World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG) announced on March 10 that it was launching a thorough investigation of those suspected to be involved in the persecution and murder of practitioners at Sujiatun Concentration Camp.
The statement said that according to informants and initial verification, the Chinese Communist Party regime set up a secret concentration camp in the Sujiatun district of Shenyang city. The camp is suspected to specialize in detaining and killing practitioners to harvest their bodily organs for profit. The camp has a crematory and corpses are cremated at the camp. Reportedly, several thousand practitioners have been transferred to the camp from other regions. They are being detained in the camp and face slaughter at any time so their organs can be harvested for profit.
The announcement encourages all people with information to please come forward and provide names of: individuals who planned and carried out orders to set up the concentration camp; individuals from political and legal system and police officers who were involved in the arrest, transfer and murder of practitioners; medical staff involved in the harvest and sale of practitioners' organs; individuals involved in cremating practitioners' bodies, and other staff at the camp. To protect informants who provide us important evidence, WOIPFG will help them to leave China and obtain asylum status. For practitioners who have disappeared after being arrested, their family members are asked to take immediate action to demand to know the whereabouts of their loved ones from the Chinese Communist regime.
To all those who have participated in the crimes, the announcement stated, "No matter where they try to hide, they will surely be brought to justice no matter how long it takes.
When the appalling news about the
secret Sujiatun Concentration Camp, built by the CCP for eradicating
Falun Gong
practitioners, was exposed and people from all walks of life inside and
outside
China were shocked and enraged, a group of Hong Kong Falun Gong
practitioners marched
to the front gate of the Chinese Liaison Office on March 10, 2006 to
strongly
protest the CCP's barbaric practice of killing Falun Gong practitioners
and removing
their internal organs for sale. They also called upon the international
community to conduct an independent investigation and stop the CCP from
killing
and persecuting Falun Gong practitioners.
Dozens of Falun Gong practitioners peacefully sat
outside
the Chinese Liaison Office on March 10, 2006. At 2:00 p.m.,
practitioners
paraded from their protest site to the front gate of the Chinese
Liaison Office
to read a statement. They pointed out that the CCP's barbarity in
building the
secret Sujiatun Concentration Camp to persecute Falun Gong
practitioners has gone
beyond people's imagination. It indicates that the CCP has
systematically employed
a large-scale, three-step procedure in its persecution of Falun
Gong--killing
them, making a profit on their organs, and cremating them to eliminate
the evidence.
In the 21st century, the CCP is using the same brutal means
that the
Nazis used against the Jews to persecute the peaceful and kind Falun
Gong
practitioners. It is so inhuman and barbaric. If such crimes go
unpunished, civilization
will no longer exist. An editor of the English Epoch Times newspaper
who is
visiting Hong Kong, Stephen Gregory, said in his speech that Sujiatun
is a symbol
of barbarity. From today on, we clearly know that this is a battle
between
civilization and barbarity.
Falun Gong practitioners called upon the international
community to make an independent investigation into this concentration
camp,
and stop the killing and persecution. They expressed that the exposure
of the
crematorium indicates that all of the inhuman means the CCP has used to
persecute Falun Gong will sooner or later be exposed by insiders with a
sense
of justice. The more frenzied the CCP's persecution is, the more
opposition it will
incur from people with a sense of justice, and the faster it
accelerates its
demise. Zhou Sheng, who earlier had a false charge brought against her
by the Hong
Kong government at the behest of the CCP, expressed that the CCP is
afraid of
having its dirty things exposed. The CCP's high-ranking officials
especially
fear being sued overseas. Many people are working inside the CCP system
only as
a means of survival. She believes that those people with a conscience
and
courage will provide more and more evidence.
Some Falun Gong practitioners continued their protest
hunger strike outside the Chinese Liaison Office until 9:00 a.m. the
next
morning.
On the afternoon of March 11, 2006,
nearly 200 Falun Gong practitioners from the New York Metropolitan Area
and other
supporters rallied in front of the Chinese Consulate. They strongly
condemned
the Chinese Communist regime's barbaric crimes of building a Nazi-style
concentration camp in Sujiatun where they secretly and illegally detain
and
kill Falun Gong practitioners, remove their internal organs for profit
and
cremate their bodies to eliminate the evidence of their crimes.
