Argentina: People From All Walks of Life Protest the CCP's Sujiatun Concentration Camp

On Friday, March 31st, 2006, people from all walks of life rallied in front of the Chinese Embassy in Buenos Aires, Argentina to protest against the atrocities at the Sujiatun Concentration Camp and the persecution of Falun Gong over the past seven years.

Falun Gong practitioners from all over Argentina, including Buenos Aires, Tucuman, Mendoza, Cordorba and the well-known harbor city of Rosario, joined practitioners from the U.S., Canada, Australia, and others from all walks of life unfurled banners in front of the Chinese Embassy to protest the shocking atrocities of harvesting living Falun Gong practitioners' organs and to call for the end of the persecution of millions of Falun Gong practitioners in China.

During the protest, representatives of Falun Gong practitioners rang the doorbell of the Chinese Embassy. They entered the open door of the courtyard, but when they were about to deliver the protest letter containing facts of the persecution, the employees of the Chinese Embassy refused to open the second door. They called two more employees to drive the practitioners out. When practitioners told them they had come to see the Ambassador, the embassy employee, who would not tell his name, said, "You know the embassy's attitude toward Falun Gong. There is no need to talk."

Falun Gong practitioners left the embassy and said to the embassy officials from across the street, "The embassy's attitude toward Falun Gong is probably the CCP's attitude. But we hope you, as individuals, will have the right attitude out of conscience. Quit the CCP and create a bright future for yourselves."

The Chinese Embassy asked the police to drive the protestors away. But after Falun Gong practitioners told the police about the persecution of Falun Gong in China, the police allowed them to continue their protest in front of the Chinese Embassy as well as across the street.

Having failed to drive the practitioners away, the Chinese Embassy began to pressure the Argentine Foreign Affairs Department to make them disperse the protestors. When the delegate arrived, he learned about the persecution from protestors and showed understanding. He not only ignored the pressure from the Chinese Embassy, but also planned to attend the Forum Discussion on China by the Epoch Times at the University of Buenos Aires that evening in order to learn more about Chinese society under the CCP.
