By a Ukrainian practitioner
(Clearwisdom.net) On December 5, 2006, an international conference on
the topic "The Media Opposes Terrorism and Extremism" was held in
Donetsk City in Ukraine by the Kiev Diamatik Social and Economic Research
Center, the Humanitarian Policy Office of the Department of Defense of Ukraine,
the European Atlantic Cooperation Department, the International Security
Scientific Information Center at Donetsk National University, and the Politics
Analysis and Social Research Institute subordinate to the Kiev NATO (North
Atlantic Treaty Organization) Information and Literature Center. The persecution of Falun Gong received attention at the
international conference During the conference three major topics were discussed: terrorism,
extremism, and genocide. The conference also discussed how to prevent terrorism,
as well as co-operation between government and society to oppose terrorism
together. The conference also discussed large scale state terrorism launched by
the Chinese government against Falun Gong practitioners in China. Many representatives gave speeches at the conference, including Uriy
Grebenchuk, the general manager of Kiev Diamatik Social and Economic Research
Center; Vladimir Kipen, the president of Donetsk Politics Analysis and Social
Research Institute; and An Sagaydak from the department of International
Relations and Politics at Donetsk National University. Representatives from NATO
headquarters to Ukraine and the Russian Political Relations and Security
emphasized in their speeches that "co-operation among countries is an
important condition for eradicating terrorism." The speech given by Ms. Rosina Milostnova, chief editor of The Epoch Times
newspaper, which is registered in Ukraine, aroused the conference delegates'
attention. She said that terrorism can occur at the level of the state and that
today this kind of terrorism is happening in China. The CCP's persecution of
Falun Gong is actually state-terrorism. The CCP controls all state machinery
including the army, the media, public security offices, armed police, the state
security system, the judicial system, the national people's congress, diplomacy,
and so on. All of them exist to persecute Falun Gong. The CCP army and police
are directly involved in abducting and arresting Falun Gong practitioners, and
the media spreads lies on behalf of the CCP. The CCP implemented the policy of
"destroying their reputations, bankrupting them financially, and
annihilating them physically" against Falun Gong practitioners who believe
in "Truthfulness Compassion, Forbearance." This persecution has lasted
for over seven years. Since July 1999, there have been at least 3000 documented
cases of Falun Gong practitioners persecuted to death. At the conference she
also exposed the CCP's crime of organ harvesting from living Falun Gong
practitioners. NTDTV reporter Vladimir Yasinskiy gave a brief speech. He also mentioned the
CCP's persecution of Falun Gong and then showed a video recording of an
independent investigation of organ harvesting. The investigation was conducted
by David Kilgour, former president of the Canadian Human Rights Committee and
the former Secretary of State (Asia Pacific) of Canada, and David Matas,
international human rights lawyer. After seeing the video, delegates at the conference were shocked. Many people
asked questions such as why a matter like this was unknown to them until today.
The organizer of the conference hoped that this report would still be presented
at the next similar conference in Krim.
