Australia: Sydney Citizens Urgently Request Prime Minister to Pay Attention to the CCP Live Organ Harvesting

On April 19th-20th, 2006, Sydney citizens held a two-day urgent appeal outside the Australian Prime Minister's Office. At the same time, over a dozen citizens held a one-day hunger strike to call on Prime Minister Howard to demand that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) allow the team of investigators from the "Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong in China" (CIPFG) to enter China and conduct a thorough and open investigation into all forced labour camps, prisons, mental hospitals and related facilities. They believe that every minute of delay might be at the cost of lives of more innocent Falun Gong practitioners.

Australian citizens participate in hunger strike appeal

On the morning of April 19th, a member of the first team of investigators from the CIPFG, reporter Linda Xu from the Australian Sound of Hope radio station, had her visa application to China rejected. Mr. Wang, who was among the appealers, said that the rejection to Linda Xu's visa application was expected, as the CCP is not willing to allow the independent media to investigate this matter thoroughly. The spokesperson for the CCP's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Qin Gang, only superficially claimed to welcome overseas media, but the media it welcomed were only allowed to enter the places where it had arranged. It knows that the CIPFG will immediately see through its deception.

Every Minute of Delay Allows the Murder to Continue

Susan and Carl, who are from The Epoch Times, also jointed the hunger strike appeal. They said that on March 9th, 2006, The Epoch Times had exposed the organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners in Sujiatun Concentration Camp, and hope that the international community can look into the matter. According to various investigative information now collected, hospitals and organ transplant centres in Mainland China are operating overtime to perform organ transplant surgeries. It appears that the CCP is hastily destroying the evidence of crimes. Therefore we urgently call upon Prime Minister Howard to demand that the CCP allow the team of investigators from the CIPFG to enter China to conduct a thorough investigation into all forced labour camps, mental hospitals and related facilities to help stop the killing and reveal the truth to the public. Every minute of delay may be at the cost of lives of more innocent Falun Gong practitioners.

Mr. Chen from the Service Centre for Quitting the CCP was also among the hunger strikers. He said that the CCP remained silent for three weeks after the revelation of the Sujiatun Concentration Camp, and then invited overseas media to go to investigate.

Support From the Australian People

An Australian man in his 60s passed by and saw the group of hunger strikers, and gave the thumbs-up and said that he took a flyer the day before and learned about the CCP's atrocities of harvesting organs for profit. He said, "I cried. My heart is bleeding, and in pain. The CCP has done all possible evil deeds, I'm also clear that the CCP is doomed. A new China is coming. I believe it."

A middle-aged Westerner was passing by when a practitioner handed him a flyer and asked that he sign his name to a petition. He said: "As soon as I learned about the CCP's live organ harvesting from the Falun Gong group, I got on the Internet to search for related information. I also signed my name on the Internet to call for an investigation from the international community. Additionally I wrote to Howard to ask him to pay attention to this appalling incident."

A young Australian woman learned about the truth and immediately asked for a bundle of flyers. She said she would give them to her colleagues and friends to let them know what is happening in China and how evil the CCP is, and let them sign the petition and mail to Prime Minister Howard.
