Canada: Car Tour to Visit All Provinces to Call for Action to End Illegal Organ Harvesting (Photos)
(Clearwisdom.net) The Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) atrocities of
harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners were exposed in March
2006. In April, Ontario practitioners formed an "SOS Car Tour" team to
raise awareness of the atrocities throughout the province. During the car tour, the practitioners visited a number of cities including
Pickering, Whitby, Oshawa, Barrie, Saint Thomas, Niagara Falls, Kingston,
Newmarket and Peterborough. They collected countless signatures, visited offices
of every Mayor, provincial representative and Member of Parliament and gave
interviews to various media outlets. On July 18 and 19, after the Canadian report on organ harvesting was
released, five practitioners visited two large cities in northwest Ontario,
Sudbury and Sault Ste. Marie. The Sudbury Star and Sault Star (the
largest newspaper in the two cities respectively) and CTV all reported on the
truth of the CCP atrocities of harvesting organs form detained Falun Gong
practitioners and practitioners' appeal for help from all levels of the Canadian
government. The Sudbury Star reported: "Looking into the allegation that
Falun Gong members were being killed for organ donation purposes, the report [by
Kilgour and Matas] concluded the allegation was true. It determined that the
body parts being removed included hearts, kidneys, livers and corneas, which
were sold at high prices." Other practitioners will take different routes to visit other provinces
including Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Quebec, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland
and Labrador to appeal for help from all level of the Canadian government and
the public to end the killing. During a previous "SOS! Stop the Persecution
of Falun Gong" car tour, the Oshawa city government passed a resolution
which condemned the CCP's persecution and requested the federal government to
pressure the CCP to end the persecution. |
