(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Gong practitioners from across Japan gathered on July 30, 2006 in Nagoya to hold a rally and parade protesting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) persecution. They also called for an end to the CCP's harvesting and trading organs from living Falun Gong practitioners, and putting an end to the CCP persecution of Falun Gong.

China (CCP): Stop Persecuting Falun Gong

Falun Gong practitioners used various means including an anti-torture exhibit, reenactment of the CCP live organ harvesting, and display boards to expose to passersby the CCP persecution of Falun Gong that has persisted for seven years, particularly its evil deeds recently exposed about harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners for profit. They called on people to support a thorough investigation into this revelation, and support anti-persecution efforts.

At the rally site, Falun Gong practitioners reenacted the CCP live organ harvesting, and torture methods used in forced labor camps by merciless guards to force Falun Gong practitioners to give up their beliefs. The torture methods they demonstrated included the tiger bench, beating while being hung up, hammering bamboo spikes into fingernails and being locked in small cell.

Two practitioners took turns introducing through a megaphone what Falun Gong is, why the CCP persecutes Falun Gong and the CCP crimes recently exposed about systematic harvesting of organs from living Falun Gong practitioners for profit. They called for people's attention and help to stop the persecution.

One of the two practitioners said, "Recently, a Canadian independent investigation team concluded that the allegations of the CCP harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners and then illegally trading them are true. The Canadian government expressed taking action after learning about it. Japanese people should also take such brutality seriously, and voice concern to stop the persecution."

Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Yoko Kaneko, who was once illegally detained for eighteen months by the CCP for distributing fliers exposing the CCP persecution of Falun Gong, said at the rally, "Around October 2002, I was illegally detained in Beijing Women's Forced Labor Camp. All Falun Gong practitioners illegally detained there were given a physical check-up. We all were very surprised at the time. I wondered that with the CCP persecution of Falun Gong policy being to 'destroy practitioners physically,' 'beating practitioners to death is counted as suicide,' how could it be concerned about Falun Gong practitioners' health? After the revelation of the CCP harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners and illegally trading them, I eventually realized that its purpose was to establish an archive for organ transplants. If I was not rescued, I may have been one of the victims who have had their organs harvested while still alive."

A representative of the Japanese Falun Dafa Association said to the reporter, "The purpose of today's activity is to end the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong as soon as possible. The CCP's acts of harvesting and trading organs from living Falun Gong practitioners are shocking and horrifying. Japan will also form a special investigation team to China, to conduct an independent investigation into the CCP's harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners. Certainly, we also can assume that the CCP will hamper this action. There have been righteous people in Japan who want to participate in the special investigation team."

He also said that the medical field in Japan, especially the organ transplant field, has learned about these crimes happening in China. We hope to stop the CCP's mass killing and soon release all illegally detained Falun Gong practitioners.

In the afternoon, Falun Gong practitioners held a parade in downtown Nagoya. At the same time, they passed out fliers exposing the CCP systematic harvesting and trading organs from living Falun Gong practitioners.
