Saving People and Our Conscience
By Li Ming
(Clearwisdom.net) In our daily life, when we are driving and hear the
sirens from an ambulance or fire truck, people would automatically slow down or
stop the car by the side of the street, so the ambulance or fire truck can pass
as fast as it can. Because people know the urgency of saving people and putting
out a fire, that is a reflection of one's conscience. No one would stop the
ambulance or fire truck and ask for proof for such urgency. On March 9, 2006, the first eyewitness disclosed the secret concentration
camp on the Minghui website, and on the same day, the Epoch Times published a
detailed disclosure from the same eyewitness. The witness confirmed that the
concentration camp had a crematorium and detained 6,000 Falun Gong
practitioners. Once their organs were taken while they were still alive, their
bodies were cremated immediately. The witness did not elaborate that the peak of
the activities was during 2000-2003. At present, the killing for profit has
slightly decreased, but the crimes still continue. Afterwards, another witness, the ex-wife of a surgeon, provided more
evidence. She mentioned that the liver, kidneys, and corneas were taken from a
living person, and then the body was thrown into the incinerator. Sujiatun
Concentration Camp started to operate in 2001, and its activities reached their
peak in 2002. There were 6,000 Falun Gong practitioners imprisoned in the camp,
and so far none has walked out alive. Corneas were taken mostly from children
and older inmates. The ex-husband of this witness was deeply tormented by the
brutality of what was happening. The third witness, an older military doctor from the Shenyang area, stepped
forward and confirmed the existence of the Sujiatun Concentration Camp, the
prevalence of organ snatching and subsequent cremation. In addition, he pointed
out that Sujiatun was only one of 36 such concentration camps in China. He also
said that transporting thousands of people took only one day with a cargo train,
which would be carried out at night with fully armed personnel. Since Falun Gong
practioners have been classified as "class enemies", the methods used
to deal with them are different. After the Sujiatun incident was exposed, on March 27, the CCP hurriedly
announced the "Human Organ Transplant Clinical Application Management
Interim Provisions" notification and set the effective date as July 1,
2006. Analysts pointed out that this time lag is plenty long enough to destroy
evidence of the crimes. On March 28, three weeks after the exposure of
Sujiatun, a spokesman for China's Foreign Affairs Ministry openly denied
the existence of Sujiatun Concentration Camp during a routine press conference
and claimed that reporters from all over the world could go to China to do an
inspection. It was clear that the reporters were invited for an on-site
inspection only after the CCP removed evidence in the three weeks following
their exposure. On April 5, 2006, an announcement from the "International Committee to
Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong On-site in China"(ICIPO) pointed
out that reports from China indicated organ harvesting activities started in
2001 and there were concentration camps, similar to the one in Sujiatun, all
over China. Falun Gong practitioners were secretly imprisoned in concentrations
camps and their organs were harvested for profit, and then the bodies were
cremated to eliminate evidence. History has left us with unforgettable lessons, such as during World War II,
when the Nazis in Germany used the Jews, young and old, for live physical
experiments. After the first witness reported the massive killings in the
concentration camps, Western countries, including the United State, failed to
pay much attention and waited for more evidence to come forth. Thus, the crimes
of the Nazis continued for two more years, meanwhile 2,500,000 Jews were killed.
When World War II ended, the international community made a solemn commitment
that such a human tragedy would never again happen. Today, 60 years later,
history is giving mankind another opportunity to right what is wrong. With the
CCP killing Falun Gong practitioners daily, let's see whether human beings truly
treasure such an opportunity. The establishment of ICIPO provides us with an opportunity to save more
lives. Let us help by speaking up and supporting their efforts to end this
terrible persecution.
