It was very shocking to hear the news that the Chinese Communist regime has built a secret concentration camp in Sujiatun, Shenyang City, where more than 6,000 Falun Gong practitioners have been locked up. At this camp, Falun Gong practitioners' internal organs are harvested and sold for profit. On March 11-12, 2006, Falun Gong practitioners in Philadelphia gathered in front of decorated archway between No. 10 Street and Yaqi Street in Chinatown, condemning the CCP's outrageous atrocities, helping people learn about the truth and calling for an end to the persecution of Falun Gong.
There were many visitors in Chinatown on Saturday. Passersby were surprised upon hearing about the Chinese Communist regime's inhuman atrocities. They considered it unimaginable that such cruel persecution is still happening in China in modern times. They showed sympathy for the Falun Gong practitioners' suffering in China and condemned the CCP's brutality. Hundreds of flyers were given out within two hours.
At noon on Sunday, it was raining, but the Falun Gong practitioners came to Chinatown as usual. They held up banners, exposed the CCP's heinous crimes to the public and demanded an immediate end to the persecution of innocent Falun Gong practitioners. It happened to be the last day of a flower exhibition in Philadelphia, and many people came to Chinatown, which is nearby the exhibition. They accepted flyers about the CCP's crimes while listening to the practitioners' truth clarification broadcasting. An officer from Philadelphia's Police Department was on duty on No. 10 Street. He said that he had learned about the atrocities and expressed his support for the practitioners.
A Chinese man was very angry upon hearing this tragedy, and he said, "It is too debased to be done by a human being. Heaven will definitely punish this crime!" A young man said, "My whole family has been watching news about Falun Gong, and I knew the self-immolation was a hoax several years ago. It's wrong to persecute good people."
A retired older man from Taishan, Guangdong Province named Mr. Li said that he had known the CCP be the worst 50 years ago. Mr. Li fled from mainland China in 1953. He first went to Hong Kong and then to the United States. Between 1951-1952, he witnessed many CCP atrocities. He said that Falun Gong practitioners, in the face of the CCP's brutality, have been making great efforts to help people know the truth, spread the Nine Commentaries, and promote them quit CCP, and he applauded the practitioners' efforts.
An older Chinese man in his 60's said, "I know the history of the CCP, and I saw through it a long time ago! I have long lost hope in the CCP. China has been totally destroyed by the CCP! When I went back to China to visit my relatives two years ago, a young man in his 20s was beaten to death by police officers in his village. The police refused to let the young man's family to see his body and immediately cremated it."
Many people took the Nine Commentaries so as to gain a deeper understanding of the CCP's evil nature.
We were shocked by the news of the Chinese Communist regime unlawfully gathering over six thousand practitioners in a secret concentration camp at Sujiatun, killing them, harvesting their organs for sale, and cremating their bodies. On March 11, 2006, practitioners from Chicago, Indiana, and Wisconsin gathered at the Chinese Consulate in Chicago to protest the atrocities that the Chinese Communist regime is committing against Falun Gong practitioners.

At the rally, practitioners unfurled a huge banner with words in both Chinese and English: "Protesting Chinese Communist Regime's Crimes of Killing Practitioners and Selling Their Organs in the Secret Concentration Camp in Sujiatun, Shenyang City!" A practitioner read the account from the Clearwisdom website:
He said, "You are probably familiar with what happens at the
Masanjia
Labor Camp; the most common torture is shocking with electric batons.
The
interrogation techniques from Masanjia have been passed to all levels
of the CCP
political and judiciary organs. If Falun Gong practitioners are sent to
Sujiatun,
though, they have no chance of coming out. What is the CCP doing to
them inside
those walls? The CCP would never feed and house them indefinitely. What
many
people probably do not know is that the CCP political and judiciary
departments
in the Shenyang City area and the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture
learned
many things from North Korea."
