  • Ulm, Germany: Citizens Sign Petition Condemning CCP Brutality


    Exposing the CCP's brutality in downtown Ulm

     "God, what happened? What are they doing?" "How could these things happen?" German citizens were shocked by the display which demonstrated the CCP's harvesting organs from live Falun Gong practitioners.

    Display of CCP persecution of Falun Gong

    Citizens sign names to condemn CCP brutality.

    On May, 27, 2006, Falun Gong practitioners held an activity in downtown Ulm, in southern Germany, to expose the CCP's harvesting organs from live Falun Gong practitioners. It was a weekend, so a lot of citizens and tourists passed by. Practitioners displayed banners and photos, which clarified the truth of the CCP's persecution. The display, including an iron cage and various instruments of torture, shocked those who saw it. They listened to practitioners and learned the truth about the persecution. Many people could not believe what they heard. They could not believe that, in modern society, there is still such a government, which brutally persecutes a group of people who obey the principle of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance". Many people signed their names to condemn the CCP's brutality and many of them asked how they can help Falun Gong practitioners in China.

    A physician signed her own name and asked for more blank signature forms. Her husband has a clinic, so she would like to put some blank forms in the clinic so that their patients can also sign. A 12-year old boy watched the display for a long time and he asked for the blank signature forms for his classmates to sign.

    A waiter in a nearby restaurant told practitioners that he had to work, so he could not go to the activity, but he asked practitioners to bring the forms for him to sign, since he did not want to miss the opportunity. Later, practitioners brought the forms to the restaurant, many waiters signed their names, and their supervisor also signed his name.

    Some Chinese people came to the activity. Practitioners convinced some of them to quit the communist party. But some young students, who just came to Germany from China, didn't believe what practitioners were showing them. They kept repeating the CCP's lies. Practitioners patiently told them that the CCP is not equal to China. The reason that practitioners were exposing the CCP's brutality was because they love China, and they want Chinese people to live freely without the CCP. Chinese people cannot have real peace until the CCP is eliminated. A Chinese student yelled at practitioners. Although he was irrational, practitioners still wanted to give him a chance to learn the truth, because he wanted to talk to practitioners after all. They told him about The Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party and all the lies that the CCP made. Before he left, he was finally able to talk to practitioners rationally.

    Japan: Practitioners Protest Bo Xilai's Visit

     On May 27, 2006, Bo Xilai, one of the murderers who persecute Falun Gong practitioners, visited Japan as China's Commerce Minister. He stayed in a hotel in Kyoto. In the morning of May 28, Falun Gong practitioners from Kinki region came to the hotel and protested his crimes persecuting Falun Gong practitioners when he was the governor of Liaoning Province and mayor of Dalian.

    Practitioners ran into many Japanese policemen outside of the hotel. They clarified the truth of the persecution to the police one by one. They told the police that Bo is a criminal who violates human rights, and has been sued by Falun Gong practitioners in seven countries for genocide. When Bo visited Korea not long ago, practitioners protested his visit and have launched legal proceedings against him there.

    Bo was the governor of Liaoning Province until April 2004. He issued orders to persecute Falun Gong practitioners, which caused the death of 103 practitioners in Liaoning. Several witnesses have recently stepped forward to reveal the existence of a secret concentration camp in Sujiatun, Liaoning, where the CCP has harvested organs from living Falun Gong practitioners for profit since 2001.

    Bo Xilai is the top persecutor of Falun Gong practitioners in Liaoning and should be condemned by all people in the world.

    Japanese policemen learned the truth from practitioners, and understood practitioners' protest.

    Japan: Media Focus on CCP's Atrocity of Organ Harvest from Live Falun Gong Practitioners

    On the afternoon of May 26, 2006, practitioners of Shizuoka County, Japan hosted a press conference at Press Club in the County Government Building, calling for attention and help to stop the on-going crimes of organ harvesting from live practitioners, and to stop the Human Body Show scheduled to be held around Japan. On the same day, reporters from NHK, Shizuoka Broadcasting, The Daily Yomiuri, The MAINICHI Newspapers, Kyodo News and others newspapers and TV networks attended the conference.


