(Clearwisdom.net) On April 5th, 2006, Falun Gong practitioners held a press conference in front of New York's City Hall to expose the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP's) inhumane atrocities of harvesting organs from living practitioners in concentration camps. On the following day, practitioners continued their truth-clarifying efforts outside City Hall to raise awareness of these atrocities.
Practitioners held up posters and banners to show the public the brutality of the persecution. A banner reading, "Over 6,000 Falun Gong practitioners detained in Sujiatun, China, 2/3 have been killed and organs were removed from living practitioners for profit," caught the attention of many people.
Passers-by were shocked by the cruel inhumanity revealed in the posters and banners. Many people accepted the practitioners' truth-clarifying materials, and others stopped to ask for details. While some found it very hard to believe that such brutal things have happened, many said that the atrocities were simply horrible and hoped that President Bush and other officials would take immediate actions to stop the killing. In addition, some people said that they would keep practitioners in their prayers. There were also significant numbers of people who asked what they could do to help.
In the meantime, at Grand Central subway station, the exhibition, "Help Stop the Chinese Communist Regime's New Massacre" is going on every day. Many people have shown their support, and encouraged practitioners to persist. Some people criticized the mainstream media's silence and pointed out that the media would regret their current conduct.
The research of the World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG) has confirmed that, in the three weeks after the exposure of the Sujiatun Concentration Camp to the international community in March 2006, the camp has been transferred to unknown location(s). Meanwhile, some hospitals and organ transplantation centers in Mainland China are rushing to perform a large number of transplant operations -- it is apparent that a massacre to destroy victims and witnesses is happening. The Chinese Communist regime hastily published the "Interim Regulation for Human Organ Transplant Practice," however, the regulation will not take effect until July 1, 2006, allocating enough time to destroy all evidence of the crimes of illegal organ harvesting.
All investigation has confirmed that hospitals and transplant centers in Heilongjiang, Liaoning, Jilin, Beijing, Tianjin, Henan, Hebei, Hubei and Wuhan City, Hunan, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Yunnan, Anhui, Shan'xi and Xinjiang are operating overtime to perform transplant operations. Hospital staff members told undercover investigators that patients should come in quickly if he or she wants a transplant, as they can find matching organs in as short as one or two days and it will be difficult after this batch of organs is used up.
Moreover, WOIPFG investigation confirmed that the Chinese Communist regime has set up concentration camps all over the country, similar to the one in Sujiatun. The camps are suspected to specialize in detaining and secretly killing people who are steadfast in their belief in Falun Gong. The camps harvest organs from living Falun Gong practitioners for transplant. The sudden recent increase of organ supply in China is not an individual situation, but is widespread throughout the country. The Chinese Communist regime is suspected to destroy the bodily remains after organ harvesting, to wipe out the evidence. WOIPFG thus believes that the slaughter of Falun Gong practitioners detained in the camps is taking place at an unusually high rate!
The Communist regime has been persecuting Falun Gong for nearly seven years. All their brutal persecutory tricks have been carried out to the extreme. The exposing of the concentration camp only revealed a corner behind the curtain of the persecution. To get more facts of the persecution and to stop the crimes as soon as possible, "The Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong in China (CIPFG) " was established on April 4, 2006. The Coalition will conduct a thorough investigation of the crimes of the Chinese Communist regime committed in the persecution of Falun Gong.
Practitioner A'zhen said, "We come here today to call on all conscientious people. We hope that everybody can see the enormous crimes that the Chinese Communist regime is committing."
A'zhen continued, "Starting with each person, we hope that everyone will take actions to help us end the ongoing slaughter."