"The CCP won't let a prisoner consume food forever. Then what are they
doing? In the end, the Falun Gong practitioners are killed for their
organs,
which are sent to the various medical facilities. Currently, organ
selling is a
very profitable business in China. Many patients that died on the
operating
table have had their organs taken away. No one investigates it, and
even doctors
are involved in this trade. They cannot find enough bodies through
executions,
and no bodies are more readily available than those of practitioners to
do this
business."
Practitioner Ms. Zhang Tianxiao from Chicago came to the rally. She spoke about her younger sister Zhang Yunhe and brother-in-law Zou Songtao. Zou Songtao obtained his Master's degree from Qingtao Marine University but was not allowed to find a job only because he practices Falun Gong. He was sent to forced labor by the 610 Office and the Qingdao Police Department for clarifying the truth in June 2000. He was held in the Qingdao City Forced Labor Camp and tortured to death at the end of 2000.
Ms. Zhang Yunhe was fired for practicing Falun Gong. She went to Beijing to appeal for justice for Falun Gong and was detained in a detention center in Beijing for doing the Falun Gong exercises in Tiananmen Square. She was held at the Dashan Detention Center for at least half a year in Qingdao, and then she disappeared. This happened four and a half years ago.
After reading the Sujiatun report, Ms. Zhang Tianxiao said: "My sister and her family's story is just one case out of hundreds of thousands of such accounts. I hope more and more people of conscience will step forward and provide more information, help the whole world see the CCP's crimes, and stop the persecution."
On March 11, Chicago residents celebrated St. Patrick's Day. Many people passed by our exhibition and were shocked.
After reading the flier that practitioners handed out, an American gentleman said, "Couldn't you take some measure? What's the use of this?" A practitioner answered, "Falun Gong is a group of practitioners following "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance". We oppose this peacefully." The gentleman nodded and asked what he could do to help. The practitioner told him, "You can see that the only TV station that is here to interview us is the New Tang Dynasty TV, which is the only Chinese-language TV network that dares to expose the CCP. More and more people are bringing information about the persecution out of China. Falun Gong practitioners have been through six years of peaceful opposition against the persecution. I hope that you can help to spread the facts, and when more and more people learn about the evil nature of the CCP, they will stand up and say 'no' to their crimes." The American gentleman replied, "I hope I can stand next to you guys and we can stop the persecution together!"
On March 11, practitioners from Edmonton, Canada rallied at the square by the farmer's market and announced a hunger strike to protest the killing of practitioners and the sale of their organs at the Chinese Communist regime's Sujiatun Concentration Camp. They called on each level government of Canada to condemn and stop the systematic killings.

Reading the open letter from the Canadian Falun Dafa Association |
At the rally, local Falun Gong contact person Mr. Ye read the open letter from the Canadian Falun Dafa Association that strongly condemned the Chinese Communist regime's inhumanity. He indicated that the concentration camp at Sujiatun may be just one of many concentration camps that the Chinese Communist regime is using to persecute practitioners. He called on Canadians to work together to stop the persecution and conduct a thorough investigation on the concentration camp.
A source revealed to the Minghui website: "You are probably familiar

Practitioner Ms. Liu stated that even though she knew of the Chinese Communist regime brutality before, she was shocked at how much farther it has gone. What they did in killing practitioners and selling their organs was hauntingly reminiscent of the Nazi concentration camps in World War II. She pointed out that this must be stopped immediately, or all of us will be silent conspirators in this atrocity.
Ms. Liu said that she looked up the contact information for all the parliament members of Canada, provincial level parliament members and city government officials. She has sent them mail to ask them to take action to help stop the crimes being committed against the practitioners in China. She also participated in the protest hunger strike and handed out materials about the concentration camp and "Nine Commentaries on Communist Party".
She indicated that it might be difficult for some kind-hearted people to even imagine what is happening in the concentration camp, but once they read the Nine Commentaries, they will learn the bloody history and evil nature of the Communist Party. That way, it will be clear that this is just another step in their progression of violence.
