Czech Republic: Seminar on Human Rights in China

On May 24th, 2006, a seminar on human rights in China took place in the Municipal Library in Prague. A Czech reporter for the Epoch Times newspaper presented a book, which has shocked the Chinese nation: The Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party. Due to this book, the Chinese people started to talk openly about such themes as human rights and freedom of belief, but also the nature of the communist party. Up to this date, millions of Chinese people have declared their withdrawal from the Chinese Communist Party and the number has been quickly increasing each day. The audience listened with awe about how the people in China got this information and how they withdrew from the Party.

Visitors could also learn the truth about the brutal persecution lead by the communist party against a peaceful spiritual practice called Falun Gong. This practice, which was originally highly supported by the Party for its health and moral benefits, became a “class enemy” after a government secret survey which discovered that the number of the Chinese people practising Falun Gong reached a hundred million. Since 1999, the people practising Falun Gong have been fired from their jobs and detained in forced labour camps and concentration camps where they are inhumanly tortured. According to witnesses who decided to talk openly to the public and gave interviews to the Epoch Times newspaper, in these camps, the organs from living practitioners are being harvested for transplants. Practitioners are then thrown directly into the incinerator to cover all the evidence. All the detained people are marked with numbers, just as the Jews in the Nazi concentration camps.

The seminar was followed by a lively discussion. One of the leaders of the anti-communist campaign in the Czech Republic, the independent journalist Jan Sinagl spoke about four hundred Czech labour camps which were operating during the forty year rule of the Czechoslovak Communist Party.

Many of the visitors were visibly shocked by the brutality of the communist regime and two women asked the organisers for flyers informing them about the concentration camps in China, so they could distribute them to their relatives and friends and to some colleges. After the seminar the attendants said spontaneously, “There has to be more seminars like this one!”
