Medical Professional's White House Protest Catches Public Attention (Photos)
Wenyi Wang demands that Chinese Communist
Chairman Hu Jintao end the persecution of Falun Gong during a ceremony on the south
lawn of the White House on April 20, 2006 (Clearwisdom.net) On the morning on April 20, Chinese Communist Party
leader Hu Jintao visited the White House. At the welcoming ceremony on the
south lawn, a Chinese woman suddenly appeared next to a camera which was filming
the ceremony and unfurled a yellow banner after President Bush's speech. She
also shouted messages in both Chinese and English such as, "Falun Dafa is good",
and "Stop the Persecution of Falun Gong". Her brave act shocked everyone present.
After a protest lasting more than two minutes, she was taken away by
security. According to a report on CNN, the Chinese Communist regime's
live broadcast of the meeting was consequently suspended. An investigation reveals that the woman
is Dr. Wenyi Wang, a Chinese American. Dr Wang graduated from Bethune University of Medicine in Jinlin
province, China. She came to the United States 16 years ago to study western
medicine and received a PhD from the University of Chicago. She is a practicing
physician in the New York Mount Sinai Hospital and she is a Falun Gong
practitioner. According
to an investigation by the CIPFG (Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of
Falun Gong), the Chinese Communist regime is organizing its resources to
destroy eyewitnesses and evidence of its underground concentration camps before
May 1. Consequently, many hospitals around the nation are working overtime to
perform transplant operations, and the organs for these operations are coming
from those eyewitnesses, the Falun Gong practitioners. Consequently, the
international community must take urgent actions to investigate and stop the
atrocities. The Minghui/Clearwisdom notes that MSNBC broadcasted Dr Wang's
protest and then interviewed Christopher H. Smith,
Chairperson of the House Subcommittee on Africa, Global Human Rights and
International Operations. Both the MSNBC reporter and Congressman Smith gave
positive, in-depth comments on the protest. Dr.
Wang has played a very important role in the investigation of claims that the
CCP is harvesting organs from living
practitioners. She has been able to use her medical expertise to help evaluate
the reports of organ harvesting and had direct contact with the two original
witnesses to the atrocities. She was shocked by the crimes that were revealed.
However, this organ harvesting claim was not even mentioned during a Congressional
human rights hearing on China which coincided with the Chinese Communist
Chairman's visit . Dr Wang was very much saddened. When
interviewed by Sound of Hope Radio, Dr Wang said that evidence has indicated that
the Chinese Communist regime gave orders to secretly steal and sell Falun Gong
practitioners' organs in 2001. She compared this crime to the holocaust. She
said that her act was completely her own and was not influenced by any groups
or organizations. As
the voice of protest was very clear in the live broadcast, many media also
turned their camcorders to the crowd of protestors and Hu Jintao was apparently
upset, showing an embarrassed expression. A huge crowd of Falun Gong
practitioners was protesting outside the White House and the Chinese Communist
officials present at the site all seemed very nervous. After finishing his
speech, Hu even walked away in the wrong direction and President Bush had to
drag him back. At 2:00 p.m. on March 16, a House
hearing, "Monitoring Respect for Human Rights Around the World: A Review
of the Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2005" - was
held at the Rayburn House Office Building in Washington, DC. Congressman Smith
said at the hearing: "human rights are not a compromise or welfare given by a
government, but are the basic rights of everyone based on human beings' dignity
and worth." Mr. Smith said that some human rights are
fundamental and are the foundation of other rights. Among them, the right to
live is foremost. If one's life is endangered, all other rights will become
meaningless. Therefore, every life is of paramount importance. |
