Various of children in makeshift jail with men posing as Chinese soldiers STORYLINE: As Chinese President Hu Jintao continued his visit to Australia on Thursday, about 500 supporters of the Falun Gong spiritual group held a rally in Sydney, urging the world to pay attention to what it claims is China's abuse of its followers. Members of the Falun Gong - which is banned in China as an evil cult - performed a play highlighting the plight of its members. Falun Gong claim its members are arrested, often tortured, have their organs harvested and are sometimes murdered in captivity. They say that pregnant women and young children are treated with callous disregard for their condition. "Falun Gong practitioners, they have been organ harvested, and like the kids labours, and women labours - like slaves," said Sheng Xue, a Falun Gong members at Thursday's rally. "And the Western countries leaders must pay attention to those (them), because it is part of the world, it is not something, they can avoid," she added. Falun Gong supporters at the rally held banners and signs highlighting China's "crimes against humanity" and calling for and end to "the Chinese imperialist regime." The Chinese government routinely says Falun Gong members are trying to sow division in society and ultimately want to overthrow the regime. Australia is home to many different groups that have emigrated to the island-continent and the demonstration was also attended by Uighurs from the Muslim west of China, and Tibetans as well as the Falun Gong members. Leaders of the Pacific Rim nations are in Sydney for the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit and security around the city has been tight as Australian officials took unusual lengths to make sure leaders were not bothered by protests. When police asked them not to march to Hyde Park they argued and were eventually given permission although the obeyed police directions not to disturb traffic. Falun Gong is also known as Falun Dafa.

Human Harvest - Illegal Organ Trade in China
How does a country which, until 2010 didn’t even have an organ donation system, become the place where everyone goes to get organs not available elsewhere? For years, China claimed that these organs came from executed prisoners. But when experts compared the number transplants carried out with the number of people executed, they found a large discrepancy. Yet China remains the only place in the world where you can get a heart and lung transplant in less than a week. So where are all these organs coming from? In this award winning documentary, Nobel Peace Prize nominees David Matas and David Kilgour reveal how most of these organs come from Falun Gong practitioners, killed to order. They speak to doctors forced to remove organs from live political prisoners, to former prisoners of conscience, subjected to repeated blood tests, and to hospital clinics, who readily admit to having no problem obtaining ’live’ organ donors. An eye-opening investigation into the organ harvesting trade in China.

The CIPFG also invited international organizations and governments to join this independent investigative organization to work together to conduct a truly thorough investigation into the CCP's crimes.

