(Clearwisdom.net) Australia is hosting the APEC Senior Officials Meeting from January 15 to January 26, 2007, in the nation's capital, Canberra. The first day's meetings were held at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Falun Gong practitioners held a press conference outside the conference hall and called on attendees to support first-hand investigation of organ harvesting atrocities involving Falun Gong practitioners in China.

Ms. Kay Rubacek calls on people to unite and help stop the persecution of Falun Gong in China

A representative of the Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (CIPFG) in China introduced the coalition and called on APEC meeting attendees to join and support the coalition.

Australia Falun Dafa Association spokesperson Ms. Kay Rubacek mentioned that the CCP allows Taiwan to join APEC in the name of Taipei, China, but practitioners in Taiwan are free to practice Falun Gong. In Mainland China, hundreds of thousands of practitioners are unlawfully imprisoned, tortured to death or even used for live organ removal. She said that during the APEC Summit, practitioners will continue to demonstrate and hope all kind-hearted people will unite and help stop the persecution of Falun Gong in China.

The Australia Delegation of CIPFG has over seventy members, including Members of Parliament, specialists, scholars, and reporters. At a New Year's reception for the Australia chapter of the CIPFG, two city council members joined the CIPFG to thoroughly investigate the allegation of live organ removal. Council member Alan Green of Blacktown, New South Wales wrote to Minister of Foreign Affairs and questioned what the Australian government will do regarding the organ harvesting atrocities and gross violations of human rights in China.