Mr. Guo, who recently arrived from Dalian, China, expressed that he was greatly saddened by what has happened in the concentration camp and believes that it is entirely within the CCP's nature to do this. He expressed that he would do everything in his power to put a stop to it by exposing these atrocities to the public.
To protest the Chinese Communist regime's crimes of killing Falun Gong practitioners at secret Sujiatun Concentration Camp and removing and selling their organs for profit, Falun Gong practitioners in Singapore displayed photo boards in front of Guanyin Temple in downtown area on March 14, 2006. The practitioners also distributed truth-clarification materials and the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party to local people, who showed concern over the incident.
CCP's atrocities draw Singaporeans' attention
Display boards exposing the CCP's crimes at Sujiatun Concentration Camp
A steady flow of people passed by the Guanyin Temple in the downtown area. Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Cheng stood in front of photo display boards to explain to passersby the CCP's atrocities and passed out truth clarification flyers to help them have a better understanding. Ms. Cheng held a one-day hunger strike to protest the CCP's cruel and outrageous crimes committed against Falun Gong practitioners.
CCP has built a secret concentration camp in Sujiatun, Shenyang City, where more than 6,000 Falun Gong practitioners have been locked up. The secret prison has a crematorium and an unusually large number of doctors. It is reported that no detained practitioners have managed to come out of the camp alive. Before cremation, the practitioners' internal organs are harvested and sold for profit. In the last century, the Nazis massacred more than six million Jews in gas chambers in concentration camps, the Japanese army slaughtered tens of thousands at Nanjing, but we have never heard about the incidents where prisoners have had their internal organs harvested and sold for profit. The CCP's outrageous atrocities are beyond imagination. A Chinese man saw the photo display boards and said, "The CCP is even more brutal and heinous than Japanese soldiers from World War II."
The display boards played an important role in exposing the CCP's atrocities to Singaporeans that have been deceived by the CCP's lies. Many people showed their concern and asked, "What is happening?" After learning about the truth, people expressed their shock and dismay. Ms. Yang watched the photos and said, "A country will be in danger without morality. The CCP is destroying the morality of humanity, and its evil endangers everyone in the world." Mr. He said, "The CCP is brutal, and I wholeheartedly believe that the revelation from the display boards is true. The CCP has done too many evil deeds and will definitely not last much longer."
Recently, Falun Gong practitioners have gone to Chinese embassies and consulates in their respective countries to protest the Chinese Communist regime's killing of Falun Gong practitioners at Sujiatun Concentration Camp and selling their internal organs for profit. On March 14, 2006, Falun Gong practitioners in Malaysia also went to the Chinese Embassy to protest the CCP's atrocities.
Protesting the CCP's atrocities in front of the Chinese Embassy
Falun Gong spokesperson Yang Sheng expressed that the CCP's criminal acts have committed unpardonable crimes and far exceeded the bounds of human decency. He said, "We call upon the Malaysian government and governments of other countries in the world to see clearly the CCP's evil nature and help stop this most brutal persecution." Yang Sheng also expressed that they would continue holding activities to expose the inhuman and barbaric crimes of the CCP to the public. He said that they would take part in the Asia-Pacific Hunger Strike Relay to protest the CCP's genocidal persecution against Falun Gong.
At present, due to the CCP's pressure on the Malaysian government, the Chinese Embassy has become a sensitive area. The Falun Gong practitioners' protests would always draw a large number of police officers, but the practitioners said that they would take this opportunity to clarify the truth to these police officers and tell them about the CCP's crimes. Yang Sheng said that the police often asked if there was new information and gladly accepted the flyers.
In conclusion, Yang Sheng said that no matter how the CCP wreaks havoc, it will only help more people to learn about its crimes.