July 20 Falun Gong Globally Commemorates Anti-Persecution: Live Organ Harvesting.
Follow us on TWITTER: http://twitter.com/cnforbiddennews Like us on FACEBOOK: http://www.facebook.com/chinaforbidde... On July 20, 1999, Jiang Zemin, the former party head, started the cruel persecution of Falun Gong, regardless of opposition from all walks of life. This has caused death and disability to innumerable Falun Gong practitioners, and countless families to fall apart. In order to stop the persecution, every year around July 20, Falun Gong practitioners from many countries globally commemorate those who were persecuted to death via gatherings, parades or candlelight vigils. Meanwhile, they tell the world the truth about Falun Gong, which has been covered up by the party. 　 It＇s been 15 years since the party started the persecution of Falun Gong. Every year practitioners from all over the world hold various anti-persecution activities around July 20. The scenesof activity are grand, magnificent and solemn, which attract the eyes of many passersby and tourists. 　 Among the activities, the candlelight vigil remembering those Falun Gong practitioners who have been persecuted to death by the party is most touching. What＇s heart-breaking is that the portraits of those who have been persecuted to death are held by their own family members. 　 Jiang Hong, whose father＇s organs were taken in the persecution: ＂In my hands is my father＇s photo. My father was persecuted in Chongqing Xisanping Labor Camp. After he was kept in a freezer for 7 hours, his body was still warm. When we saw him, his body was black and blue, covered with wounds. Then his body was mandatorily cremated. Zhou Bolin, Deputy Director of Chongqing city's Prison, said my father＇s organs were made into specimens. They were taken while he was still alive. My mother was sentenced. I will tell the whole world all these evil doings that the party has committed. ＂ 　 Among the portraits of those who were persecuted to death, there are some younger faces. Xu Dawei, Falun Gong Practitioner of Wushu Qingyuan County, was sentenced to 8 years in prison. When he was persecuted to death after being brutally tortured in 4 prisons, he was only 34 years old. Chi Lihua, whose husband has been tortured to death, ＂My husband Xu Dawei was persecuted for 8 years in 4 prisons. He suffered all kinds of cruel tortures. In 2009, he was released from Dongling prison, where he was persecuted until mentally disturbed. Sometimes his mind was clear and sometimes muddled. His body was covered with the scars from electronic shocks. When his mind was clear, he told me the prison injected drugs into his body which destroyed his nervous system. 13 days after he was released from prison, he passed away." 　 Besides the conventional cruel body tortures and extremely vicious live organ harvesting, the party persecute young female Falun Gong practitioners with sexual assaults and sexual abuse. Especially, in October 2000, in Liaoning Masanjia Labor Camp, 18 female Falun Gong practitioners were stripped naked and thrown into the cells with criminal male prisoners. The Falun Gong practitioners were left being freely raped. Among them, 5 died, 7 were left mentally disturbed, and the rest were disabled. 　 Nonetheless, similar evils go on and on in the party＇s labor camps and prisons. 　 Yin Liping, one of the practitioners who was sexually assaulted, ＂On April 19, 2001, our 9 female Falun Gong practitioners, who were not ＂transformed", were secretly sent to a male prison by Masanjia Labor Camp. Over there, were about 30 or so unidentified men. At night each of our 9 female Falun Gong practitioners were allocated into a single room. When night came, these men knocked me out and then sexually assaulted me collectively. They also videoed the whole process. ＂ 　。 After being sexually assaulted by a group, Yin Liping, 46 years old, decided not to remain silent any longer after enduring many years of great pain. She bravely stood up and disclosed this atrocity that is far beyond the moral bottom line for human beings. Sadly, her good friend, Falun Gong practitioner Zou Guirong, has already left the world forever without seeing this day. 　 Yin Liping: ＂Zou Guirong, was one of the 9 female Falun Gong practitioners. On that night, she cried, 'Liping, Liping, Masanjia threw us from the frying pan into the fire. This government is a hooligan＇. On April 20, Zou Guirong was tortured to death by the party. ＂ 　 For every single Falun Gong practitioner persecuted to death, there was a period of history full of tears and blood.

China Transplant Crime - Former Canadian Secretary of State David Kilgour - State Organs | Trailer
LEARN MORE: https://faluninfo.net/forced-organ-ha... WATCH THE FULL INTERVIEW: https://tv.faluninfo.net/david-kilgou... Former Canadian Secretary of State David Kilgour asserts the Chinese government's responsibility for forced organ harvesting from Falun Gong detainees in China. In this video he explains, “State Organs is certainly an accurate title for what happens to organ pillaging in China. It’s done by the state. For the state. To the benefit of participants. And the secondary goal in it…is to get rid of so-called ‘enemies of the party’, the Falun Gong practitioners.” Allegations of mass murder of Falun Gong practitioners for organs have been made since 2006. With every year that has passed since — and in particular over the last few years — more evidence has emerged supporting the allegations. The methodologies used to analyze the mass of evidence have become more robust, and concerns have become increasingly mainstream. Meanwhile, the position of the Chinese regime and its defenders, who seek to deny the claims, has become increasingly untenable.

