Dominion Post (Wellington, New Zealand): A matter of faith
March 16, 2006 Thursday FOLLOWERS of the meditation-based Falun Gong faith march through the streets
of Wellington in protest against the torture, murder and suspected "organ
harvesting" of fellow practitioners in China. A former Chinese spy alleged
in a United States newspaper, the Epoch Times, this week that more than 6000
Falun Gong practitioners were being held in a secret concentration camp at
Shenyang City in northeast China. The camp was dedicated to the persecution --
and possibly lucrative organ-harvesting -- of Falun Gong followers, the spy
said. "Nobody has yet come out of it alive", he said. March organiser
Gina Shakespear said the faith's growing popularity -- attracting about 100
million followers in the past seven years -- was [considered]a threat to China's
ruling Communist party, which had recently had nine million people withdraw
their membership. Falun Gong followers were forced to practise in secret.
