“Nobody has yet to come out,” Government Insider Reveals
Sydney(FDI)
– The Falun Dafa Information Center in New York 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 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.
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 to 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 FDI spokesperson Mr. Erping Zhang. “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 [Gong] 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. Zhang,
“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, is a practice of the Buddha School, consisting
of meditation and exercises, with teachings that emphasize living by three principles:
truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance. Originating in China, Falun Gong is now
practiced in over 70 countries. With Chinese government estimates of 100 million
practicing Falun Gong in China, in July 1999 the Chinese Communist Party-state
launched a nationwide, violent campaign to “eradicate” the practice.
The Falun Dafa Information Center has verified details of 2,840 deaths and over
44,000 cases of torture. Millions have been detained or sent to forced labor camps.
