A parade of more than 1200 people in Washington D.C. supported the wave of over 10 million people who have resigned from the CCP. The parade was held on the afternoon of April 19, 2006, and was organized by the Global Service Center of Quitting the CCP. The parade covered 10 blocks around the the White House and drew tremendous attention. A rally was held in McPherson Square after the parade. People attending the rally condemned the atrocities of live-harvesting Falun Gong practitioners' organs by the CCP and called for investigation of Chinese forced labor camps and end of persecution of Falun Gong.

Collapse of CCP Imminent as the Number of Withdrawals Reaches 10 Million

Rally in support of 10 million people resigning from the CCP.

Dr. Li Dayong, Chair of Global Service Center of Quitting of the CCP and Chair of Global Coalition to Bring Jiang to Justice, said at the rally that the people who had quit the CCP were from all walks of life. They were workers, farmers, policemen, lawyers, officials, athletes and even soldiers, CCP agents and national security staff. A big proportion of Chinese have realized the evil nature of the CCP. The CCP can no longer stop its imminent demise.

Dr. Li thanked more than 100 branches of the Global Service Center of Quitting the CCP and thousands and thousands of volunteers for their dedicated service. They provide venues for the Chinese to quit the CCP, the Communist Youth League and the Youth Pioneer League through phone, fax, TV and the Internet.

Bring Murderers to Justice

Ms. Guo Jun, Chief Editor of the Epoch Times, played a voice recording of the witness' testimony about the Sujiatun Concentration Camp. Mr. Wang Zhiyuan, representative of World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong, played recorded audio evidence found through investigation. His organization found more than one hundred hospitals in 22 Chinese provinces engaged in making profit from harvesting Falun Gong practitioners' organs for transplant.

Michael Horowitz, Director of the Hudson Institute's Project on Civil Justice Reform and Project on International Religious Liberty

Michael Horowitz, Director of the Hudson Institute's Project on Civil Justice Reform and Project on International Religious Liberty, happened to pass the rally and gave an extemporaneous speech. He said on hearing the news about the CCP's live-harvesting of Falun Gong practitioners' organs, he swore to not let it go until the murderers were brought to justice. They would have to be punished. Dr. Horowitz put on a yellow T-shirt printed with "Falun Dafa Is Good." He said he wished to testify to the world about the misery of Falun Gong practitioners.

Executive Director of Worldrights Mr. Timothy Cooper said the CCP had three weeks to destroy evidence after the news of harvesting Falun Gong practitioners' organs was publicized internationally before they responded. If the international community treats the charge seriously, an unrestricted investigation of any detention center or forced labor camp at any time should be insisted upon. It is the only effective way to find the truth. Mr. Cooper called for random investigation by the international community to stop the atrocities, like the investigations conducted by international nuclear regulatory bodies.

Mr. Zhao Zhangji, Chairman of the Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong in China (CIPFG), said having paid close attention to the brutal persecution of Falun Gong by the CCP in the past seven years, CIPFG called for the international community to join the investigation team to make independent, direct and unrestricted investigation in Chinese forced labor camps, jails, detention centers and hospitals. He hoped the international community would see clearly the trick of transferring victims by the CCP and focus on forced labor camps, jails and other facilities where Falun Gong practitioners are imprisoned.

Seven Years of Persecution Undeniable

On behalf of seven Falun Dafa Associations in the U.S., Dr. Wei Pengfei said the CCP fears Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance. They destroyed evidence in Sujiatun out of fear, because they knew the crime of the persecution in the past seven years had been monstrous. They could destroy evidence in all concentration camps. They could turn all forced labor camps to gardens, but more than 40,000 documented bloody cases of the persecution in the past seven years, together with the testimony of witnesses who had stepped out, could never be covered up.

Falun Gong practitioners on a street close to the White House.

On the evening of April 19, 2006, Head of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Hu Jintao arrived in Washington D.C. To protest against and condemn the persecution of Falun Gong by the CCP and to call for the end of the persecution, Falun Gong practitioners unfolded banners at all street crossings around the White House that Hu had to pass. Their banners stated in both Chinese and English, "Falun Dafa Is Good!" "Stop Persecuting Falun Gong." "Bring Jiang, Luo, Liu and Zhou to Justice." "Bring Police Persecutors to Justice." "Call for Complete Investigation of Chinese Forced Labor Camps and Jails." "Immediately Stop Live-Harvesting of Falun Gong Practitioners' Organs." "The CCP Is Doomed." "Support 10 Million People Quitting CCP."

Truth-Clarification to "Welcome Crew"

Falun Gong practitioners met the "welcome crew" hired by the CCP Embassy at the west street crossing behind the White House. Although Falun Gong practitioners had positioned themselves, the "welcome crew" tried all means to block Falun Gong banners and display boards with their blood-red flags. However, it didn't seem to work well. Falun Gong banners still stood out.

Falun Gong practitioners and the Chinese in the "welcome crew" stood next to each other. Many practitioners took the opportunity to clarify the truth to the "welcome crew." Ms. Wang came all the way from the U.K. She said, "Many Chinese asked me if what the display boards said was true. I could tell many of them had sympathy when I told them about the persecution."

Mr. Yang, a Falun Gong practitioner from Canada, told his fellow Chinese in deep and peaceful voice through a speaker, "The Chinese nation has five thousand years of splendid culture. The Chinese Communist Party is no equivalent of China. We love China as much as you do. But we don't love the Communist Party. Countless Chinese have been killed during the dozens of years of CCP's ruling. The CCP doesn't represent China in any way. We all hope that China will do well and Chinese people will prosper. China would have been better without the CCP and dozens of years of its political movements. We sincerely ask you to quit the CCP if you are a member. Leave yourself a route of retreat. You will witness the CCP collapse pretty soon."

