Finland: Falun Gong Practitioners were Invited to the Finnish Parliament to Explain the Facts about the Chinese Communist Regime’s Atrocities

On April 6th 2006, representatives of Finnish Falun Gong practitioners were invited to Parliament Building to have a talk with Mrs. Ulla Anttila, Chairperson of the Finnish Parliamentary Human Rights Group, Ms. Paula Moisander, Secretary for Parliamentary International Affairs, and Ms. Janine Hasenson, Head of the Human Rights Department, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on the topics regarding the atrocities that Falun Gong practitioners’ organs were harvested in China.

Dr. Li, a Falun Gong practitioner who works at the Helsinki University as a researcher, first detailed the inside story revealed by an informed Chinese journalist about the concentration camps in China. He explained the atrocities and said that since 2001, there have been over 6,000 Falun Gong practitioners confined in one camp for human organ trading and that their bodies were cremated to eliminate the evidence. Dr. Li especially stressed that the many concentration camps in China were established exclusively for the incarceration and killing of Falun Gong practitioners and that the real situation is far more serious than what has been reported by the media. This horrendous atrocity is only the tip of the iceberg of the Chinese Communist regime’s extinction campaign against Falun Gong in the past seven years or so. This incident has further proved the intrinsic evil nature of the Chinese Communist Party.

He added, “After hearing about the Chinese Communist regime’s atrocities, many Finns were shocked, and they hoped that the government can take action immediately. As the Chinese regime has the capability to employ its entire national propaganda machine to cover up the atrocities to deceive its people, it is necessary and urgent to set up an internationally independent investigation task force to conduct an impartial probe into all the forced labour camps and concentration camps incarcerating Falun Gong practitioners. We should learn from history of the Nazi atrocities and take action as soon as possible so as to put an end to the brutal killing and prevent history from being repeated.”

The parliamentarians on the scene took note of the information provided by the practitioners. Ms. Janine Hasenson said that the European Union has long been concerned about China’s human right issues, and she thought that the Chinese regime would surely negate the concentration camps incidents altogether, but it is imperative to bring up this issue openly. She also hoped that the Chinese people are able to break through the Chinese regime’s information blockade to realise the facts about this incident.

Dr. Li also mentioned that many Chinese people have come to understand the Chinese Communist regime’s evil nature and started to awaken, after reading the “Nine Commentaries on the CCP,” and that there has been more than nine million people publicly declaring their withdrawal from the CCP so far.

Another two practitioners, from different angles, explained the facts about the Chinese regime’s cruel persecution against Falun Gong practitioners. The talk lasted for one and a half hours. Before the meeting was ended, they agreed to keep in touch so as to communicate with each other if more information became available.