The Persecution of Falun Gong (Why is Falun Gong Persecuted in China?)
An award-winning documentary about why 70 million meditators were targeted for elimination in China. For more information visit https://faluninfo.net/why-persecution/ (c) Copyright Swoop Films 2016 www.swoopfilms.com WHY IS FALUN GONG PERSECUTED IN CHINA? During the 1990s, #FalunGong was widely recognized as uplifting public health and morality through its teachings of truthfulness, compassion and forbearance. So why did the #Chinese Communist Party launch a campaign to eradicate it, sending hundreds of thousands of law-abiding citizens into labor camps to face torture and death? POPULARITY AND INDEPENDENCE In 1998, a Chinese government survey showed that there were more people practicing Falun Gong than there were members of the Chinese Communist Party. With 70 to 100 million practitioners, Falun Gong was arguably the largest independent group in the history of the People’s Republic of #China. The Communist Party seeks to control all volunteer organizations, #religions, media, and educational institutions in China. It suppresses those that don’t submit to its control, including Falun Gong. A DICTATOR’S PERSONAL JEALOUSY The decision to persecute Falun Gong was made almost unilaterally by Communist Party chairman Jiang Zemin. Other members of the leadership favored a more conciliatory approach, recognizing that Falun Gong was peaceful and did not have a political agenda. Jiang Zemin’s opposition towards Falun Gong was deeply personal, stemming from his jealousy over the practice’s popularity. He also reportedly believed that by launching a Cultural Revolution-style campaign against Falun Gong, he could consolidate his power. INCOMPATIBILITY WITH MARXIST IDEALS In spite of China’s turning to a market-economy in recent decades, the atheist Communist Party still clings to Marxist ideology. Some Party leaders saw Falun Gong, with its belief in the existence of Buddhas, Daos, and Gods, and its conviction that anyone can reach a divine realm through self-refinement, as challenging the ideology that the Party is the highest authority. COMMUNIST PARTY’S HISTORY OF PERSECUTION Throughout its more than 60 years in power, the Communist Party has repeatedly launched political campaigns that suppress freedom of thought and force Chinese people to declare their allegiance to the Party. In 1999, Falun Gong became its latest target. Torture survivor Zhao Ming explained it as: “The Party’s machinery of persecution was there—Jiang pushed the button.” For more information visit https://faluninfo.net/why-persecution/

How do you get over a billion people to believe a lie that they know is a lie? And if they don’t really believe the lie… How do you strike such fear into them that they become so petrified, they wont question it or even speak about it…? That’s the exact question the propaganda department of the Chinese communist party was trying to answer about Falun Gong in the summer of 1999, and their conclusion unleashed a brutal persecution affecting tens of millions of people.

Practitioners of Falun Gong Call for End to Persecution on Human Rights Day | NTDTV
In honor of International Human Rights Day, people practicing the spiritual faith Falun Dafa held a rally in Hong Kong on Dec. 8. They’re drawing attention to a campaign of hatred that has lasted over 20 years: the Chinese Communist Party’s brutal persecution of their meditation practice. Hundreds gathered at Edinburgh Place in Central, Hong Kong, to observe Human Rights Day and expose the persecution in China of the spiritual practice Falun Gong, particularly the practice of forced organ harvesting. Kan Hung-cheung, the chairman of the Hong Kong Association of Falun Dafa, said that now more people have come to realize the evilness of the Chinese Communist Party, or CCP, since the Hong Kong government began to suppress the protesters. “In the last few months of you know, the—under so much suppression and persecution by the CCP to the Hong Kong people—many, many people will be become—they are very clear about the evilness of the CCP,” Kan said. Several members from the Legislative Council of Hong Kong spoke at the rally. Wu Chi-wai, Chairman of the Democratic Party and member of the Legislative Council, praised practitioners for their persistence and peaceful manner in the face of the harsh persecution. “I also admire Falun Gong practitioners’ courage to safeguard their belief. They have faced the same situation and they have perseverance on this since 2000. Because of this, many practitioners sacrificed their [lives] for freedom,” Wu said. Wu said that freedom of belief and freedom of speech belong to everyone.