Mr. Yang added, "We have the freedom of expressing ourselves here, but we can't do the same thing in China, not even have the freedom of belief. Didn't we leave China to look for freedom and better life? Why can't we go back to our motherland to enjoy freedom?" All Chinese listened quietly.

Ms. Zhao, a Falun Gong practitioner from Virginia, stood across the street. When Falun Gong practitioners shouted, "CCP is a party of corruption. CCP is a party of murder. CCP is a party of hooligans..." Ms. Zhao asked a member in the "welcome crew", "Don't you think every word is true?" The member of "welcome crew" couldn't say a word, but kept nodding. Ms. Zhao said, "You can shout Falun Gong Is Good with us." He said, "Can I say it silently?" Ms. Zhao replied, "Yes, it is the same thing. It will bring you and your family reward." He nodded quietly and wiped his eyes in tears.

Falun Gong practitioners played a recording of Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party to their fellow Chinese at every street crossing. The peaceful but powerful voice pierced the sky. The listeners were shaken. They played some revolutionary songs and shouted slogans at first. But then they all concentrated on listening.

A Call for Justice

Hu Jintao's motorcade passed the street crossing east of the White House around 10:15 pm. No "welcome crew" was found at this crossing and the crossing at Lafayette Park, which they also passed. Dozens of huge Falun Gong banners stood out. Falun Gong practitioners shouted to the motorcade again and again, "Falun Dafa Is Good!" "Stop Persecuting Falun Gong." "The CCP Is Doomed."...

Hu must have seen the banners and heard the cries clearly when he passed and when he got out of the car.

The "welcome crew" at crossing west of the White House turned around. Their blood-red flags ended up being behind Falun Gong practitioners' banners. Their welcome slogans were lost in Falun Gong practitioners' voice.

A practitioner from New York, Mr. Wei said, "We hope Hu Jintao will treasure his opportunity. So many Falun Gong practitioners have died from the persecution! It has been so long! He should have realized it. We hope he will be able to tell the right and the wrong, give up his illusion about the CCP and choose the right path."

The "welcome crew" was quickly dismissed. Something dramatic happened at this time. The police moved the security bars back by a dozen meters. Falun Gong practitioners were able to get closer. They called neatly, clearly and loudly. Their compassionate voice penetrated the dark sky, shaking everyone's heart. Falun Gong practitioners shouted for more than a half hour and sent forth righteous thought before they left.

Many local Falun Gong practitioners stay overnight to send forth righteous thought with pure mind to eliminate the evil in other dimensions.

Falun Gong practitioners in Germany wrote letters to their elected representatives to tell them the truth of the concentration camps, and to ask for their help to perform a complete investigation into facilities where practitioners have been incarcerated and to help stop the genocide of Falun Gong.

In the past few weeks the practitioners received many replies from their Members of Parliament. The MPs condemned the persecution of Falun Gong and the violations of basic human rights. Various political parties in Germany all confirmed the respect for human rights and the efforts for improving human rights in China.

An MP in Southern Germany wrote: "The realization of global basic human rights is an important humane foundation of German foreign trade. Improving human rights and setting up human rights organizations is very important to the German government. Thus, the German government pays a great deal of attention to the human rights situation in China. The incident you mentioned in the letter is intolerable and should be subject to the most severe punishment."

Meanwhile, an MP of the German Green Party enumerated several recent moves taken by the Green Party to stop the persecution of Falun Gong. The letter pointed out the Green Party is very clear the CCP government is capable of doing anything in order to persecute Falun Gong. However, no concession can be made on the issue of human rights. The pursuit of economic development alone can not improve human rights situation.

An MP from Bavaria said that the existence of secret concentration camps is shocking. He assured the practitioners and said that the police and constitutional protection committee will guarantee the safety of people living in Bavaria and encouraged practitioners to continue the rescue efforts.

On behalf of all the Turkish Falun Gong practitioners, the Turkish Falun Gong Association recently sent a petition to the Human Rights Investigation Committee of the Turkish Grand National Assembly (TGNA) to expose the Chinese Communist regime's atrocities of persecution and killing of Falun Gong practitioners in over thirty concentration camps. The petition called on the Turkish authorities concerned to help put an end to the cruel persecution and reckless killing of Falun Gong practitioners in China, which has lasted for over seven years.

On April 4th, 2006, Mr. Mehmet Elkatmis, senior member of the TGNA and chairman of the Human Rights Investigation Committee of the TGNA, signed a reply letter in person to explicitly express the Committee's strong condemnation of the Chinese regime's atrocities. The following is the translation of the text of the reply letter:

Letter of the Human Rights Investigation Committee of the Turkish Grand National Assembly.

Date: April 4th 2006.

Dear Ms. Goldring and Mr. Kocman of the Falun Gong Association:

With regard to the petition addressed to this Committee, in which you explained that Falun Gong is illegally banned in China and the fact that Falun Gong practitioners are being cruelly tortured and persecuted in China, this Committee has fully reviewed your appeal.

According to the international human rights convention, cruel torture and abuse are absolutely prohibited, and these inhuman deeds are entirely unacceptable. Around the world, no matter where it is, this kind of cruel torture and abuse are crimes against humanity. This Committee therefore strongly condemns the behaviours of cruel torture and abuse against Falun Gong practitioners.

Sincerely,

Mehmet Elkatmis.

Chairman
The Human Rights Investigation Committee of the Turkish Grand National Assembly
Member of the Turkish Grand National Assembly in Nevsehir City
