A Crime of Evil in China
By Susan Steffen-Kraft
At first the Chinese government approved of this because it saved money on health costs which is a wonderful thing. But then, Falun Gong grew so rapidly that the Communist Government felt threatened as has happened so often with Communist regimes when they feel someone other then they are gaining group popularity and or a mass movement arises. In answer to this, the government brought about sudden and sweeping persecution which was launched to eradicate this practice of Falun Gong that meant so much to so many that they would brave the punishments, persecutions and other punishments.
The punishments for practicing this were reeducation which means they are sent to labor camps and or killed! The President of China. Mr. Jinug, in 1999 launched this persecution which has caused many Chinese citizens to view this Falun Gong with a jaundiced eye! No doubt most of that negative outlook was due to the propaganda promoted by the Chinese government who have a lot of expertise at manipulating the facts to an overall populace who in general, are still quite ignorant about change!
The value of a human life is as follows at the time I was given this paper....
Cornea: $30,000
Heart: $130,000-160,000
Liver: $98,000-130,000
Lung: $150,000-170,000
Kidney: $62,000
Kidney-Pancreas: $150,000
Thousands of transplants occur each year in China and the wait is small according to Epoch Times; a couple of weeks compared to waiting several years in other countries. Many from other countries travel to China to receive these organs little knowing or caring that a murder is being committed in order to give them their bloody reward for the big dollars they paid out.
Many Falun Gong practitioners that become prisoners are given blood tests which are possibly a preparation for harvesting the organs and some are extorted; but worst of all the organs are removed from the person while they are in shock but still alive.
“There has been sexual torture, including stripping 18 women of their clothes and forcing them into the jail cells of male criminal offenders to be gang-raped. Some women have been subjected to forced, late-term abortions. Many so-called “policemen” in China have exhibited the most base and inexcusable behaviour. One said: “Don’t you say you practice tolerance? I will see if you can tolerate it when I rape you!” They have ripped off our clothes in public and shocked us with electric batons. Iron wire has been used to pierce our nipples. They have sexually violated our bodies using eggplants, toothbrushes, and plastic water bottles. In one Female Labour Camp located in Jilin Province, the police inserted hot pepper powder into women’s vaginas in order to force them to give up their belief and practice of Falun Dafa. They have forced electric stun batons into female practitioners’ vaginas to torture and shock them...”
– Excerpt from a letter from female practitioners in China
When 91 people are killed from torture, 6415 were kept in prison without a trial, and 938 believers of this forbidden practice were tried and given a sentence for their beliefs then we can pretty much rest assured that China has not really changed. Beneath the surface control of everything still reigns supreme.
Many practitioners of Falun Gong are subjected to brainwashing and the older Chinese woman I met in downtown Boise, Idaho who was asking for passersby to sign the petition against this had been through this brainwashing. It was very sad and I was so glad to have met her and be able to tell her Ni hen mei Nai Nai! A friend of mine who had been to China helped me to say that.
The smile that lit up her face was simply awesome.
I have no clue how she made her long journey to this country and survived or what she went through over there! But I do know she did get here and along with her husband, and her daughter in law was one of those asking people to sign the petitions. Still bravely fighting against the wrongs perpetrated against the people who practice Falun Gong!
Because China sensors so much of the information that comes out of their country the number of cases stated above are probably much higher then what is shown. As for the 2013 report it rose 29.8 percent more for 2014 in the cases of detaining people. China tries to put out the case that they are becoming more and more civilized but behind closed doors we truly do not see many of the real facts.
Even Chinese rights lawyers get persecuted for defending the followers of the practice of Falun Gong. At one point eight lawyers braved possible beatings to get into the courthouse to defend the practitioners of this art. This came nine months after four other lawyers for attempting the same thing. The article was by Luo Ya and appeared in the Epoch Times on Dec. 18. 2014. Lawyers no less being treated this way because they wished to defend clients. Does it get any worse then that?
In the states of California and Nevada we have governors and mayors who are being pressured by the Chinese embassy staff to stop them from proclaiming Falun Dafa Week” in their cities, while university deans have been told not to allow Falun Gong clubs on campus". We must owe China a lot, or are terribly afraid of them to allow them to come here in this country and put pressure on our governors and mayors. What is going on that we do not as a country stand up and condemn this type of persecution. And we must ask the question; what hold does China have over the U.S. of America.
The videos below add more information to what I have written. If you have any House of Representatives who can co-sponsor H.Res.281 ask them to. Perhaps you can saves lives in China by demanding Live Organ Harvesting in China!
