At noon of March 10, 2006, Falun Gong practitioners from Washington DC hosted a press conference in front of the Chinese Embassy, strongly protesting the Chinese Communist regime's crimes of setting up a concentration camp in Sujiatun to brutally persecute practitioners. Executive Director of the World Human Rights Organization (WHRO) Timothy Cooper, Senior Assistant to U.S. Congress and founder of the Free China Movement Joel Segal came to the conference. They urged the United States government and Congress, as well as the United Nations, to investigate the case immediately and stop the atrocities being committed.

Senior Assistant to US Congress Joel Segal is a Jewish-American, and some of his family members were killed in Nazi concentration camps in World War II. In the press conference, he strongly protested against and condemned the Chinese Communist regime's cruel persecution of peaceful citizens.

Mr. Segal indicated that the CCP is persecuting people who only perform meditation. If the American government arrested people who did Yoga or other forms of meditation, jailed them, murdered them, and sold their organs, how would the United Nations and other countries respond? He called upon U.S. Congress to investigate and take prompt action.

WHRO Executive Director Mr. Timothy Cooper said that he had visited Poland about a year ago, where some six million Jews were massacred in World War II. He had hoped that the world would never see genocide and atrocities like that again, and he was very sad to see the news of what has happened in China.

Mr. Cooper called on the U.S. government to use its best satellite technology to try to take pictures of the concentration camps in China and publicize them. He called on U.S. Congress to hold a hearing on this case as soon as possible, and the United Nations Commission on Human Rights to start an investigation.

Mr. Cooper said that once the facts are verified and proven that there is no worse genocide going on in the world today, he believes that U.S. Congress will take all necessary measures to stop any more such crimes from happening in China. He also stated that the whole world should gather all of its moral and economic power to say "No" to the Chinese Communist regime.

Mr. Segal called on the United Nations, the U.S. Government, the Red Cross, and Doctors Without Borders to start an official investigation into the concentration camps and expose the truth.

Professor Nie Sen from the Catholic University of America indicated that before the Nazi regime fell, most Western statesmen and politicians didn't know the full extent of the persecution against Jews. Today, Falun Gong practitioners are safeguarding their belief in "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" and other basic human rights with their lives.

Mr. He stated that when these intolerable crimes happen more and more often, the weight upon the perpetrators will become heavier and heavier. After the first one steps forward, it will become easier for more to do so. So now is the perfect time to dig further to find out the truth.

Mr. Cooper said that the whole world should stand up to say "No", and we have to try our best to stop the genocide that's happening in China. He said that he's proud to stand with the practitioners, and that we will be able to stop it together.

Mr. Joel Segal said that when his family members were killed in World War II, the world kept silent. But today, he has to stand up to condemn the atrocities and stop the brutal torture and killing.

(Minghui Correspondent Ying Xin reports) During recent days, the secret Sujiatun Concentration Camp in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, and the illegal detention of over 6000 Falun Gong practitioners was exposed. Human organs are being harvested from practitioners and sold on the black market. The practitioners' remains are cremated. On the afternoon of March 11, 2006, practitioners in Ottawa gathered in front of the Chinese Embassy to protest the CCP's atrocities. Six practitioners decided to hold 24-hour hunger strike to protest the CCP's inhumane torture.

During the last seven years, the CCP has denied persecuting Falun Gong practitioners. How do practitioners view it? The correspondent interviewed Ms. Lindi Zhang, the daughter of Mr. Kunlun Zhang, an artist in Canada who was persecuted in China.

Ms. Zhang said, "My father is a Canadian citizen and was imprisoned in China for practicing Falun Gong. The police shocked him with an electric baton. You can imagine how severe the persecution against those practitioners in China without any overseas contacts is. We cannot estimate how many concentration camps like Sujiatun there are in China. This is just the tip of the iceberg, even making the best estimate."

Ms. Zhang thought that the international community has a responsibility to stop the atrocities of the CCP and expose the truth worldwide.

Ms. Xin who was one of the hunger strikers said, "The CCP controls the Chinese people with violence and lies. Its words are not trustworthy. In history, the CCP persecuted at least 80 million Chinese people to death. During the last seven years of persecution against Falun Gong, the CCP applied various wicked means to torture practitioners. The persecution is inhuman and uncivilized."

Ms. Xin continued, "The Chinese people are awakening, which the CCP fears most. No atrocity can change the CCP's fate."

Ms. Li, another hunger striker, said with tears running in her eyes, "We can practice peacefully in Canada. In China, practitioners cannot practice in public but are persecuted brutally. Only demons like the CCP can commit such evil deeds."

Mr. Li, a hunger striker from Taiwan said, "Today, the CCP not only torture practitioners with most brutal means, but harvest their organs for profit. In history, what party is so evil?"

Mr. Xun Li, Director of the Falun Dafa Association Canada, said, "The cruelty and scale of the persecution in this concentration camp shows the CCP's nature and final struggle. Falun Dafa Association Canada has sent out urgent calls to the Canadian governments to condemn the CCP's atrocities and investigate the Sujiatun Concentration Camp. Many members of Parliament expressed concern and wanted to learn more details."

On the morning of March 11, 2006, Falun Gong practitioners held a protest in front of the Chinese embassy in Japan regarding the outrageous crimes the CCP is committing in the secret Sujiatun Concentration Camp. Falun Gong practitioners have been locked up in the camp and tortured to death; afterwards, their internal organs were removed and their bodies cremated to destroy the evidence. The practitioners also called upon the international community to conduct an independent investigation, and work together to stop the CCP's violence. Falun Gong practitioners held two banners accusing the CCP of crimes. The banners read, "Strongly condemn CCP's building a secret concentration camp in Shenyang City where Falun Gong practitioners are tortured to death and their internal organs are removed and sold for profit!" and "CCP's tyranny will definitely collapse!"

