    EFGIC: Concentration Camp for Falun Gong Disclosed; Prisoners Killed for Organ Harvesting
    “Nobody has yet come out,” Chinese Government Insider Reveals
    Press Release - Mar. 09, 2006 European Falun Gong Information Centre

    BRUSSELS (EFGIC) — Since the Nuremberg Trials came to a close in 1946, condemning the Nazi officials responsible for the holocaust, it has been the common hope of the people in the world that concentration camps like Auschwitz, Buchenwald and Dachau, would never again emerge in the history of mankind. The horrifying fact is that a similar facility is at this very moment in operation in China.

    The European Falun Gong Information Centre received shocking, detailed information on Wednesday from a Chinese Communist Party insider documenting a concentration camp set up in Shenyang city, Liaoning province, expressly for Falun Gong practitioners. The news comes on the heels of the U.S. Department of State’s 2005 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices, released Wednesday; the report documents continued, systematic abuses of the Falun Gong in China. (full report)

    Information about the camp was relayed via audio recording from a former intelligence agent of the Chinese government. It is the first time news of the secret camp’s existence was disclosed to outsiders. The camp is said to hold over 6,000 Falun Gong adherents at any given time, and “nobody has yet come out” from it alive. According to the source, it contains a crematorium, and an unusually large number of doctors work there—reflecting the camp’s practice of killing prisoners for their organs, which are then sold for profit.

    The source tried to convey the horror of what is happening in the concentration camp: “Why was a crematorium built, and why are so many doctors housed there? … The answer is something unimaginable. You must be clear that a cremator for bodies is different than a burner used for sanitation purposes.”

    Located in the Sujiatun district of Shenyang city, the camp, dubbed the Sujiatun Concentration Camp, is surrounded by walls three meters high topped with electrified barbed wire. It is heavily fortified and said to be highly secret; locals know close to nothing about it. Those held inside are Falun Gong adherents from China’s three northeastern provinces as well as central China; many are said to have been transferred there from various labor camps. CCP authorities involved with the camp have “learned many things from North Korea,” according to the source.

    “This is deeply, terribly disturbing, and confirms our worst fears: that CCP authorities remain intent on ‘eradicating’ Falun Gong, and in their desperation will go to any lengths,” stated EFGIC spokesperson Mr. Peter Jauhal. “We need to be clear that the persecution has not gone away—it has merely become darker and more hidden.”

    The Chinese government source spoke at length about the unlawful “harvesting” of organs in the Sujiatun facility. “If Falun Dafa practitioners are sent to Sujiatun,” he said, “they have no chance of coming out … The CCP won’t let a prisoner consume food forever. So what are they up to, then? … the Falun Dafa practitioners are killed for their organs, which are sent off to various medical facilities. Organ sales is now a highly profitable business in China.”

    “They can’t find enough bodies through executions, and no bodies are more readily available for this business than those of the [Falun Dafa] practitioners,” he stated.

    Warning signs have surfaced in recent months.

    Last June CCP authorities reportedly held a “crisis meeting” in which China’s deputy minister of Public Security, Liu Jing, was assigned the job of “stamping out” Falun Gong “before the Olympic Games in 2008,” according to the Paris-based Intelligence Online. Several reports have stated that authorities wish to use the Olympics as a pretext to deepen their assault on the Falun Gong.

    This past January Chinese officials similarly announced a “new campaign” that would supposedly “sabotage activities of cult organizations” as part of a “complex struggle against enemies,” according to a Reuters report. Past campaigns to “strike hard” have resulted in upwards of 10,000-plus executions in a single year, say human rights groups.

    Word of concentration camps for Falun Gong practitioners has circulated for several years. An October 1, 2000, report by Agence France Presse told of two concentration camps having been recently built, both specifically for Falun Gong detainees. The camps were said to have been built in northwest and northeast China, and been capable of each holding up to 50,000 persons.

    An October 6, 2000, report on Minghui.net stated that a concentration camp, expressly for the Falun Gong, had been built in the remote northwestern province of Xinjiang. Chinese sources report seeing Falun Gong adherents shipped off on trains to the Xinjiang camp. Little to no information on the secretive camp has emerged. No one to date is known to have come back from the camp.

    Stated Mr. Jauhal, “International media and governments around the world must pay attention to this and take active measures to investigate the concentration camp and put a stop to this barbarity and madness. We are calling for all possible support from international organizations. There must be accountability in China. If this is the price people are paying for our silence, it is chillingly tragic.”

