(Clearwisdom.net) On October 20, 2007, the Southeast Asia Democracy Coalition gave a letter of recognition to the World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG) for its persistent efforts in supporting human rights. A WOIPFG representative spoke at the meeting, held by the Cuban Liberty Council at the Marriott Hotel in Miami, Florida.

The representative said the mission of the WOIPFG is "To investigate the criminal conduct of all institutions, organizations, and individuals involved in the persecution of Falun Gong; to bring such investigation, no matter how long it takes, no matter how far and deep we have to search, to full closure. The primary focus is to investigate accusations that the CCP illegally harvests organs from living Falun Gong practitioners. David Kilgour, former Canadian MP and Secretary of the State (Asia-Pacific), and renowned human rights lawyer David Matas published a detailed report into the allegations. Sufficient evidence shows that the CCP is profiting from the live organ trade of Falun Gong practitioners in China. Falun Gong practitioners who went to appeal for Falun Gong but refused to tell the police their names were the main targets of the killing. The crimes reached a climax and became semi-overt around the year 2003; now it has turned into a secret operation and is continuing. This is a systematic crime conducted under the protection and with the cooperation of the CCP's judicial system. Organ transplant facilities affiliated with the military and armed police hospitals are one of major systems that are suspected of being involved with harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners.

In the past eight years of persecution, the CCP has arrested, imprisoned, and tortured millions of Falun Gong practitioners. The CCP also persecutes democratic dissidents, Christians, and leaders of home churches. However since the publication of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, more than 27 million Chinese people have quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations, including people who are high-ranking officials in the Party, political and military fields.

The WOIPFG representative explained that when the CCP, the world's largest totalitarian regime, collapses, all other communist dictatorships will disintegrate as well.

The Miami event included the Southeast Asia Democracy Coalition meeting with several Cuban democratic groups to discuss issues of democracy and human rights around the world. Southeast Asia Democracy Coalition representatives from Laos, Cambodia, China, Vietnam, and Bangladesh attended, as well as members of the Cuban Liberty Council, the Cuban Overseas United Government, the Cuban Solidarity, and the Cuban Patriotic Board, along with the WOIPFG.
