The Daily Union (Junction City, Kansas): Road Trip Seeks End to Torment


Sept. 24, 2006

Four women drove across Kansas in hopes of gaining support for Falun Gong practitioners. They stopped at the Dorothy Bramlage Public Library Thursday.

According to Felice Boewe, a practitioner, Falun Gong is an advanced practice of the mind and body deeply rooted in traditional Chinese culture.

Since its introduction in May 1992 by Li Hongzhi, in China, 80 countries have practitioners.

Boewe said the reason for the tour is to let citizens know that China is punishing Chinese practitioners.

"Falun Gong practitioners are being locked up in a concentration camp and their organs are being harvested for transplant operations," Boewe said.

A report by David Matas and David Kilgour claims the communist government is arresting and killing practitioners for profit and control.

Matas and Kilgour studied the persecution and published their findings July 6 detailing evidence of the transplants and deaths. The report can be found at [organharvestinvestigation.net.]

Inspired by this report, Kansas Falun Gong practitioners conducted an "SOS Car Tour" to expose the persecution in China. The group started Sept. 18 and ended Thursday in Abilene. They gave information to local government officials, libraries and media.

"The communist party is not comfortable not controlling the minds of its people," Boewe said.
