March 9, 2006, a Chinese journalist who escaped to the U.S. revealed to The Epoch Times newspaper the existence of a secret concentration camp in Sujiatun, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province. At one point, more than 6,000 Falun Gong practitioners were held there, according to the journalist.  Soon afterward, another witness confirmed the report of these crimes. According to this witness, about 4,000 victims, many still alive, had their organs harvested and sold for huge profit, including kidneys, corneas, hearts, lungs, skin, and livers. The remaining prisoners could lose their lives at any time.

Investigations by the World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG) have shown that there is an extremely large live organ supply bank in the Shenyang area. In other areas such as Henan Province, Shandong Province, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Beijing, Tianjin, Liaoning Province, Hunan Province and Hubei Province, hospital staff and directly participating doctors have expressed that they can provide Falun Gong practitioners' organs. Based on this initial investigation, we can conclude that the Sujiatun concentration camp is not the only one where live organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners for transplant purposes has taken place.

Our solemn promise of "Never Again" made 60 years ago in response to the Nazi concentration camps still echoes in the civilized world, and yet similar tragedies are happening again amidst our silence. The persecution of Falun Gong and the exposure of the unforgivable crimes occurring within the concentration camps like Sujiatun, in the world's most populous country, are the heaviest blows to humanity and modern civilization.

We have no reason to stay silent; if we do, we condone the regime's actions and become unwitting participants in persecution.

With the nationwide van tour, we urgently calls for the following actions:

• President Bush and/or Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to ask Chinese leader Hu Jintao, who will be visiting the U.S, to disband the all the concentration camps and immediately release all incarcerated Falun Gong practitioners.
• President Bush and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice support the formation of an international investigation team to conduct unrestricted investigations of concentration camps and the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China. The team should consist of human rights observers from various countries, the United Nations Commission on Human Rights and the Committee Against Torture, international human rights organizations, and representatives of Falun Gong practitioners.

Such actions are not only vital to the thousands of prisoners who are facing death at any moment, but also critical to each of us. What is our reaction upon learning about such crimes against humanity?  What should we do to protect the victims and, more importantly, our civilization, thus ultimately protect us and our children? 

*Van Tour to Washington DC      *Raise the awareness to Stop the Organ Harvesting and Genocide!