The Chinese Communist regime has established a secret concentration camp in Sujiatun, where Falun Gong practitioners have been locked up and killed for their organs. This atrocity was disclosed on Clearwidom.net on March 8, 2006 and immediately alarmed and enraged people from all walks of life overseas. To protest such a barbarous crime, on March 14, 2006, Falun Gong practitioners in Sydney, Australia held a press conference in front of the Chinese Consulate and staged a protest hunger strike to strongly condemn the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP's) outrageous atrocity and call upon the Australian government and international community to immediately investigate the situation and help stop the CCP's inhuman and heinous crimes.

Sydney Falun Dafa Association: Australian government should immediately investigate the situation and help stop the persecution
John Deller, representing the Sydney Falun Dafa Association, spoke at the press conference. He pointed out that there are more than 2,840 innocent Falun Gong practitioners verified to have died as a result of the persecution, and many more practitioners have been arrested and then disappeared. Many relatives of Falun Gong practitioners who were tortured to death found that the organs of these practitioners' remains were stolen. Many dead practitioners' families were unable to see their loved ones' corpses but received only a box of ashes. The revelation of Sujiatun Concentration Camp verifies our worst fear, that the CCP authorities are still insisting on thoroughly "eradicating" Falun Gong. They employ any persecution means they can think of. The police and other perpetrators participating in the persecution have even been encouraged to kill practitioners and remove their organs for profit. The Falun Dafa Association strongly condemns the CCP's inhuman and outrageous atrocity and requests the Australian government and United Nations and other international organizations to immediately investigate the situation, further expose the CCP's crimes and help stop the persecution.
WOIFG: No perpetrator will go unpunished; the Sujiatun Camp will definitely be investigated
A representative from The World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG) said in his speech that the 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 announcement encourages all people with information to provide the names of all suspected organizations and individuals who have participated in killing Falun Gong practitioners at the concentration camp. To protect those who provide important evidence, WOIPFG will help them to leave China and obtain asylum status. 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."
Li Baoqing: Hunger strike to protest CCP's genocidal persecution of Falun Gong
Former PhD tutor from the Chinese Academy of Science Mr. Li Baoqing made a statement that he was going to stage a hunger strike today to protest the CCP's outrageous atrocities committed at Sujiatun Concentration Camp. Li Baoqing was once illegally arrested, detained and taken to brainwashing classes to suffer mental torment simply because he practiced Falun Gong. His wife Liu Jinghang was also illegally arrested by the police and disappeared for many days. Their family members and friends did not know their whereabouts and worried very much about their safety. Li Baoqing believed that the atrocities at Sujiatun Concentration Camp also reflect the CCP's last-ditch struggle before its imminent demise. Upon hearing the news of the situation at Sujiatun, Li Baoqing and several other Falun Gong practitioners decided to stage a hunger strike in front of the Chinese Consulate to protest the CCP's genocidal persecution of Falun Gong. They hope the world's people will show concern over the situation there, and help stop the barbarous and inhuman atrocities immediately.
Zeng Zheng: Threatened to be sent to the northeast to be detained without possible return
Ms. Zeng Zheng mentioned at the press conference that when she was illegally detained in China for practicing Falun Gong, the police once told her that the purpose of detaining her was to "transform" her, and force her and other Falun Gong practitioners to give up their belief. The police also threatened her and said if she did not give up her belief, she would be sent to a place in the northeast to be detained, and it would never be possible for her to return home. Ms. Zeng expressed that her personal experience made her believe that the revelation of Sujiatun Concentration Camp is true, and she was also saddened that some people are in doubt about the authenticity of such a brutal persecution.
