Prague, April 22 (CTK) - Czech Falun Gong members today staged a protest against violent practices and removal of organs from living Falun Gong members in secret death camps in China at Prague's Old Town Square. They demonstrated the removal of the organs while alive by a fictitious operation right under the Prague's Astronomical Clock.

The protest reacted to the events of the past weeks when, as the protesters said, it had turned out on what practices the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist party had agreed. "Its members agreed that Falun Gong members should be treated as class enemies who are not considered human beings, but material for trade," activist Jan Lokos told CTK. In early March, the daily Epoch Times published a report about the existence of a secret concentration camp Sujiatun. In it, organs are operated out of Falun Gong members while alive and then they are sold to Chinese medical facilities for tremendous sums. The bodies are burnt after the surgeries, the daily wrote. The daily also brought the report by an army doctor saying that there are 36 secret concentration camps in China. After the news was published, Falun Gong members were removed to different places, the Epoch Times wrote. "We are staging similar protests across the Czech Republic so that the public knows what is going on and to sign our petition we will send to the government, the prime minister, the president and the United Nations," Lokos said.
