Czech Republic: 24-hour Hunger Strike Protest against the Concentration Camp in Sujiatun

Falun Gong practitioners from the Czech Republic held a 24-hour hunger strike to protest against the concentration camp in Sujiatun, where Chinese practitioners are illegaly detained. The hunger strike began on Saturday, March 25th at 10am, at the Chinese Embassy in Prague.

At 3pm that day, practitioners moved to the tourist centre of Prague, Old Town Square, where they displayed banners reading "Thousands of Falun Gong practitioners were still alive when their organs were removed in the concentration camp in Sujiatun, China", "Hunger strike to support human rights in China", as well as a banner with photos and detailed information about the camp. The protest continued until 10am the next morning in wet weather. Practitioners distributed information about the death camp to passers-by and collected signatures on a petition addressed to the Prime Minister of the Czech Republic and the Czech Government, asking them to investigate these crimes and actively help to stop them.

Passers-by expressed their sympathy with the people suffering in the concentration camp, they expressed their support even during the late night hours, when the square was almost empty. One man burst into tears, when he had read about the horrors happening in China and when he saw the practitioners doing their peaceful meditation. "I’m so shattered. This meeting is not an accident, how can I help you?", he said. A German journalist from Deutsche Welle decided to write about the death camp Sujiatun. It was the first time he had heard about the brutal persecution of the Falun Gong practitioners in China and the witness testimonies quoted in flyers shocked him deeply.

The intitial reports about the concentration camp in Shenyang were provided to the Epoch Times newspaper by a reporter who has access to secret information about the Chinese Communist Party. According to his words, in this camp there are about 6 000 practitioners illegaly detained and to date none have escaped from it alive. A female witness who worked in the Liaoning hospital situated right beside the camp confirmed that organs like corneas, kidneys and heart are taken away from practitioners while they are still alive in most cases and then are being sold to diverse hospitals. Organs taken from living people are much more lucrative than organs removed from dead bodies. Bodies of dead practitioners are then being incinerated in the nearby crematorium. Some of the practitioners were still alive when they were thrown into the incinerator.

According to the statement by the Chinese doctor, the procedures in which the organs are romoved from the executed prisoners without their agreement or agreement from their families are quite common. The executioner shoots the prisoner but he is still alive after the execution. The organs are then removed from the body. The doctors working for a long time in such a place are accustomed to these practises and they do not think of the ethics anymore. They do not realise that they are commiting sins. They are deeply influenced by the CCP evil culture which proclaims itself a God and decides what is good and what is wrong. It destroys the traditional culture, human moral values and the conscience of the people. Fortunately there are still some people whose consience was not destroyed and some of the people who escaped from China start to speak about the horrors openly to awaken the consience of others and to stop these atrocities.