    Reporters from major media attended the conference

    Reporters talked with Mr. Sato (right), editor of the Epoch Time - Japanese edition

    Mr. Sato, editor-in-chief of Epoch Times Japanese edition first introduced the disclosure of the Sujiatun incident, and played part of the interview record of the witness Mr. Peter, and phone call record of some volunteers calling a few major hospitals on inquiry of kidney and liver transplant .

    All these verified that the major hospitals in China are using organs from live practitioners for transplantation . According to the record, Peter said that he eye-witnessed the live organ excision in the hospital at Sujiatun in 2003. He also pointed out the security was strict at that time.

    Practitioner Ms. Liu of Shizuoka County told that, when she went to talk to Marrow Bank and Kidney Transplant Friendship Association of the county, their responses are astonishing. They said that they knew about the backward organ transplant techniques in China, follow-up service issues, organ trade in the black market, and the Chinese authorities using the death-row prisoners' organs for transplantation. They even pointed out that at least 7 Japanese died from organ transplants in China.

    Doctor Ms. Lei Shuhong explained that organ transplant operations have been increasing quickly in the recent years in China, and many hospitals do the operations without permits. This explained the ease of getting organ donors in each hospital. Comparing organ transplant data from China and other countries over recent years, and the direct promotion on the internet about quickly being able to find organ donors, suggests that a large number of Falun Gong practitioners are ready to be killed at any time when hospitals need an organ donor source for a profitable operation.

    Ms. Lei Shuhong questioned the sources of the donors for the 4000 of liver transplants and ten thousand kidney transplants in the last year in China. Government officials announced only 1770 executions that year. Even if they were all used in organ transplantation, the gap is still huge.

    Ms. Lei also pointed out that most of the liver transplant centers in China were established by the end of 2000 or early 2001. It best explained the organ harvest of live practitioners starting from 2001. It is consistent with what the second witness mentioned that the organ excision from live practitioners from 2001. In 2001, there was a report that there were 14 cases of kidney transplant on one day of April 20 in Taiping Hospital of Humen Town, Dongguan County. And according to the news from the website of Guangzhou Daily, The First Hospital affiliated to the Zhongshan Medical University had even more than ten cases of kidney transplant each day (the highest is 19 cases), while the liver transplant record was 6 cases a day and a multi-organs transplant. It indicated that the killing is going on since 2001. This corroborates what the third witness of the Sujiatun incident said that, the biggest secret concentration camp for Falun Gong practitioners in China is in Jilin Province, one of the three provinces in the northeast China.


    Fu Lin held brother's picture in hand, calling for helps in finding his whereabouts

    Local practitioner Fu Lin narrated that his entire family of six practiced Falun Gong, and that five of them were persecuted in China. His fourth brother Xie Yunhuan, 31, studied in Japan and was unlawfully imprisoned after going back to China to appeal. He was sentenced to ten years in prison for "making 90 fliers and printing 1400 pamphlets". He said that his brother is still in prison, and the authorities don't permit family visits. So it's been a while for not having any contact with that brother.

    In the end, the representative of Japanese NPO, Falun Dafa Association, Mr. Tsuruzono Masaaki called media for help to end the killing as early as possible; and to stop the possible human body show in Shizuoka. He said: "Most of the Japanese might think that the organ transplant doesn't do much to Japan. Actually, many Japanese spent a lot of money for kidney transplants in China. They in fact are helping the Chinese Communist regime to kill people."

    Reporters asked many questions to each speaker after the conference.

    Switzerland: Falun Gong Information Day in Zurich City Centre

     Even though it was drizzling on May 20th, 2006, Falun Gong practitioners held another Falun Gong information day in Parade Square in Zurich.

    Many people were standing in the rain, watching practitioners demonstrate the Falun Gong exercises, and reading the information on the display boards about the spread of Falun Gong around the world and its persecution in China. They were shocked to learn about the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) harvesting organs from live Falun Gong practitioners. Some people asked in detail about the practice of Falun Gong, why it is being persecuted and what they can do to stop this atrocity.