Days ago, a former Chinese journalist disclosed some facts that are shocking and little known to the public. The CCP built a secret concentration camp in Sujiatun, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province where thousands of Falun Gong practitioners have been locked up. The camp has a crematorium. No detainees have managed to leave the concentration camp alive. Before cremation, the internal organs are all removed from the bodies and sold.

The insider also revealed that now there are only a few Falun Gong practitioners at the Masanjia Labor Camp and Dabei Second Prison. Most of them have been moved to Sujiatun. Other practitioners from northeastern China and central China are also being transferred there. The situation is urgent.

Falun Gong practitioners from around the world have showed deep concern over the revelation of the CCP's outrageous crimes, especially relatives of Falun Gong practitioners who disappeared after being abducted by CCP agents. They are even more worried, and they joined protests in front of Chinese embassies and consulates around the world.

Ms. Lianben, a representative of the Japan Falun Dafa Association, said to the reporter in tears, "The CCP has been brutally persecuting Falun Gong for nearly seven years. The number of practitioners verified to have been tortured to death is close to 3,000. Under Jiang's extremely vicious policy of 'beating Falun Gong practitioners to death is counted as suicide,' there might be many more torture deaths that haven't been exposed to the public. Chinese compatriots, be quick to wake up, lend your conscience and justice, and join us to stop this persecution! Otherwise, the Chinese nation will be destroyed at the hand of these evildoers."

Ms. Lianben especially emphasized that the methods used in the secret Sujiatun Concentration Camp are designed to destroy the evidence of their crimes. This reveals its fear of its imminent disintegration and the severe punishment that will follow, because these Falun Gong practitioners are witnesses of the persecution. She called upon people with a sense of justice, the media and human rights organizations to pay attention to, report on and help stop the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong practitioners.

Japanese Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Zhang Yuan said, "We are all Falun Gong practitioners who believe in "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance," but our situations are vastly different due to the difference in the countries we live in. Today is my birthday. I want to stage a hunger strike in front of the Chinese Embassy in Japan to strongly protest the CCP's devilish brutality in the secret Sujiatun Concentration Camp, and stop the evil persecution against Falun Gong practitioners."

A man working in a Japanese company expressed that when he saw this appalling news on Clearwisdom.net, he trembled with fear, and he immediately told his Japanese colleagues about this terrorist atrocity. His colleagues asked him, "After the CCP collapses, who will be held accountable for this outrageous crimes?"

An incident occurring the day before verified the Chinese journalists special reminder: "Lately, Falun Gong practitioners were beaten in Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Epoch Times print office was smashed. I would like to remind Falun Gong practitioners or groups in Japan to be extremely cautious about their safety." During the evening of March 10, 2006, Japan's Epoch Times administrative office in Osaka was broken into. The perpetrators stole two desktop computers, one laptop and one digital camera. Cash and other valuables were not touched. The police, after investigating the evidence, stated that the burglary was aimed at stealing information.

It is believed that the CCP's killing in the secret concentration camp, and its series of terrorist crimes targeting The Epoch Times, reveal its fear before its imminent demise.

After the revelation of a secret concentration camp in Sujiatun that the Chinese Communist regime built to murder Falun Gong practitioners, people from all walks of life inside and outside China were shocked. Falun Gong practitioners in Thailand held a protest in front of the Chinese Embassy on March 12, 2006, strongly denouncing the CCP's barbaric killing and calling upon the international community to help stop this inhuman crime immediately.

The CCP's Sujiatun Concentration Camp in Shenyang City illegally detains more than 6,000 Falun Gong practitioners. An unusually large number of doctors work inside the camp, which also has its own crematorium. After Falun Gong practitioners were tortured to death, they would have their internal organs removed for sale. Their bodies would be cremated afterwards to destroy the evidence.

Thailand Falun Gong practitioners expressed that the CCP's secret massacre of Falun Gong practitioners is intolerable and unpardonable by Heaven's law. All people with a sense of justice and conscience should condemn and together put an end to the CCP's barbaric atrocities.

On March 11, 2006, Saturday, Falun Gong practitioners in London came to the Hammersmith business area in West London to explain the facts about Falun Gong and to expose the CCP's brutal persecution of practitioners. They expressed support for the over 8 million people who renounced the CCP.

Passersby sign their names to condemn the CCP and support people quitting the CCP

In March, it is still very cold in London. The practitioners came to the front of the shopping center in Hammersmith Subway Station and set up an information table and posters, exposing the CCP's brutal persecution of Falun Gong and trampling of human rights. They explained to passersby about the CCP's inhuman persecution against Falun Gong practitioners who follow Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance. They also unfurled banners to support the over 8 million Chinese people who have renounced the CCP and its related organizations.

The practitioners distributed handouts to passers-by to expose the CCP's secret Sujiatun Concentration Camp in Shenyang, Liaoning Province. The camp illegally imprisons and kills practitioners who are transferred from other regions. Human organs are harvested from practitioners and sold on the black market. The practitioners' remains are cremated to destroy evidence. The UK practitioners also condemned the CCP's extension of violence to overseas and ordering spies to attack the Epoch Times. Passers-by condemned the CCP and signed to support those who have renounced CCP.