Former surgeon Yuan Hong from Shenyang City: Trade of organ transplants truly exists
Former surgeon Yuan Hong from the 1st Hospital affiliated with the Shenyang Chinese Medical University made a speech and gave evidence, with his own personal experience, that the trade of organ transplants in Shenyang and other places truly exists. Yuan Hong expressed that as he knew, organs harvested from death penalty criminals for organ transplants include hearts, lungs, kidneys, livers and other organs. The on-site organ transplant operations were approved by the authorities in advance, and were performed in cooperation with prisons and police. The criminals for organ transplants were not completely dead at the time of the harvest. Afterwards, the bodies of the criminals would be directly cremated and the ashes boxes would be given to their families. As a doctor who had been working in a hospital in Shenyang for ten years, Yuan Hong believes that the recent revelation of Sujiatun Concentration Camp, where nearly 6,000 Falun Gong practitioners have been locked up and where doctors there harvest their organs, is true. He thought that people have taken for granted such things under the rule of the CCP, and that people in China do not think that such acts are illegal and a violation of human rights.
Zhang Cuiying: Nephew has been arrested for several months, his whereabouts still unknown
Australian-Chinese artist Ms. Zhang Cuiying who was once illegally detained in China for eight months for practicing Falun Gong made a speech at the press conference. She revealed that her nephew Chen Zhongxin, whose hometown is in Wenzhou City, was illegally detained for three years for practicing Falun Gong. During his detention, he was subjected to various barbarous tortures, and he was once tortured on the "Dead Person's Bed" for ten days. After being released, he was again arrested for printing and spreading the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, and has been missing for over five months. His family and friends have no information about his whereabouts, and his parents have been very grieved. Especially upon hearing about the atrocities at Sujiatun Concentration Camp, they are even more worried about his safety. Ms. Zhang called upon the world's people to extend their help to investigate and find her nephew's whereabouts.
Free China Organization: Hope to form an investigation group as soon as possible to travel to Shenyang's Sujiatun to investigate
Ms. Zhao, representing the Free China Organization, expressed that when the atrocities of the Nazi death camps were disclosed 60 years ago, the whole world was shocked. People swore that no such atrocities should be allowed to recur. However, in today's China in the 21st century, in this ancient country with a long and splendid culture and tradition of respecting Heaven and caring for people, there is once again the tragedy of a brutal concentration camp where unspeakable atrocities are committed. All people of conscience should not tolerate these atrocities or let such outrageous crimes run rampant. Ms. Zhao expressed that as an organization that aims to strive for gaining human rights and freedom for more Chinese people, Free China hopes to cooperate with the Australian government and other human rights organizations to form an investigation group as soon as possible, to travel to Shenyang's Sujiatun to investigate the situation, and try all means to end these inhuman and heinous crimes. Ms. Zhao also said that the CCP has murdered more than 80 million innocent Chinese people in recent history, and has committed huge crimes. At present, nearly nine million people have publicly quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. We believed that in near future, history will hold the CCP accountable for its crimes.
Falun Gong practitioners in Melbourne were shocked at the CCP's cruel and outrageous crimes of secretly killing Falun Gong practitioners at Sujiatun Concentration Camp and removing and selling their internal organs for profit. On the morning of March 14, 2006, practitioners arrived outside the Chinese Consulate in Melbourne to protest the CCP's barbaric persecution of Falun Gong practitioners.
Falun Gong practitioners in Melbourne protest the CCP's atrocities in front of the Chinese Consulate
In the morning, it was time for the Chinese Consulate to process visa applications, and there was a steady flow of people coming in and going out of the consulate. After 9:30a.m., practitioners repeatedly read in both Chinese and English the announcement of the World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong regarding the investigation of suspects who have participated in killing Falun Gong practitioners at Sujiatun Concentration Camp. They compassionately called upon people with conscience who are working inside the CCP system not to ally themselves with the CCP and break away from it. Many people who came to process their visas were shocked and listened attentively to the announcement for quite a long time.
