recommending their patients to go to China for organ transplants."

As a Chinese doctor, she called upon governments and people of all countries to not sit by and watch the CCP's ruthless persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. Its anti-humanity atrocities are intolerable and unpardonable by the heavenly law!

Taidong, Taiwan: Falun Gong Practitioners and Their Family Members Relay Hunger Strike to Protest CCP Atrocities

It has been 15 days since Falun Gong practitioners from Taidong, Taiwan held a relay hunger strike to protest the Chinese Communist regime's outrageous atrocities. The practitioners mourned fellow practitioners who have been killed at Sujiatun and continued expressing their protest and condemnation on CCP's sinister atrocities. This activity was put into action after practitioners in Taidong held a rally condemning CCP's atrocities at Sujiatun on March 19, 2006.

It is reported that participants of this relay hunger strike included not only Falun Gong practitioners but also their family members. Mdm Ou's son and daughter-in-law are non-practitioners, but they wanted to accompany their mother for one-day hunger strike. They said, "Our mother has benefited both physically and mentally after practicing Falun Gong. The CCP's persecution is against heavenly law and humanity. We should certainly condemn it."

Falun Gong practitioners relay hunger strike to protest CCP's barbarous atrocities | Condemn the CCP's intolerable and unpardonable crimes of persecuting innocent people

Falun Gong practitioners expressed that not until the tenth day of the relay hunger strike, on March 28, did the CCP's Ministry of Foreign Affairs break its three-week silence, denied the atrocities at Sujiatun and invited the media to interview. However, on the 3rd day after the CCP's denial, a new witness, a veteran military doctor from Shenyang City revealed that genocidal concentration camp like Sujiatun not only exists, there are also more than one. Sujiatun underground concentration camp is one of the 36 similar concentration camps across China.

In addition, according to the investigation of the World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG), crimes of harvesting Falun Gong practitioners' bodily organs have occurred and are taking place in many cities in China. According to witness, the Central Committee of the CCP treats Falun Gong practitioners as "class enemies," that can be handled by any means to meet the need of economic development. The local authorities do not have to report to the leadership, that is to say, Falun Gong practitioners, like many felons in China, are no longer treated as humans but raw materials for sale.

Falun Gong practitioners said in grief that all testimonies further prove that the CCP has been implementing the policy of "genocide" against Falun Gong practitioners, but its methods used are even more horrible and brutal than the Nazis at the time. Regarding the CCP's low-profile denial, someone commented that the CCP's reaction is already in our expectation. The time remaining silent is the time to destroy the evidence and make arrangements. Several years ago, forced labor camps in different places in China were also intentionally open to the foreign media, but what reporters arranged to go to visit saw only what had been arranged.

A teacher commented that never believe what the CCP says, but should look at what it has done. Reviewing the past seven years, what has the CCP done to Falun Gong? The following is the public condemnation from Mr. Jiang, representative of Falun Gong practitioners in Taidong at the rally:

"Today I stand on this free land, like tens of thousands of Falun Gong practitioners in over 70 countries in the free world, I can freely choose and enjoy the wonderfulness of believing in 'Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.' But, I also very sad and condemn the CCP's brutal persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in the past seven years."

Since July 1999, the CCP's dictator Jiang Zemin manipulated the political power at hand, carried out the policy of "ruin their reputation, bankrupt them financially, and destroy them physically" against Falun Gong practitioners, and initiated a nation-wide persecution of Falun Gong. It mobilized the nation's propaganda machines, including radio, television, and newspaper to spread lies to deceive the public, and slander and defame Falun Gong. As law-abiding citizens, Falun Gong practitioners have been deprived of the right to speak, appeal and clarify the facts to the general public.

The CCP does not dare to make the facts known to the public, because all the persecution methods they have adopted are illegal and debased and afraid of being exposed. So they have gone so far as to take all measures to block the persecution facts, using its usual way in political movements to deceive and stir up the general public and incite people to hate Falun Gong.

The nearly seven-year genocidal persecution has resulted in the death of thousands of Falun Gong practitioners. Countless practitioners have been illegally sentenced to prison, forced labor camp, and tortured with over a hundred torture methods. Women practitioners have been subjected to being raped, abortion, forced brainwashing, deprivation of sleep, eating and using restroom, being electrically shocked and injected with unknown drugs and other tortures. The tortures were too brutal and barbaric to describe in language. Countless practitioners have lost their jobs and their school education, have their families broken apart, lived homeless lives. Their relatives and colleagues have been implicated. However, all these facts have been covered up by lies.

Now the revelation of harvesting Falun Gong practitioners' bodily organs to sell for profit in the Sujiatun concentration camp, once again proves that the CCP's bloodthirsty nature has never stopped. It also helps the world's people see clearly the CCP's evil nature. Such brutality that tramples upon human dignity should not exist in human society.

Everyone's life is precious, saving people's lives is like rescuing people from fire disaster. All kind-hearted people, please extend a helping hand, write or make phone calls to tell your friends and families, let us condemn and stop the CCP's atrocities.
