Inner-West Weekly (Australia): Horrific trade in organs
GRAVE concerns are held for falun gong practitioners imprisoned in China and at risk of being executed for their organs.
GRAVE concerns are held for falun gong practitioners imprisoned in China and at risk of being executed for their organs.
“It is an ethical problem. When it is run by the state it becomes like ‘the ultimate tax.’ Once dead, the body is not yours to give but the states to decide.” “Our concern is that tens of thousands of Falun Gong practitioners are being kept there as organ banks.”
The second steering committee meeting of the Council of Europe in 2006 was held in Strasbourg from April 10th to 13th. 11 representatives of the COE raised a motion to ask for a hearing on the case which was recently exposed to the public regarding the CCP crimes of organ-harvesting from live Falun Gong practitioners.
On the issue of gathering evidence, I can disclose an outline of the government’s process that I had encountered, in the hopes that relevant organizations can learn tips from it. Due to safety reasons, I still cannot disclose the entire process. Here I will describe parts of the process.
Witness Annie said, “It is agonizing to recall the past. The organs removed from a living human being fetch a much higher price than from a dead body. After the live organ removal, some Falun Gong practitioners were still alive and breathing, but some of their bodies were directly thrown into the crematory oven. No trace of their bodies is left. Some families had no idea the organs had been removed.
Today, it is time to fulfill the vow of “Never Again,” made 60 years ago! Almost seven years have past since the persecution of Falun Gong began, and while we hesitate in cold, cowardly silence, millions of Falun Dafa practitioners are being murdered for keeping their faith in the human conscience.
The Washington Times in the US and The New Paper in Singapore recently published a Chinese reporter’s testimony one after another. He revealed that a few years ago when he was investigating the situation of SARS, he discovered that several thousand Falun Gong practitioners were imprisoned at the Liaoning Provincial Thrombosis Hospital of Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine, and their organs were being harvested for sale.
A great deal of evidence indicates that the China International Transplantation Network Assistance Center (CITNAC), located in Shenyang City, is closely connected to the organ translplant atrocities at Sujiatun. Recently, we made a discovery. Internet archives reveal that the Chinese web page that the center used in 2003, and its updated web page in 2005, was removed immediately after the Sujiatun massacre came to light.
Undercover investigators disclosed today that, in response to public exposure, officials in China have now begun a massive, deadly campaign to destroy evidence of concentration camps holding practitioners of Falun Gong; at the camps, the Falun Gong are killed after having their organs extracted for sale.
Everyone Should Help Stop These State-sponsored Crimes. Sixty years ago, fewer Jewish people would have been killed if more people had stepped forward in the name of justice and courage. At least, the extent of persecution would have not been that extensive. Our efforts today become so significant to those whose lives are in danger.
