     At noon on April 30, 2006, Sunday, the sun was brilliant, and the sky was clear and blue. The Quit the CCP Service Centre and people from all walks of life held a grand parade in New York's Chinatown to support the ten million brave people who have quit the CCP. Participants also want to bring a stop to the CCP regime's use of forced labor camps, prisons, detention centers, hospitals and related facilities to carry out ruthless persecution of Falun Gong practitioners.


    Rally to support quitting the CCP

    People in the parade procession held a variety of banners, display boards and models of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party. They sent out a strong message to the people in Chinatown and people from all social strata: Heaven will eliminate the CCP, quitting the CCP is to protect one's own safety. The Celestial Band marching band displayed Falun Gong's grandeur and wonder with a grand performance. A large truck that exposed the CCP's harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners in forced labor camps, prisons and hospitals shocked everyone. It exposed the genocidal killing of Falun Gong practitioners. Practitioners appeal to people from all walks of life to support and participate in the Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (CIPFG) to go to China to investigate CCP atrocities and help end the persecution.

    Support quitting the CCP

    1. The Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party

    Huge banner reading, "Grand Parade Supporting Ten Million People Quitting the CCP" took the lead of the parade procession. The Celestial Band cleared the way. Right behind the band was a huge Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party book, followed by banners displaying the titles of each of the nine commentaries.

    Dr. Li from the Service Center to Quit the CCP said, "Since the publication of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party on November 19, 2004, it inspired the first grand parade in New York's Chinatown in April 2005 supporting one million withdrawals from the CCP. Today one year later, we gathered again in New York's Chinatown, this time, we hold a grand parade to support ten million withdrawals from the CCP. The number of people who have renounced the CCP and its affiliated organizations has exceeded ten million one hundred thousand. The number is increased by 30 thousand daily. In Mainland China, a large number of people pasted their statements to withdraw from the CCP in public places."

    2. Calling for support for a complete investigation

    The second section of the parade procession exposed the CCP's crimes in the past 50 years, particularly displaying the CCP's seven-year brutal killing of innocent Falun Gong practitioners. Many people in the parade held display boards depicting various tortures used to torture and abuse Falun Gong practitioners, and banners demanding, "Bring Jiang Zemin, Luo Gan, Liu Jing and Zhou Yongkang to Justice." A mock live organ harvest was performed on a truck. Explanations in both English and Chinese was broadcast via a loudspeaker. People watched it quietly, shocked at the CCP's brutality and inhumanity.

    Chairman of the CIPFG Mr. Zhao also participated in the parade. He explained that the live organ harvesting started late 2000, reached its peak from 2001 to 2003, and still goes on until now. Many forced labor camps, prisons, detention centers, hospitals (especially police hospitals and military system hospitals), and the extension of forced labor camps and prisons--secret concentration camps, all should be held accountable for this inhuman criminal act.

    CIPFG plans to investigate every forced labor camp, prison, detention center and hospital where Falun Gong practitioners have been incarcerated, with the concerted efforts of people from inside and outside China. The CIPFG is inviting people from all walks of life, human rights organizations, legal circles, government organizations to join in the investigation.

    Mr. Wang Zhiyuan, representative from the World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG), pointed out that the volunteers of the WOIPFG have conducted investigations via making phone calls to big hospitals in Tianjin, Shanghai, Shandong, Hubei and Wuhan and other places. Recordings of doctors and staff in hospitals directly admitting that they used Falun Gong practitioners' organs for transplant operations are available. Some even said all organs for transplants are from Falun Gong practitioners. Such inhuman persecution must be immediately stopped.

    3. Bid Farewell to Evil, Greet a New China without the CCP

    At the end of the parade, people sang and danced, played waist drums, and played lion and dragon dances, symbolizing people saying good-bye to the evil and greeting a new China without the CCP.

    Falun Gong practitioner Dr. Wei expressed that the CCP is afraid of Falun Gong. It knows that it has committed monstrous crimes against Falun Gong in the past seven years, especially its harvesting of Falun Gong practitioners' organs for profit. Falun Gong practitioners have been persistently clarifying the truth over the past seven years. More and more people have learned about the truth, and seen clearly the CCP's evil nature, and dare to voice their concerns. Eyewitnesses stand up and speak out, righteous lawyers stand up and speak out, ten million brave people stand up and speak out to say good-bye to the vile CCP.

    The great tide of quitting the CCP will become stronger and stronger. The chief perpetrators of persecuting Falun Gong, Jiang Zemin, Luo Gan and their accomplices will be held accountable for their crimes. Fortunate people will soon see a new era without the CCP.

