(Clearwisdom.net) It has been more than one month since the crimes of organ harvesting in the Chinese Communist Party's concentration camps were exposed in the media. A military doctor from the Shenyang Military Zone disclosed that there are 36 similar concentration camps across China. Similar crimes of live organ removal and cremating bodies to destroy evidence occur in many prisons, labor camps, hospitals and related facilities in China. Many practitioners face the danger of organ removal and cremation.

Practitioners in Canada spread the facts of the persecution with various means and urgently call on the international community to investigate all labor camps, prisons, and concentration camps in China, and to stop the CCP's unlawful imprisonment and persecution of Falun Gong practitioners.

Since Monday, April 10, practitioners in Toronto have appealed and collected signatures in front of the district office of Bill Graham, former Minister of Foreign Ministry and head of the Freedom Party, and the district office of Jack Layton, head of the New Democracy Party. They urged the Canadian Government to stand up to condemn the CCP's atrocities of removing organs from living people in labor camps and start an immediate investigation.

Canadian citizen Michelle Zhang said, "My sister Yunhe Zhang was abducted four years ago by police for practicing Falun Gong and her whereabouts have not been known since then. The police station, labor camps, and prisons all deny her presence. My family worries that she might have been killed or that she faces the danger of organ removal."

A majority of people knowing the truth came forward to sign the petition to urge the MP of their district to put forward a motion in parliament to stop the persecution of Falun Gong. Many people were shocked at the persecution and asked how to help the practitioners.

Ms. Jennifer Story, Assistant of MP Jack Layton and Mr. Bill Graham, secretary of Jack Layton accepted a petition letter and assured practitioners that they would transfer the letter to the MPs.

The SOS car tour finished visiting mayors' offices and MPs in 18 cities in the mid-west of Ontario Province and started to visit cities in eastern portion this week.

On Monday, April 10, the car tour visited five cities of Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa and Bowmanville, and five MPs, including two ministers, three members of Provincial Parliament and two mayors' offices along the way. The Mayor and Council Member attended the press conference in front of Oshawa city hall. Regarding the atrocity of organ removal, Mayor John Gray said it could not be accepted and everyone had the responsibility to stop the atrocities wherever they were. He said that he would discuss the issue at a city council meeting and have a resolution passed to urge the Canadian Federal Government to pay attention to the matter.

In talking about how the Canadian people can help stop the CCP's concentration camps, City Council Member Louise Parkes said the Canadian Government should invite independent organizations to investigate the CCP's concentration camps. If verified, the CCP regime should cooperate with the international community to solve the issue. There is freedom of belief in Canada and such freedom should be brought to China.

The car tour visited three cities of Cobourg, Belleville and Napanee, three mayors' offices, three members of provincial parliament and two MPs. The vice mayor of Cobourg accepted the practitioners' petition materials and had a group photo with the practitioners by local media.

The car tour collected many signatures calling on Canadian government to take immediate action to stop the persecution of Falun Gong. They visited 9 governmental officials and accepted interviews from six media.

Ms. Guo, a coordinator for the SOS car tour said, "The car tour travels the main cities in Ontario province to let more people know about the brutal persecution of Falun Gong in China, to urge the international community to take immediate action, and to rescue those practitioners facing organ removal and cremation in China."