Xiao Qing, who came to Australia from China one year ago, said that the barbaric crimes committed at Sujiatun Concentration Camp are appalling, and many kind-hearted people do not want to believe it, but this is quite consistent with the CCP's evil nature. The staged self-immolation incident in Tiananmen Square was a precedent. She said that the revelation of the Sujiatun Concentration Camp has been a source of sadness and grave concern for the practitioners in China. She once witnessed many Falun Gong practitioners in China becoming homeless to avoid the persecution. A lot of these practitioners' whereabouts have been unknown. With the CCP's secret order, "Deaths of Falun Gong practitioners from beatings should be counted as suicide," countless insidious and outrageous crimes have been committed them.
On March 15-26, 2006, the Commonwealth Games will be held in Melbourne, and nearly three million visitors are expected. Falun Gong practitioners will make great efforts to hold a series of activities to expose the CCP's atrocities to the world, stop the evil and awaken the people.
On March 10, 2006, Falun Gong practitioners in Queensland, Australia, gathered outside the Chinese Consulate in Brisbane, protesting the Chinese Communist regime's atrocities at the secret Sujiatun Concentration Camp and the re-arrest of rape victim Liu Jizhi from Hebei Province. The practitioners also held a candlelight vigil to mourn the victims of the persecution.

Practitioners made display boards to expose the evil persecution
Recently, a reliable source disclosed appalling information that is little known to the public. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) built Sujiatun, a secret concentration camp, in Shenyang City, where it is reported that more than 6,000 Falun Gong practitioners have been locked up. This secret prison has a crematorium and many doctors on site. It is reported that no detainees have managed to come out alive. Before cremation, the internal organs of victims are removed and sold for profit.
In addition, in early March 2006, rape case victim Ms. Liu Jizhi from Zhuozhou, Hebei Province, was rearrested by agents from the Zhuozhou 610 Office and the National Security Group. They also arrested Ms. Liu's daughter. It is reported that due to physical and mental torment, and long-term harassment, Ms. Liu Jizhi has been mentally traumatized.
Practitioners from Queensland were shocked at the news that more than 6,000 Falun Gong practitioners have been subjected to outrageous persecution at Sujiatun Concentration Camp. They worked overnight to make photo boards and managed in the shortest time to expose the CCP's murderous nature to the people of Queensland. These photos attracted every passerby's attention. They inquired, "What is happening?" After learning the facts, people said to the practitioners, "It is too horrible."
A reliable source recently disclosed that Chinese Communist regime has built a secret concentration camp in Sujiatun, Shenyang City, where at least 6,000 Falun Gong practitioners have been locked up. The secret prison has a crematorium and an usually large number of doctors work there. It is reported that no detainees have managed to come out of the camp alive. Before cremation, the practitioners' internal organs are secretly harvested and sold for profit.
Protesting in the wind and snow
In order to protest the CCP's outrageous crimes, three Falun Gong practitioners in Osaka, Japan started a 24-hour hunger strike in front of the Chinese Consulate. On March 13, 2006, practitioners held a rally and read a protest letter.
The protest letter stated that half a century ago, during Hitler's mass killing of Jews, the victims were poisoned to death in gas chambers and their bodies were then immediately cremated. The crematorium was thereafter a symbol of brutality and barbarity. In the 21st century, the crematorium is again used by the CCP to attack a group of innocent people.
One of the Falun Gong practitioners who were on hunger strike said, "After reading the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, I have had some understanding of the CCP's evil nature, but I was very shocked upon hearing this news. The CCP's brutality is beyond imagination. Words fail to express my feeling, and only by staging a hunger strike can I express my protest against the killings."
Participants of the rally expressed their strongest protest through the hunger strike, and at the same time exposed the CCP's atrocities to people from all walks of life in Japan. They called upon all kind-hearted people to join together to hold the CCP accountable for its crimes.
A Chinese man who came to the Chinese Consulate to process his visa read the flyer and said, "I've long know that the CCP is evil, but this is still beyond my imagination." Some passersby said to Falun Gong practitioners, "You should keep it up." Many people were shocked after looking at the banners and learning about the truth, and they found it unimaginable that there is still such a thing happening in today's civilized society.