    Lucerne, Switzerland: People Shocked by CCP Crimes

     A Falun Gong booth again appeared on the post office square in Lucerne, Switzerland, a famous tourist attraction. This time, a reenactment of live organ removal was held near the information table. The CCP harvests organs from live Falun Gong practitioners for profit and then cremates their bodies in order to eliminate evidence, and this event was to raise awareness of this issue.


    Re-enactment exposing CCP atrocities


    Passersby are carefully reading exhibition boards of truth clarification


    Passerby are, one after another, signing the petition calling for an investigation into CCP's atrocities

    On seeing the re-enactment, some passers-by came and read exhibition boards explaining all kinds of tortures that Falun Gong practitioners have been suffering, and then went to the information table and signed the petition calling for the end of the inhuman persecution.

    Having seen the re-enactment of the operation, many people were shocked and asked, one after another, "Is it true?" Practitioners explained, "Doctors are removing organs from live Falun Gong practitioners who are illegally kidnapped and locked up in order to make huge profits and then burn their bodies to eliminate the evidences. Look! The price list in front of the operation table is extracted from a website of a hospital in China."

    Some reactions from passers-by:

    "Too horrifying, too miserable!"

    "Why on earth has such a thing happened today? We absolutely can't put up with it, not a bit!"

    "It reminds me of Nazi Concentration Camps in those years. Many people know that Hitler was bad and think that the Communist Party is not that bad. But I know that the Communist Party is even worse than the Nazis."

    While uttering their exclamations, passersby signed, one after another, the petition to stop the persecution.

    Three tourists from Italy asked for the truth clarification materials. After a practitioner gave them materials, as she did not speak Italian, she did not know how to explain to them the fact that the CCP's crimes of removing organs from live Falun Gong practitioners so that she did not ask them to sign the petition. After reading the materials and forms of petition in German on the table, a lady among them initiatively signed the petition.

    Many who had passed by the stall before stopped this time and read the exhibition boards.

    An old lady waiting for her daughter who was withdrawing some money from a cash machine was looking at the re-enactment all along. On seeing a practitioner coming over to withdraw money, she asked "What are they doing there?" The practitioner told her: "They are re-enacting what is happening right now in China." After getting to know the facts later, both the old lady and her daughter signed the petition calling for an investigation into CCP's persecution.

    While talking with a practitioner, a passerby from Israel said: "God will not leave them alone and just sit by and watch if people are committing evil doing unrestrictedly and showing no sign of repentance.

    Russia: Practitioners Hold a Press Conference to Commemorate the April 25 Appeal

     April 25, 2006 was the seventh anniversary of the peaceful appeal staged by over ten thousand Falun Gong practitioners in China. Russian Falun Gong practitioners held a press conference on "the genocide in China," at Moscow's Central House of Journalists to mark the occasion. The purpose was to expose the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)'s persecution of Falun Gong, especially the atrocities of harvesting organs from living practitioners in various labor camps, prisons and hospitals.

    Among the guests who gave speeches were chairperson of the Moscow Falun Dafa Association, a representative of the Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong in China (CIPFG), and Ludmilla Alexeeva, a representative of Moscow Helsinki Group, who is a renowned human rights activist.

    The chairperson of Moscow Falun Dafa Association said, "The brutal persecution launched by Chinese communist Regime against Falun Gong has been going on for seven years. Russian practitioners have introduced the magnificence of Falun Gong, with their personal experience of the practice based on the principals of "Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance," to various government agencies, media and the general public during the past seven years. In order to put an end to the persecution, they also exposed CCP's atrocities against Falun Gong practitioners and CCP's lies to slander Falun Gong. Some people might wonder that our exposing the Chinese communist regime's persecution against Falun Gong is tantamount to opposing China. In fact, the Chinese communist regime does not stand for China. China has five thousand years of civilization and glorious traditional culture. It is simply because we loved traditional Chinese culture and started to learn qigong that many of us began to practice Falun Gong. Our protest against the persecution of Falun Gong not only can help rescue the practitioners in China, but it can also defend our sacred belief. Wherever the persecution happens, all of us will definitely protest against it. We hope that the international community can help put an end to the persecution.

