Czech Republic: Czech Practitioners Call for the Release of Arrested Falun Gong Practitioners in Chinese Concentration Camps

From the 20th to the 25th of May, 2006, Falun Gong practitioners from the Czech Republic staged a tour of north Moravia and Silesia to inform the Czech people about the continuous persecution of their fellow practitioners in China and about the atrocities of organ harvesting from living people. According to the latest information, the Chinese government founded thirty-six concentration camps where Falun Gong practitioners and other prisoners of conscience are having their organs harvested while they are still alive and their organs are then sold for transplants to rich foreigners.

Practitioners visited six cities, Opava, Ostrava, Karvina, Sumperk, Cesky Tesin and Koprivnice. Although it’s not hard to meet people who answer, “I know about it already", there are still many people who learned the truth for the first time and wonder with awe, “Is it possible, that such things are done by people?” asked a young man in Sumperk after reading information about organ harvesting atrocities. It remains to be asked, whether the degenerated beings who are personally involved in these things and do them consciously and voluntarily, are still humans.

Voices of support could be heard from all the visited cities. Practitioners prepared a petition calling on the President and Premier of the Czech Republic to appeal to the Chinese officials and ask for an investigation of these crimes. “This must be signed by every good person", said a woman in Karvina and called upon the passers-by to sign the petition. The total number of people signing during these tours reached one thousand.

Practitioners also met with the Czech Deputy in the European Parliament, Mr. Vladimir Zelezny, after his public speech in Sumperk. He said he knew about the situation very well through the information which was sent to him to the European Parliament. Without hesitation he signed the petition for rescuing Falun Gong practitioners in China.

There are still many people who do not know about the cruelty of communism which wants to “fight with Heaven and Earth” and “order wind and rain.” However, when a human being accepts the traditional values of truthfulness, compassion and forbearance into his life, he can live a life full of joy and goodness. We would like to thank all the compassionate people for their support of basic human values.
