United States: Grand Parade in New York's Chinatown Supporting the Ten Million Withdrawals from the CCP, Calling for a Thorough Investigation into CCP's Forced Labour Camps

At noon on April 30th, 2006, Sunday, the sun was brilliant, and the sky was clear and blue. The Quit the CCP Service Centre and people from all walks of life held a grand parade in New York's Chinatown to support the ten million brave people who have quit the CCP. Participants also want to bring a stop to the CCP regime's use of forced labour camps, prisons, detention centres, hospitals and related facilities to carry out ruthless persecution of Falun Gong practitioners.

Rally to support quitting the CCP

People in the parade procession held a variety of banners, display boards and models of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party [An Epoch Times publication that discloses tha nature and history of the CCP. For an online view, click here]. They sent out a strong message to the people in Chinatown and people from all social strata: Heaven will eliminate the CCP, quitting the CCP is to protect one's own safety. The Celestial Band marching band displayed Falun Dafa's grandeur and wonder with a grand performance. A large truck that exposed the CCP's harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners in forced labour camps, prisons and hospitals shocked everyone. It exposed the genocidal killing of Falun Gong practitioners. Practitioners appeal to people from all walks of life to support and participate in the Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (CIPFG) to go to China to investigate CCP atrocities and help end the persecution.

Support quitting the CCP

1. The Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party

Huge banner reading, "Grand Parade Supporting Ten Million People Quitting the CCP" took the lead of the parade procession. The Celestial Band cleared the way. Right behind the band was a huge Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party book, followed by banners displaying the titles of each of the nine commentaries.

Dr. Li from the Service Centre to Quit the CCP said, "Since the publication of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party on November 19th, 2004, it inspired the first grand parade in New York's Chinatown in April 2005 supporting one million withdrawals from the CCP. Today one year later, we gathered again in New York's Chinatown, this time, we hold a grand parade to support ten million withdrawals from the CCP. The number of people who have renounced the CCP and its affiliated organisations has exceeded ten million one hundred thousand. The number is increased by 30 thousand daily. In Mainland China, a large number of people pasted their statements to withdraw from the CCP in public places."

2. Calling for support for a complete investigation

The second section of the parade procession exposed the CCP's crimes in the past 50 years, particularly displaying the CCP's seven-year brutal killing of innocent Falun Gong practitioners. Many people in the parade held display boards depicting various tortures used to torture and abuse Falun Gong practitioners, and banners demanding, "Bring Jiang Zemin, Luo Gan, Liu Jing and Zhou Yongkang to Justice." A mock live organ harvest was performed on a truck. Explanations in both English and Chinese was broadcast via a loudspeaker. People watched it quietly, shocked at the CCP's brutality and inhumanity.

Chairman of the CIPFG Mr. Zhao also participated in the parade. He explained that the live organ harvesting started late 2000, reached its peak from 2001 to 2003, and still goes on until now. Many forced labour camps, prisons, detention centres, hospitals (especially police hospitals and military system hospitals), and the extension of forced labour camps and prisons--secret concentration camps, all should be held accountable for this inhuman criminal act.

CIPFG plans to investigate every forced labour camp, prison, detention centre and hospital where Falun Gong practitioners have been incarcerated, with the concerted efforts of people from inside and outside China. The CIPFG is inviting people from all walks of life, human rights organisations, legal circles, government organisations to join in the investigation.

Mr. Wang Zhiyuan, representative from the World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG), pointed out that the volunteers of the WOIPFG have conducted investigations via making phone calls to big hospitals in Tianjin, Shanghai, Shandong, Hubei and Wuhan and other places. Recordings of doctors and staff in hospitals directly admitting that they used Falun Gong practitioners' organs for transplant operations are available. Some even said all organs for transplants are from Falun Gong practitioners. Such inhuman persecution must be immediately stopped.

3. Bid Farewell to Evil, Greet a New China without the CCP

At the end of the parade, people sang and danced, played waist drums, and played lion and dragon dances, symbolising people saying good-bye to the evil and greeting a new China without the CCP.

Falun Gong practitioner Dr. Wei expressed that the CCP is afraid of Falun Gong. It knows that it has committed monstrous crimes against Falun Gong in the past seven years, especially its harvesting of Falun Gong practitioners' organs for profit. Falun Gong practitioners have been persistently clarifying the truth over the past seven years. More and more people have learned about the truth, and seen clearly the CCP's evil nature, and dare to voice their concerns. Eyewitnesses stand up and speak out, righteous lawyers stand up and speak out, ten million brave people stand up and speak out to say good-bye to the vile CCP.

The great tide of quitting the CCP will become stronger and stronger. The chief perpetrators of persecuting Falun Gong, Jiang Zemin, Luo Gan and their accomplices will be held accountable for their crimes. Fortunate people will soon see a new era without the CCP.
