United States: Efforts to Expose the Atrocities of the CCP Continue in New York City

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. [Editors note: Recent reports from the Sujiatun concentration camp have revealed that all Falun Gong practitioners detained there have been moved. This occurred after the CCP experienced pressure from international governments and media.]

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.

At the same time, at Grand Central subway station, practitioners have been displaying an exhibition titled "Help Stop the Chinese Communist Regime's New Massacre" daily. Many people have shown their support, and encouraged practitioners to persist. Some people criticised the silence of mainstream media and pointed out that the media would in the future 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 practitioners at the camp has been transferred to unknown location(s). Meanwhile, some hospitals and organ transplantation centres 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 1st, 2006, allowing enough time to destroy all evidence of their illegal organ harvesting crimes.

All investigation has confirmed that hospitals and transplant centres 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 have even told an undercover investigator that patients should come in quickly if they want a transplant, as they can find matching organs in as short as one or two days and that it will be difficult to have a transplant 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 specialise 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 of destroying the bodily remains after the organ-harvesting, to eliminate the evidence. The WOIPFG thus believes that the slaughter of Falun Gong practitioners detained in the camps is taking place at an massively high rate!

The Communist regime has been persecuting Falun Gong for nearly seven years. The exposing of the concentration camps is only the tip of the iceberg - many other forms of persecution have occurred since the persecution began such as torture, sleep deprivation, sexual assault and murder. To obtain up-to-date facts on the persecution and to stop these crimes as soon as possible, "The Integrated Committee to Investigate the Secret Sujiatun Concentration Camp and the Facts of the Persecution of Falun Gong in China" was established on April 4th, 2006. The committee will conduct a thorough investigation of the crimes of the Chinese Communist regime committed in the persecution of Falun Gong.

We hope that everyone will take action to help us end the ongoing slaughter.
