(Minghui.org) Posters depicting the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) practice of harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners were on display inside the Massachusetts Statehouse, in Boston, on June 24-28, 2013. Many commonwealth officials and visitors stopped by to read the posters. After learning the facts, they condemned the Chinese regime's brutality, and called for an end to this crime against humanity.
Massachusetts Senator Marc R. Pacheco said that he was concerned about the allegations of live organ harvesting and hoped that the practitioners would continue to provide him with additional information on the issue.
Visitors read posters detailing the CCP practice of organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners
Jenny, a Chinese woman and her husband, both U.S. residents, became very emotional after reading the posters. “These represent two different worlds,” she said, pointing to two posters. “One shows the communist party’s brutal persecution of Falun Gong and the other one shows the righteous voices against the persecution across the world.” She expressed hope that more people would step forward to help stop the crime of live organ harvesting.
Dr. Fernando, a neurology expert, characterized the communist party as “extremely cruel.” He expressed support for the poster event and also called for a stop to the practice of live organ harvesting.
Paul Hostovsky, a Jewish man from Medford City, said that it wasn't until he read the posters and talked to a practitioner that he knew the facts about Falun Gong. He had previously been mislead by the CCP propaganda defaming the practice.
Lisa McManus, a medical professional from Columbus, Ohio, said that part of her job involves organ transplantation. She said that she was shocked at the Party’s brutality, and applauded Falun Gong practitioners’ courage and efforts to stop the persecution. Before she left, she also signed the petition condemning the Chinese regime’s practice of live organ harvesting.
Doreen Kelly, a resident of Ireland, carefully read each poster. She said that she was shocked at the Chinese regime's crimes.
"Although Hitler's treatment of the Jewish people was horrible," she noted, "live organ harvesting in China is even worse!"
"Think about it. Imprisoning healthy people and killing them for their organs is beyond the imagination of most people in the world; it's just too horrible. And the worst part about it is that this has been happening on such a large scale, for such a long time."
Ms. Kelly could not understand why people continue to be so indifferent to the issue. She signed the petition form supporting Falun Gong practitioners’ effort to stop the crime.