Denounce CCP's
atrocities, and call for rescuing family members who are missing as a
result of
the persecution
Falun Gong practitioner Dr. Huang Wanqing denounced the CCP's barbaric crimes at the rally, and called for help to rescue his younger brother Huang Xiong, who has been missing for three years. Huang Xiong began practicing Falun Gong in 1996. After the CCP started the persecution in 1999, Huang Xiong was illegally sentenced to forced labor for persisting in his practice of Falun Gong and later he became homeless to avoid persecution. The police searched for him everywhere to try to arrest him. His last phone call with Dr. Huang Wanqing was in April 2003 from Shanghai. He disappeared on April 19, and his whereabouts have been unknown ever since. Huang Xiong's relatives in the US and inside China have been looking for him and are worried very much about his safety. An officer from the Shanghai police once said that they knew about Huang Xiong's situation but could not tell others.
Falun Gong practitioner Hu Zhihua also called upon
people
from all walks of life to show concern for his younger brother Hu
Zhiming's
whereabouts. In 1998, Hu Zhiming was promoted to be deputy director for
the
Computer Department of Beijing Air Force Military Training Equipment.
He had the
military rank of squadron leader. He had received many awards. In 1999,
the
persecution of Falun Gong in the military system began. Hu Zhiming left
home
and became homeless in order to avoid the persecution. In October 2001,
the family
was informed that Hu Zhiming had been sentenced to four years in
prison.
Shortly after being released from prison in September 2005, he was once
again
arrested by Beijing police and national security officers who also
ransacked
his home. He has been missing since then, and his whereabouts are
unknown.
Hu Zhihua said that the CCP is extremely evil. The
atrocities and terror of the secret concentration camp in Sujiatun make
him
worry very much about his younger brother's safety, but this is nothing
but the
CCP's last gasp before its demise. He called upon all righteous people
to join
together to expose the atrocities of the CCP and disintegrate it as
soon as
possible.
Calling upon the
international community to pay close attention and stop the CCP from
killing
Falun Gong practitioners to eliminate its crimes
Representative of the Global Committee to Rescue Falun
Gong
Practitioners Mr. Zhu Hanru made a speech and pointed out that the
atrocity of
the secret concentration camp in Sujiatun is an extension of the
Jiang's
regime's state-terrorist policy against innocent Falun Gong
practitioners that
was established in the early stage of the persecution: "defame their
reputation, bankrupt them financially and destroy them physically." It
is the CCP's
policy to secretly commit genocide and destroy the evidence before its
demise.
During the process, these Falun Gong practitioners may also have been
used for
various experiments, and after their internal organs were removed, they
would
be cremated. He called upon the international community to pay close
attention
and stop the CCP's barbaric killing.
Falun Gong practitioner Yi Rong stated that overseas
Falun Gong practitioners have exposed the CCP's appalling atrocities to
different social strata, and called upon the international community to
conduct
an investigation immediately. They are also calling upon all
kind-hearted
people to show concern and provide information.
A representative for the World Organization to
Investigate
the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG), Liang Yufeng, stated that
WOIPFG
published an announcement on March 10, indicating their intention to
thoroughly
investigate all suspects who have participated in killing Falun Gong
practitioners
at the Sujiatun Concentration Camp. All perpetrators who participate in
crimes at
the Sujiatun Concentration Camp "will surely be brought to justice."
The
organization will bring this investigation, no matter how long it
takes, no
matter how far and deep we have to search, to full closure.
Inhuman actions are
accelerating the CCP's demise
A representative of the Global Service for Quitting the
CCP,
Mr. Li Dayong, said that the barbaric killing of Falun Gong
practitioners at
the CCP's Sujiatun Concentration Camp is only speeding up its demise.
More and
more people have seen the CCP's inhuman and evil nature, and the wave
of
quitting the CCP is getting higher and higher. More than 6,000 Falun
Gong practitioners
are being illegally detained and tortured in the secret Sujiatun
Concentration
Camp in Shenyang. This fact alone is enough to allow the world's people
to see
more clearly the CCP's evil nature. We call upon more people to break
away from
the CCP's control as soon as possible, and let us work together to stop
the
evil.
Some people from communities who love freedom and
democracy also made speeches at the rally, expressing their shock at
the CCP's
heartless crimes. They also expressed that this is an indication of the
CCP's
impending demise.