On March 12, 2006, Falun Gong practitioners from Aizhi County held a protest in front of the Chinese Consulate in Nagoya. They protested the CCP's inhuman persecution of Falun Gong practitioners at Sujiatun Concentration Camp in Shenyang City, Liaoning Province, and called upon the CCP to immediately stop its barbaric and debased crimes of harvesting Falun Gong practitioners' internal organs and selling them for profit.

Amidst the rain, practitioners unfurled a banner reading "Stop the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners, and stop the atrocity of harvesting Falun Gong practitioners' internal organs for profit." They also held photos with the words, "Stop the persecution of Falun Gong." After talking with us, many people were shocked by what was happening in the persecution.
On March 11, 2006, Falun Gong practitioners held a rally in Montreal's Chinatown to protest the secret concentration camp at Sujiatun. Police arrested a Chinese man who heckled and harassed the practitioners and knocked down an Epoch Times newspaper rack. The man cursed and yelled, threatening to kill practitioners.

Protesting the atrocities at the Sujiatun Concentration Camp
About fifty Falun Gong practitioners joined the rally, which began around 3:00 pm. The protest exposed the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP's) secret concentration camp in the Sujiatun area of Shenyang City, Liaoning Province. Practitioners' internal organs are harvested there and sold for profit while their bodies are cremated to destroy the evidence. Many Montrealers were shocked to learn the truth and lined up to sign up a petition asking for the Canadian government help to investigate and stop the killing.
A death threat
During the rally, a middle-aged Chinese man shouted death threats, vowing to kill all Falun Gong practitioners. He yelled in Mandarin, the native tongue of most of the protestors, and said, "The Chinese Communist Party killed a lot of people! So what?" He kicked down an Epoch Times newspaper rack at the corner of the park. A practitioner tried to calm him down and clarify the truth to him, but he only became more agitated and yelled louder. Another practitioner walked between them and asked the practitioner to leave him alone, to not give the man any market. The man reacted angrily and pushed the center practitioner who lost balance and fell forward.
The man continued to yell, curse and shout death threats. A few westerners passed by and expressed disapproval of his taunts. He followed them and cursed at them in Chinese.
An older Chinese man walked by, pointed to the man and said, "I see you are wrong. Look at these people (Falun Gong practitioners). Are you a spy hired by the Chinese Communist party?" The troublemaker cursed the man and called him a traitor to China. The old man said, "I can see you are being used by someone like a slave. You are nothing but a flunky." The man waved his fist and pointed at the old man, "If you continue to point at me, I will beat you."
Police arrive and arrest the troublemaker
Someone called the police, so the man ran away. After a while, he returned and resumed his troublemaking. A few minutes later, four police cars arrived and began to investigate. The man used fluent French to accuse practitioners of pushing him around. Someone had recorded what happened with a video camera, and many eyewitnesses provided information contradicting the man's lies. A policeman took the man to the police car to question him, and later took him away.
Other police officers asked the people at the rally if anyone knew the man. Nobody did. A practitioner suggested that the police ask the man to identify himself, but the police replied that he would probably not tell them his true name.
The practitioners explained to the police that the topic of the rally was to expose the atrocities at Sujiatun Concentration Camp. A policeman told the practitioners that they could ask local police to protect them.
The police said the troublemaker would be fined, and asked the practitioners to keep the evidence for later court use.
This affair caused a big stir in Chinatown. Several store owners said, "Falun Gong is powerful. The police came to protect you." Some people said they had begun to read Falun Gong books themselves.
A CCP spy?
Several practitioners recognized this man from earlier disturbances. He often turns up at Falun Gong activities to harass them. He curses, yells, pushes and drags practitioners.
A practitioner who came from China one year ago said the same troublemaker had harassed him many times while he was distributing truth clarification materials. He said, "His attack on Falun Gong is exactly the same as those from Communist Party. I have reason to believe he is a CCP spy assigned to interfere with Falun Gong activities."
