Ireland: Practitioners Condemn the Chinese Communist Regime’s Persecution

On August 16th, 2008, Irish Falun Gong practitioners rallied at the GPO in Dublin to condemn the Chinese Communist regime’s escalation of the persecution against Falun Gong under the pretext of hosting the Olympics. They also called on international society to be concerned about the persecution of Falun Gong in China while holding the Olympic Games.

Regardless of the heavy rain, practitioners unfurled banners reading “Falun Gong is good,” “Stop the persecution of Falun Gong in China,” “Condemn the CCP’s escalation of the Persecution of Falun Gong before the Olympics” to urge the people around the world to pay attention to the on-going persecution in China. At the rally, Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Wang read an urgent notice made by the Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong. She said, “From the end of last December to June 30th this year, 8,037 Falun Gong practitioners have been illegally arrested across China. The numbers of confirmed and documented cases of Falun Gong practitioners being persecuted to death steadily increased. Tens of thousands of Falun Gong practitioners are still illegally incarcerated in prisons, tortured in forced labour camps, concentration camps or mental hospitals.”

She added, “Not only is the persecution of Falun Gong group escalated, but the suppression of Chinese petitioners, civil rights defenders and Cadres have also intensified. The Chinese regime’s escalation of its persecution against Chinese people with the excuse of hosting the Olympics has become the most serious human right disaster in history.”

“On July 10th, 2008, the Beijing Committee for Comprehensive Management of Public Security and the Beijing Public Security Bureau issued a notice to offer an award up to 500,000 Yuan for tip-offs about the security of the Olympics, and the only organisation included was Falun Gong.”

Zhao Ming, a Falun Gong practitioner who had been illegally incarcerated by the Chinese regime, said, “On August 3rd, the Falun Gong Information Centre publicized sixteen cases regarding the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in Beijing and offered an online map for international reporters in Beijing to conduct an on-site investigation into these cases in prisons or forced labour camps where practitioners were incarcerated. However, after the publication of the information, the regime secretly transferred a large number of Falun Gong practitioners to other places. Furthermore, it arranged for the prisoners who have been brain-washed and those who were willing to speak up for the Communist regime to deceive international reporters.”

A passerby said in an interview, “All those who really love China should know that the Chinese regime has spent over 400 billion Yuan of the Chinese people’s hard earned money to host the Olympic Games simply for the enhancement of the regime’s reputation and try to let the international society recognise the regime that has long been notorious for persecuting human rights. However, taking a closer look at the situation of China’s education, social welfare, medical care and the society as a whole. How many civilians are still struggling in poverty? Given that, the Chinese regime are not really concerned about its people whatsoever. Those who have read the “Nine Commentaries on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)” would know that the CCP has killed over 80 million people. What’s even worse is that it harvested organs from living Falun Gong practitioners for profit, and it has becomes a good business. In reality, the Chinese Communist regime is a killing gang. Currently civil right defending has gained its momentum. All the crimes the Chinese regime has committed are subject to Chinese people’s opposition and sentence.”
