Falun Dafa Association of Canada Writes to Prime Minister and Cabinet Ministers to Request Urgent Actions to Stop CCP's Atrocities
July 14, 2006 Re: Urging Canada to condemn horrific organ harvesting of
Falun Gong practitioners in China and help stop the persecution and mass killing
of Falun Gong practitioners Dear Prime Minister, Falun Dafa Association of Canada requests urgent action by
the government of Canada with respect to the findings in the recent "Report
into Allegations of Organ Harvesting of Falun Gong Practitioners in China."
This report, released July 6, was the result of an independent investigation by
human rights lawyer Mr. David Matas and former M.P. Hon. David Kilgour. They
concluded that the allegations are true and considered that "organ
harvesting of unwilling donors where it is either systematic or widespread is a
crime against humanity." "We believe that there has been and continues today to
be large scale organ seizures from unwilling Falun Gong practitioners. We have
concluded that the government of China and its agencies in numerous parts of
the country, in particular hospitals but also detention centres and 'people's
courts', since 1999 have put to death a large but unknown number of Falun Gong
prisoners of conscience. Their vital organs, including hearts, kidneys, livers
and corneas, were virtually simultaneously seized involuntarily for sale at
high prices, sometimes to foreigners, who normally face long waits for
voluntary donations of such organs in their home countries." After assessing 18 elements of evidence that the authors
submitted were "verifiable and in most cases incontestable," the
report stated that the horrific organ seizures represented a grotesque form of
evil that is new to this planet. Since former Chinese president Jiang Zemin launched the
persecution of Falun Gong in July 1999, the report noted that the Chinese
Communist Party's (CCP's) policy on Falun Gong has been to "defame their
reputation, bankrupt them financially, and destroy them physically."
"The policy of repression of the Falun Gong means that they are in prison
without rights, at the disposition of corrupt authorities. The incitement to
hatred against the Falun Gong and their dehumanization means that they can be
butchered and killed without qualms by those who buy into this official hate
propaganda." Mr. Kilgour and Mr. Matas submitted that "The increase
in organ transplants in China parallels the increase in persecution of the Falun
Gong" and that approximately 41,500 transplants performed from 2000 to 2005
have no identifiable source. They observed that "The allegation of organ
harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners provides an answer," considering
the massive arrests, repression and hate incitement targeting Falun Gong as well
as other evidence, including: According to Paris-based Intelligence Online, in June CCP
authorities reportedly assigned Deputy Minister of Public Security Liu Jing the
task of "stamping out" Falun Gong before the Beijing Olympic Games in
2008. * * * The state-orchestrated slaughter to harvest organs from Falun
Gong practitioners conforms to the CCP's "eradication" campaign
against Falun Gong that has persisted for seven years. As practitioners
persevere using peaceful means to call for an end to the persecution, men,
women, and children continue to be murdered for their upright belief. This
report tells the world that it must no longer underestimate and ignore the evil
that these crimes against humanity represent. They are an attack on the moral
conscience of all human beings. Canada needs to end its policy of appeasement in
the face of Communist China's human rights atrocities as soon as possible. We call on the Canadian government to: Canadians must stand up to stop this unbelievable atrocity in
China. Only by protecting the safety and wellbeing of our fellow world citizens
can we truly protect the integrity and dignity of our own country. There truly
is no other choice we can make as human beings. We respectfully request a meeting with you to provide more
detailed information. We thank you for your attention and look forward to
hearing from you. Sincerely, Xun Li, Cc: all MPs and Senators Report by Hon.
