European Media Reports that European Union Should Adjust the Unbalanced Relationship with Communist China
2006-08-14A report in the “European Voice” said that the excessively weak stand of the European Union in free trade against China is very disappointing. The report also pointed out that the same situation happened in the human rights issues too. Not only is the dialogue between China and the European Union weak, but so is it between China and the fifteen European countries (including Norway and Switzerland). China has greatly enhanced its defense ability in international negotiation; however, in fact its human right situation has not truly improved. The recent incident of a large number of Falun Gong practitioners being forced to “donate” organs is an obvious example. -

Report from De Morgen (Belgium): ‘Falun Gong followers are being killed for their organs’
2006-07-24That the Falun Gong movement, under persecution in China since July 1999, is subject to virulent repression is nothing new. Hundreds of thousands of people have disappeared within the past few years for a long time, thrown into labour camps, in many cases without any form of trial, but via the convenience of ‘administrative detention’, which approves this kind of deprivation of freedom ... The allegations the two Canadians have formulated in their new report even goes a step further. According to them, Falun Gong followers are being killed only for their organs, and are then being cremated. -

"The condition of prisoners in China is increasingly well known but it is only in recent months that a particular mistreatment of Falun Gong practitioners has come to light, namely the selection of prisoners for 'reverse-match' organ and tissue transplants, leading to their deaths.

Report in German Newspaper Buersche Zeitung: "More and more people practice Falun Gong"
2006-07-17“The means of brainwashing in Shanghai labour camp is very sly. They don’t beat people. The guards are kind and friendly to Falun Gong practitioners on the surface. But every Falun Gong practitioner is arranged to stay alone in a squadron of prisoners. A dozen prisoners watch one practitioner day and night. They never punish Falun Gong practitioners but punish the watchers. If practitioners do not give up their belief, the labour camp does not let them do their chores of daily life, but let the watchers do it for them". -