Coalition Roundtable on Organ Harvesting by the CCP
The issue of China’s transplant practices first came to light through a whistleblower in March 2006. In response, David Kilgour and David Matas launched an independent investigation. Investigative journalist Ethan Gutmann later spent seven years doing his own research. He reached similar conclusions. In 2016, the three investigators joined forces, evaluating primary source research about the activities of hundreds of transplant hospitals around China. Drawing on media reports, official statements, medical journals, hospital websites, and web archives, their findings show that China’s transplant industry became among the most prolific in the world in just a few years, despite the lack of any organ donation system. Victims & Numbers | The dark secret of China’s transplant industry is that another source entirely has been used: non-consenting prisoners of conscience. Those targeted include prisoners of conscience as far back as the 1970s, then Uyghurs, a Turkic, Muslim people residing in the northwest region of Xinjiang during the 1990s, and over the years that follow, some anecdotal evidence indicates, Tibetans and House Christians in captivity were also used. But by far the largest group to be targeted for organ harvesting is Falun Gong. The serious, large-scale development of China’s transplantation system coincided with the Communist Party’s campaign to wipe out Falun Gong. Suppression by the Chinese Communist Party | The relationship between the Communist Party and the state is unlike anything we see in democratic countries. In democratic states, those in government rule. In China, it is the Party that rules. State functionaries are puppets. It is the Party which pulls the strings. Because the Party rules the state, the state organs do not control the Party. That is true of the legal as well as the political system. The Party is above the law, because the Party tells the legal system what to do. The Party does not need the law or the courts to engage in repression. It uses the police and the prisons without any law which supports their activity. Legislation & Advocacy | Laws are being passed to criminalize the purchase of trafficked organs at home or abroad. The Coalition continues to call on Governments to enact measures including mandatory reporting of ‘organ tourism’, a ban on entry of individuals involved in trafficking organs, and prohibition of pharmaceutical companies participation in transplant field tests and clinical trials in China. We encourage you to connect with other academics, lawyers, ethicists, medical professionals and human rights advocates to participate in a variety of initiatives to end forced organ harvesting in China.

US House Resolution Would Highlight Transplant Abuse in China
The US should lead by example and help stop abusive transplant practices in China—that's the message from a recent forum in Washington DC. Doctors from a medical advocacy group want US lawmakers to adopt House Resolution 281. Among other things, it would press the Chinese regime to immediately end its practice of harvesting organs from prisoners of conscience. [Dr. Damon Noto, Doctors against Forced Organ Harvesting] "Probably in the past 13 years, the transplant community became very alarmed about what was going on in China." Alarmed, because independent investigators estimate tens of thousands of persecuted Falun Gong practitioners have been killed, their organs removed and sold to domestic and overseas patients. Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa, is a Chinese spiritual discipline. Since 1999, its adherents have been subjected to extensive persecution by the Chinese regime. In 2006, allegations surfaced that military hospitals were killing them for their organs. [Dr. Mai He, Executive Director, Doctors Against Forced Organ Harvesting] "Time-wise, the increase in number of organ transplant in China actually paralleled with the persecution." In June, Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.) and Representative. Robert Andrews (D-N.J.) introduced House Resolution 281 in the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. [Dr. Damon Noto, Spokesman, Doctors against Forced Organ Harvesting] "When the US Congress makes a motion, makes a resolution, it makes it easier for other organizations, medical organizations, countries, states, to enact their own regulations and laws. A lot of the time they follow suit, they see what the US is doing, and then they move. If we can get this moving, it can actually impact, globally, many things. Guest speaker at the forum, Levi Browde, says the effects would even reach into China. [Levi Browde, Executive Director, Falun Dafa Information Center] "Inside China, we've seen resolutions like this where people literally are persecutors, in prison camps, police officers, see that the United States Congress is stating things so explicitly, it'll give them real pause to do what they're doing." House Resolution 281 would be the first in the US to press the Chinese regime to end forced organ harvesting. It also wants Congress to warn US citizens that if they go to China for an organ, it may have come from a prisoner of conscience. Once the Resolution gets enough co-sponsors, it can be introduced to the House floor for voting.
