Malaysia: Practitioners Call on Lawyers to Help Stop the Persecution (Photos) By a practitioner in Malaysia
(Clearwisdom.net) On August 18, the Malaysia Bar Council held a
large-scale signature collection event to protect lawyers' rights in Kuala
Lumpur. A total of 3,400 lawyers participated in the event. Falun Gong
practitioners distributed truth-clarification materials on site and
the Canadian "Report into Allegations of Organ Harvesting of Falun Gong
Practitioners in China." Practitioners called on righteous lawyers to
assist in the investigation. Several hundreds copies of the materials were
distributed in just over an hour. Practitioners distributed the independent investigation report by former
Canadian Member of Parliament David Kilgour and Canadian human rights lawyer,
David Matas, outside the conference hall after obtaining permission from the
secretary of the Bar Council. Many lawyers said they had heard of Falun Gong
when accepting the investigation report. Some talked with practitioners about
the lack of human rights for Falun Gong practitioners in China. Some came to ask
for a copy of the report after seeing others with it. "Live organ removal! My God! I really hope I can help you!" a woman
lawyer said, appalled. Some lawyers knew Falun Gong well and supported the practitioners. A staff
person distributing information of the Bar Council said of the practitioners
approvingly, "They are doing human rights work." Practitioner Mr. Zhao said, "It is important to have the Malaysia law
circle know the facts of Falun Gong. We hope that righteous lawyers in Malaysia
will help stop the inhumane persecution of Falun Gong."