    The Chinese communist regime has stepped up efforts to destroy evidence in various labor camps and other establishments that imprisoned Falun Gong practitioners. In the meantime, all organ transplantation centers and relevant hospitals have been making efforts to proceed with organ transplant operation. As a result, a massacre is on going in China. With the coordination of the Falun Dafa Association and the Minghui Website, the Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong in China (CIPFG) has been established. We hope that governments of various countries, mass media and human rights organizations are able to participate in this investigation. If the international communities turn a deaf ear to such an evil act, it will certainly endanger the safety of the whole world including Russia. Such crimes must be condemned and brought to justice."

    The representative of the CIPFG said, "The inside story of the on-going persecution against Falun Gong by the Chinese communist regime has been exposed to the public worldwide. The atrocity of harvesting and selling living Falun Gong practitioners' organs is a systematic sinister work colluding with officials at all levels. It proves that the Chinese communist regime's fascist-style systems are leading China toward the evil path. Anyone of good conscience, regardless of whether they are government officials or presidents, if they are really concerned about our national future, should take a stand on this matter."

    Human rights activist Ludmilla Alexeeva said: "I have no special connection with Falun Gong, but the persecution we talked about at this conference is really horrible. Falun Gong is a peaceful cultivation group. Their persistence in their own belief is understandable. I believe that in addition to Falun Gong practitioners, all righteous people will never turn a deaf ear to the Chinese regime's persecution, and instead they would help stop it. After the World War II, we pledged not to let the Holocaust concentration camps be repeated again. Today, sixty years have elapsed, but the evil atrocities in the concentration camps have resurged, and moreover, it is beyond what we can stand. We must do our level best to stop China's brutal atrocities that have directly endangered the world's civilization and culture.

    Sixteen news agencies attended the press conference including Pravda, Sound of Moscow, AFP, Moscow University State news, and the People's Daily.

    New Zealand: Rally Supporting Ten Million Withdrawals from the CCP

     On April 29, 2006, people from all circles in New Zealand rallied on Elizabeth Square in downtown Auckland to support the ten million people quitting CCP and its affiliates, and to condemn CCP atrocities of harvesting organs from live practitioners.


    The rally venue

    In a speech on the rally, Ms. Chen Feng said on behalf of New Zealand Branch of the Quit the CCP Global Service Center, "The ten million withdrawals from the CCP are a miracle in China's isolated society under tight control of CCP tyranny. It means that nobody can block the historical movement." She called on the public to condemn the atrocities the CCP has committed, and to help to conduct an independent investigation into the crimes of excising organs from living practitioners in China.

    Practitioner Leon of New Zealand said in his speech that the two witnesses came out last week. CCP is good at cover-ups and lies. Mounting evidence shows that the atrocities are happening in China. This has crossed the bottom line of human morality. Many people still remain silent. It is a test for everyone to make a choice between money and conscience.


    People learn the facts and sign a petition

    Mr. Sam Murphy, Editor-in-Chief of the English Epoch Time New Zealand branch briefed CCP's each persecution against Chinese people in the history. He also told about the shocking facts of the CCP excising organs from living practitioners, and cremating their remains to destroy evidence. He pointed out that the CCP failed to keep the Epoch Times from speaking out righteousness voice. Then CCP attacked Epoch Times staff members, damaged printing equipment and harassed employees of Epoch Times. Mr. Sam Murphy asserted to CCP, "We will expose your every evil deed, let the entire world know the nature of the CCP." and "The Epoch Times will never fear CCP's intimidation."

    Mr. Pan Qing, a democratic activist of New Zealand delivered a speech in the rally. He addressed that ten million people quitting CCP is just a start of getting rid of CCP tyranny. The latest exposure of CCP's atrocities of live organ removal indicates that CCP's days are numbered. Mr. Pan explained the anti-human crime with the facts that Nazi killed six million Jews in World War II and that the former Soviet Union killed tens of thousands of people in Gulag. He said, "Forgetting history would let it happen again". If we don't care about the atrocity in China today, miserable hardships will happen on us tomorrow. He believed that CCP will be buried by the awaken Chinese in the near future.


    Little Kaixin says, "I don't have Mom, I miss Mom."

    Entered New Zealand as a UN refugee not long ago, practitioner Mr. Huang Guohua and his daughter Kaixin also attended the rally. Little Kainxin said the innocent voice, "I don't have Mom, I miss Mom." The voice moved many people to tears in the rally. Leading Kaixin in one hand and holding a microphone in the other, Guohua exposed the persecution in China that he suffered and his wife were tortured to death. He stated that CCP's atrocities of live organ removal from practitioners showed that CCP is worse than Nazi, and is a real terrorist organization.
