The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) had a series
of meetings in Australia this year. After last month's meeting in Canberra,
a minister-level meeting on minerals was held in Perth, Western Australia on February
12-16.

Practitioners call attention to China's human rights
persecution

Beginning on the first day of the conference, Falun Gong practitioners held
large banners in front of the entrance, calling on all APEC countries to join
the investigation of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) atrocities of live organ
removal.

Some conference participants said the allegations were inconceivable after
accepting the flyers, but that the CCP could commit such deeds. A lady from
Canada told a practitioner that she read the investigation report by Mr. Kilgour
and Mr. Matas, and that the persecution of Falun Gong caught wide attention in
Canada. She took more flyers for other meeting participants.

Ms. Louise Pratt, Senator from West Australia, and chairman of Standing
Committee for Environment and Public Affairs, specially went to the petition
venue to support the practitioners. She said that the continuous efforts of
practitioners were admired. She called on other government officials to pay
attention to CCP's trampling of human rights.

As of February 12, 2007, the Coalition of the Investigation of the
Persecution of Falun Gong (CIPFG) has completed primary organization on four
continents. Four delegations, Australia, Asia, Europe and North America, are
established.

So far the total members of the investigation delegations are 301 people.
They are figures from different circles who are concerned about Falun Gong human
rights. They include political leaders at national and federal levels,
government officials of provinces, religious and community leaders, experts and
doctors on organ transplantation, international human rights lawyers and
criminal case lawyers, leaders of non-governmental organizations, international
media and human rights activists.
