  • An Open Letter to the Federal Chancellor Merkel from the German Falun Gong Association

    "It has been seven years since thousands of Falun Gong practitioners have died a violent death, as decreed by state sanctions. The investigative report on Falun Gong practitioners by the former Canadian Secretary of State, Parliamentary and State Attorney David Kilgour and the Canadian human rights lawyer David Matas shows clearly that living practitioners serve as organ donors that are held in an organ bank. This report shows clearly that Falun Gong practitioners are systematically murdered in China by unscrupulous Chinese officials."

    “Yes, I have already heard that people in China and in other places sell organs,” said a middle aged woman, who just finished reading with her girl friend the information about the organised organ removal and organ trade by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). “No,” responded a Falun Gong practitioner. “You must have understood it wrongly. These Falun Gong practitioners do not sell their organs out of their free will. They are being kept in special camps until their organs are taken from their living bodies and sold in the market. This absolutely is done involuntarily.”

    I hear often, “This is terrible, I will sign immediately. How can anyone do this terrible thing to other humans, just like during Hitler’s time! Something like this can’t be happening again.” Many people are deeply horrified and ask, “Why are they doing this to Falun Gong practitioners, especially since they only want to practice their spiritual belief?” The recognition of the irrationality of the inhuman persecution of peaceful people is imprinted on the face of these people.