A former journalist made it public that thousands of Falun Gong practitioners are detained in a secret concentration camp in Sujiatun, Shenyang in China. There is a crematorium in the camp. Many doctors stay there. Nobody has come out of the camp. Practitioners' internal organs are harvested for illegal sale on the black market and then cremated to destroy the evidence.
People around the world in all walks of life are shocked and
alarmed. Families of abducted and missing Falun Gong practitioners are
in deep worry. To protest this newest atrocity, Falun Gong
practitioners in San Francisco Bay Area initiated a relay hunger strike
and rallied in front of the Chinese Consulate General, calling on the
international community to investigate and stop the murder.

The journalist said there were very few Falun Gong practitioners in Masanjia Labor Camp and Dabei Second Jail, two places notorious for detaining and brutally torturing Falun Gong practitioners. Most practitioners had been transferred to Sujiatun. Practitioners in the three northeast provinces and mid-China were also being transferred to Sujiatun.
Falun Gong spokesperson Sherry Zhang said the news about the illegal organ harvest and murder in the concentration camp demonstrates the critical condition of Falun Gong practitioners in China. She called for the international community to pay immediate attention to this case.
Computer Engineer Mr. Hu Zhihua expressed his increased concern and worry about his missing brother. His brother Hu Zhiming was a former deputy director for the Computer Department of the Research Institute of Beijing Air Force Military Training Equipment. He had the rank of squadron leader. He was discharged and thrown in prison for remaining steadfast in his conviction to practice Falun Gong. Between Sept. 23 and Sept. 25, 2005, Beijing Police and National Security Department searched his home and abducted him. He has been missing since. Hu Zhihua has been calling for help to find his brother.
Dr. Charles Li, who had just regained freedom after three years of CCP imprisonment and torture, told this reporter, "I would like to express my indignation about this fascist atrocity. I hope the international community will urge the CCP to open this concentration camp to investigation and stop the killing."
Charles Li started a hunger strike in the morning. He said the persecution of Falun Gong by the CCP had been more than six years and had been escalating. More than 2800 Falun Gong practitioners are confirmed dead from persecution. In addition, a large number of practitioners are missing after being abducted by CCP police. He called for the world society to investigate their whereabouts.
Various parties have confirmed the illegal harvest of bodily organs from detainees in China. Some bloody death cases of Falun Gong practitioners, collected by the Minghui website, reveal mysterious holes and surgical incisions on the bodies of practitioners tortured to death. In some cases, autopsies were conducted without families' consent. Insiders have reported the theft and sale of Falun Gong practitioners' organs after they were tortured to death during detention.
In May, 2005, Masonic Center in San Francisco had 21 unidentified bodies from China on display. It triggered great concern. The skin of these bodies had been taken off. Some had missing organs. They were displayed in different poses. Some skin was hung with hangers. It was said that the sponsor spent more than 3 million dollars on these bodies and organs. There were such exhibitions in eight other places of the world. Each ticket for the San Francisco exhibition cost $17. Eighty-five percent of the benefit went back to China. ABC reported the bodies were bought from a university in Beijing. However, when the reporter called the university, the person in charge didn't know anything about it. The reporter asked the Masonic Center about it, but the employees of the Masonic Center had been asked not to discuss the source of the bodies and to answer that they didn't know.
Another Falun Gong practitioner on hunger strike, Mr. Lu Zhiping, said selling Falun Gong practitioners' organs and cremating their bodies in Sujiatun Concentration Camp was actually an implementation of Jiang Zemin's genocidal and national terrorism policy of "ruin their reputations, bankrupt them financially and destroy them physically." He called for people of all walks of life to speak out their voice of justice and to stop the CCP tyranny.
On
March 10, 2006, Holland Media "APS" published an article entitled "Concentration
Camp for Falun Gong Disclosed, Prisoners Killed for Organ
Harvesting," reporting on an appalling crime revealed by an
insider who recently exposed to the outside world about a secret
concentration
camp built in Sujiatun in Shenyang. After practitioners died as a
result of
persecution, the prison guards and doctors would remove and sell their
internal
organs for profit.
The
article stated that since the Nuremberg Trials came to a close in 1946,
condemning the Nazi officials who were 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.
This
Wednesday, March 8, 2006, the European Falun Gong Information Centre
received
shocking, detailed information from a Chinese Communist Party insider
documenting a concentration camp set up in Shenyang city, Liaoning
province,
expressly for Falun Gong practitioners.