    Background

    Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa (about), is a practice of the Buddha School, consisting of meditation and exercises, with teachings that emphasise living by three principles: truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance. Originating in China, Falun Gong is now practised in over 70 countries countries. With Chinese government estimates of 100 million China practising Falun Gong in China, in July 1999 the Chinese Communist Party-state launched a nationwide, violent campaign to “eradicate” the practice. The European Falun Gong Information Centre has verified details of 2,840 deaths and over 44,000 cases of torture (Reports / Sources). Millions have been detained or sent to forced labour camps.

    Firstly, welcome to Boards.ie :)

    Secondly, as a general rule, and to not invoke the rath of the mods, it is not a good idea to post large articles on Boards.ie with no person comment or view point.

    Post your comments and views on the event and link to the article for further reading. This is a discussion board after all, not a bullettin board or magazine. When starting threads you should make some attempt to start a conversation.

    More than happy to post an opinion.

    I believe this news posted above may be the worst crime man has commited against man since the persecution of the Jews by hitler. Think for a moment, there are people in an underground labour camp who are being kept alive for their organs, and then are being killed for organs when they are needed by some one else.

    Falun Gong human rights reports in the past have proved to be correct but it takes western media and government years before they accept it, and when they do they are already numb to it.

    Genocide proceedings have been taken in courts around the world to stop what is going on in China re Falun Gong, but again the judical process is toooo slow.

    At the moment if you talk to human rights groups, reporters, gov officals they will agree with you that this is happening but what is the point in just agreeing. Can they please do something about it.

    As for the argument that I saw some government officals use: 'if we dont get a foothold in China we will be left behind'. So while we know about their problems we are willing ignore them for money. The things that are surfacing are more and more gruesome. Falun Gong info centre reports 3,000 people or just under this figure have died due to torture or persecution. This figure only includes those deaths could be verified. What about the others, what has happened to them?

    My opinion is that our government should be doing more than they are to stop this.

    If it is hapening there is nothing any govt. can do about it (even if they wanted to).

    Look at the crap Mao Zedong pulled and then he was buddying up to Nixon maybe 20 or so years after wiping out God knows million people!

    China is now a very, very, very powerful country which makes it extremely unlikely that any Western govt. will say boo.

    In fairness the Falun Gong centre is hardly the most unbiased source. Got anything from someone more impartial. This seems right up Amnesty Internationals alley


  • Registered Users Posts: 21,264 ✭✭✭✭Hobbes


    It mentions it has audio/video. You have a link to that?

    also afair Organ Harvesting is nothing new. If your on death row in China your up for harvesting.

    This has more information. There are millions of Falun Gong practitioners in China so I think that they will be the first to get the info and report it. Other reports so far are just from the original I sent. Check out www.clearwisdom.net I think they have now discovered the location of the contentration camp and more people who have wittnessed what has gone on there have come foward.

    Can you provide links to some of the more recent history, specifically with regard to the CCP's motivations for oppressing this group?

    I think this link best desribes why Falun Gong is persecuted by the Chinese Communist party:http://english.epochtimes.com/tools/printer.asp?id=24972

    (update on organ harvesting story)
    Have a read of the website below. It is a webpage advertising for organ transplantation at the cheapest prices in the world. Calling itself
    "China International Transplantation Network Assistance Center". Do you know why it says its better than all the other transplantation centres in the world ... because they say they transplant from live donors. It says that the organs are donated by volunteers and it also says that the organ is not part of the price it is free. Does anyone believe that? These transplation centre is in the same city as Falun Gong claim the concentration camp for organ harvesting is.

    China International Transplantation Network Assistance Center
    > http://www.zoukiishoku.com
    > http://en.zoukiishoku.com/list/facts.htm

    In the Question and Answer section they basically say that their organs
    come from living donors. Implying that they have the competitive
    advantage in the field of organ transplantation because in other
    countries the organs are not from living donors.

    Q.Is it possible to be infected with other diseases such as HIV or
    hepatitis after the kidney transplantation?
    A:It is not necessary to worry about that. The biggest problem with a
    *kidney transplantation * is the tissue match. Before the *living kidney
    transplantation *, we will examine the donors renal function and
    leukocyte in order to assure the safety of the *kidney *. So it is more
    safe and reliable here than in other countries, where the organ is not
    from a living donor.
