  2006-06-02

• EFGIC: Amidst the Evidence, Denying Sujiatun Organ Trafficking Must Not Stand

  2006-03-30
  The timing of the CCP’s denial is also suspicious. Why did the regime wait for over two weeks to deny Sujiatun? And why did the CCP, after years of known illicit organ trafficking but just weeks after Sujiatun was revealed, also today suddenly announce a new law against organ trafficking? We call for a thorough and real investigation, not a show tour, by independent international organisations, allowing a WOIPFG researcher immediate and unrestricted access to the entire area. Anything short of complete access is a cover up.

• EFGIC: Concentration Camp for Falun Gong Disclosed; Prisoners Killed for Organ Harvesting

  2006-03-10
  BRUSSELS (EFGIC) — Since the Nuremberg Trials came to a close in 1946, condemning the Nazi officials responsible for the holocaust, it has been the common hope of the people in the world that concentration camps like Auschwitz, Buchenwald and Dachau, would never again emerge in the history of mankind. The horrifying fact is that a similar facility is at this very moment in operation in China. The European Falun Gong Information Centre received shocking, detailed information on Wednesday from a Chinese Communist Party insider documenting a concentration camp set up in Shenyang city, Liaoning province, expressly for Falun Gong practitioners.

• EFGIC: Chinese Communist Show to Celebrate Torture on U.S. Stage?

  2006-01-14
  "This is a sort of sick victory song for the CCP. Captive Falun Gong practitioners are made to sing it under threat of violence. To not 'sing along' is to invite beatings with two-by-fours, shocks from electric batons, or force-feeding using faeces and sludge. Once a victim is completely broken, prison authorities 'celebrate' with a round of this 'Same Song.' For thousands it is a song of pain and despair, and it has no place in our communities," says FDI spokesperson Mr. Erping Zhang.