The
news comes on the heels of the U.S. Department of State 2005 Country
Reports on
Human Rights Practices, released on Wednesday; the reports cited
continued,
systematic abuses of the Falun Gong in China.
The
article stated that information about the camp was relayed via audio
recording
from a former intelligence agent of the CCP regime. It is the first
time news
of the secret camp's existence was disclosed to outsiders. The camp is
said to
hold over 6,000 Falun Gong practitioners at any given time, and 'nobody
has yet
to come out' from it alive. According to the source, it contains a
crematorium,
and an unusually large number of doctors work there, reflecting the
camp's
practice of killing prisoners for their organs, which are then sold for
profit.
Falun
Gong practitioners are killed for their organs, which are sent off to
various
medical facilities. Organ sales is now a highly profitable business in
China...
The
source tried to convey the horror of what is happening in the
concentration
camp: 'Why was a crematorium built, and why are so many doctors housed
there?
... The answer is something unimaginable. You must be clear that a
cremator for
bodies is different than a burner used for sanitation purposes.'
The
source said, "Located in the Sujiatun district of Shenyang city, the
camp,
dubbed the Sujiatun Concentration Camp, is surrounded by walls three
meters
high topped with electrified barbed wire. It is heavily fortified and
said to
be highly secret; locals know close to nothing about it. Those held
inside are
Falun Gong practitioners from China's three northeastern provinces as
well as
central China; many are said to have been transferred there from
various labor
camps. CCP authorities involved with the camp have 'learned many things
from
North Korea.'"
'This
is deeply, terribly disturbing, and confirms our worst fears: that CCP
authorities remain intent on 'eradicating' Falun Gong, and in their
desperation
will go to any lengths,' stated EFGIC spokesperson Mr. Peter Jauhal.
'We need
to be clear that the persecution has not gone away, it has merely
become darker
and more hidden.'
The
CCP source spoke at length about the unlawful 'harvesting' of organs in
the
Sujiatun facility. 'If Falun Dafa practitioners are sent to Sujiatun,'
he said,
'they have no chance of coming out ... The CCP won't let a prisoner
consume
food forever. So what are they up to, then? ... the Falun Dafa
practitioners
are killed for their organs, which are sent off to various medical
facilities.
Organ sales is now a highly profitable business in China.'
'They
can't find enough bodies through executions, and no bodies are more
readily
available for this business than those of the [Falun Dafa]
practitioners,' he
stated.
The
article states that warning signs have surfaced in recent months, that
the CCP
intends in desperation to eradicate Falun Gong.
The
article states that according to the Paris-based Intelligence Online,
last June
CCP authorities reportedly held a 'crisis meeting' in which China's
deputy
minister of Public Security, Liu Jing, was assigned the job of
'stamping out'
Falun Gong 'before the Olympic Games in 2008.' Several reports have
stated that
authorities wish to use the Olympics as a pretext to deepen their
assault on
the Falun Gong.
The
article cites a report from Reuters that this past January Chinese
officials
similarly announced a 'new campaign' that would supposedly 'sabotage
activities
of cult organizations' as part of a 'complex struggle against enemies.'
Past
campaigns to 'strike hard' have resulted in upwards of 10,000 plus
executions
in a single year, say human rights groups.
Word
of concentration camps for Falun Gong practitioners has circulated for
several
years. On October 1, 2000, report by Agence France Presse told of two
concentration camps having been recently built, both specifically for
Falun
Gong detainees. The camps were said to have been built in northwest and
northeast China, and capable of each holding up to 50,000 persons.
The
article cites an article on Minghui.net published on October 6, 2000.
It said
that a concentration camp, expressly for the Falun Gong, had been built
in the
remote northwestern province of Xinjiang. Chinese sources report seeing
Falun
Gong practitioners shipped off on trains to the Xinjiang camp. Little
to no information
on the secretive camp has emerged. No one to date is known to have come
back
from the camp.
The article finally cites Mr. Jauhal's words, 'International media and governments around the world must pay attention to this and take active measures to investigate the concentration camp and put a stop to this barbarity and madness. We are calling for all possible support from international organizations. There must be accountability in China. If this is the price people are paying for our silence, it is chillingly tragic.