    Practitioners told them that Falun Gong is a traditional Chinese practice which teaches the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. But because the CCP follows the principles of deceit, wickedness, and violence, they would not allow the 100 million Falun Gong practitioners to follow the principles of Falun Gong and be good people; that is why they started the suppression of Falun Gong seven years ago. The practitioners further recommended that people learn more by reading the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party published by The Epoch Times newspaper, which exposes the evil nature of the CCP objectively and systematically. It is invaluable for anyone who wants to understand the CCP and to understand why the party would suppress Falun Gong which is widely practiced in eighty countries around the world.


    Passers-by stopped to learn the facts

    People Learn the Truth

    Some people said that the suppression of Falun Gong by the CCP is really horrifying, especially after they found out that living practitioners are subjected to organ harvesting and are then cremated to destroy the evidence. Many people signed the petition asking for an investigation into the suppression of Falun Gong as soon as possible, so that the truth will be revealed sooner. Some of them wanted to donate money to Falun Gong practitioners, but the practitioners told them that Falun Gong does not accept financial support. Instead, they told people that if they want to, they can help by telling more people about the suppression, and they can write letters to their government and media to let more people know the facts. Stopping the spread of the CCP's lies and propaganda against Falun Gong would offer the most support for Falun Gong.

    A tourist from Ireland told a practitioner that he has personally witnessed the beating of Falun Gong practitioners by the police. The first time was near the Forbidden City; he saw two Falun Gong practitioners opening up a banner and they were quickly beaten up by many men and then dragged away by the policemen. The other time, he saw a man and a child doing the meditation on the pavement while displaying a banner, then policemen quickly came up and gathered around them, and finally brought them away. He said that this is a very serious violation of the freedom of speech, and everyone should be entitled to the freedom of expressing their own view and have freedom of belief, but this is currently lacking in China.

    This tourist also said that he has seen Falun Gong practitioners at many places, for example in Japan and in front of the International Court of Justice in The Hague. He said that it is incomprehensible that people can practice Falun Gong all around the world, but it is banned in China.

    "I want to learn Falun Gong."

    An architect from Kreuzlingen named Christofel said that he has been searching for various ways of spiritual practice. He asked a lot of questions about Falun Gong, and also learned the five sets of exercises. During the process he said that he could feel strong energy flowing in his body, and said that he would go to the local practice site to learn the exercises further.

    Christofel also said that he knew about the seven years suppression of Falun Gong in China and the atrocity of the CCP in harvesting organs from live Falun Gong practitioners followed by their cremation. He thought that this is a very serious crime. He further commented that he could not comprehend why the CCP would persecute a practice which bring such a positive effect to people's spiritual well-being. He said that he loved Chinese culture and hoped that every Chinese person would have the right to choose their own path and that the ruling power would not interfere with people's freedom of belief.

    "I am not going to buy cheap products made in China anymore"

    After learning that some Falun Gong practitioners are forced to do long hours of labor in forced labor camps, sometimes in very toxic environments, a passer-by said that she will not buy any cheap products from China anymore, because she knows now that the production of the goods involves the violation of human rights. She said that she knew about the suppression of Falun Gong.

    Many people thought that it was really noble for the practitioners to hold this kind of truth clarification activity, to help more people know about what is really happening in China. Many people knew that the production of cheap goods from China involves unscrupulous activities and human rights violations, but this is rarely exposed by the media. They thought that the government and the media should put more effort into solving this human rights issue.

    "I will tell my Chinese friends about the truth of the persecution"

    A woman started a conversation with a practitioner, and said that she knew all about the suppression of Falun Gong in China. She said that she is currently working in China. The practitioner asked her to tell all her friends in China about the truth of the persecution, and talked to her about how the information blockade by the CCP prevents lots of people from learning the truth. She said, "Of course, I will tell my Chinese friends all about this. I have many Chinese friends, I will tell them."
