The Choice of Europe

On December 9 2013 six doctors and lawyers from North America Asia and Europe traveled to the United Nations headquarters in Geneva They handed over to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights a petition with 1.5 million signatures from around the world calling on the UN to investigate the Chinese Communist Party's alleged forced organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners At the same time in Strasbourg France members of the European Parliament are discussing a resolution condemning the CCP for harvesting organs from Falun Gong practitioners It may be the first time at the EU level that such a clear and unified condemnation of the CCP's treatment of Falun Gong practitioners has been expressed The cold winds of early December in Europe are biting Outside the European Parliament building in Brussels a group of people silently expressed their demands to the sound of soothing music The protest expressed a commitment to the Chinese people who share their beliefs with the CCP Especially the violent act of extracting organs from them Brochures were handed to members and staff entering and leaving the European Parliament The birthplace of fundamental values such as democracy freedom and human rights The lawmakers in the building are considering how to fulfill the duties and exercise the rights they are required to as representatives directly elected by the citizens of 28 European countries At the same time Falun Gong practitioners in Europe wrote letters or made phone calls to their country's Members of the European Parliament Urge them to pay attention to the crimes of the CCP's forced organ harvesting and pass a resolution to condemn this act We mainly focus on European democrats because I am a European citizen I would like to give you some updates regarding the issue of organ harvesting At first these issues were discussed at the high level They even said that the time was too short and that a resolution to censure should be passed but we continued At that time there was less than two weeks until the final vote on the resolution Although they said the time was too short I will not stop This is for the next issue I think with this belief and persistence this matter must go through I think this will also help them change In addition 15 international organizations or groups have sent letters to the European Parliament urging the Parliament to adopt this emergency resolution Therefore this condemnation of the CCP for extracting organs from prisoners of conscience especially Falun Gong practitioners resolution Began to take shape in the European Parliament and quickly gained the support of informed members This is a particularly shocking issue regarding Falun Gong and organ harvesting I would say we must send out a very clear message For us this is unacceptable it must stop now it must stop everywhere regardless of whether someone is for or against it In my organization I am the leader of this decision This is clearly a fundamental premise of our organization There is no controversy no opposition However the brutality of the organ harvesting accusation goes beyond the limits that people can accept Having experienced the genocide of the Nazis during World War II Yet again endured the iron-fisted rule and massacres of the Communist Party I had thought the inhumane pages of history remained sealed Walking through the spacious and bright parliamentary building The lawmakers could not imagine nor believe that while they were drinking coffee and handling documents people were being kept in camps on the other side of the Eurasian continent They were killed according to the demand for organ transplants That reminds me of 1941 Mr MacMillan Scott in the death camp He went to London and Washington trying to tell his allies what had happened in the death camps A famous judge named Felix Frankfurter He is of ethnic origin when asked by reporters you don 't believe the young man's story you call him a liar He said no I didn't say he was a liar I just said I couldn't believe what he said That's the real issue To prove the existence of organ harvesting Mr MacMillan Scott in 2006 personally traveled to mainland China Met with Niu Junping and Cao Dong two Falun Gong practitioners and compiled his investigation process and results into a report He said he could only tell me that he had a friend Another Falun Gong practitioner in the prison that friend one day disappeared then he saw his body that friend's body in the prison hospital In addition an independent investigation report written by a renowned human rights lawyer provides authoritative evidence of the exact existence of organ harvesting Our evidence and proof for us is a kind of evil that we have not yet seen In 2006 Canada's former Ambassador for Asia-Pacific David Matas and Canadian human rights lawyer David Matas Regarding the issue of harvesting organs from Falun Gong practitioners an independent investigation was launched and with the objective and rigorous approach characteristic of lawyers the detailed evidence and findings obtained were presented Compiled into the book "Bloodstained: The Live Organ Harvesting " they subsequently traveled to more than 40 countries around the world published their findings including the European Parliament Many legislators learned the truth about the CCP 's organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners through the visits of these two Davids and their authoritative investigation reports After the investigation report was released Falun Gong practitioners around the world began using every possible opportunity to inform people in various countries about the organ harvesting taking place in China Among them are survivors who narrowly escaped the fate of being organ-harvested Such survivors also arrived at the gates of the European Parliament Liu Yumei a Falun Gong practitioner rescued by the United Nations to Finland Her parents sister and husband were all persecuted and died or suffered unjustly because of their practice of Falun Gong She herself was once arrested nine times And was forced to suffer injuries She came specially from Finland as the first witness of persecution to enter the European Parliament The assistant of Finnish MP Agnes Salo Shared his personal experiences Liu Yumei herself once suffered from rheumatoid arthritis After practicing Falun Dafa for 40 days she was free from the disease But was severely disabled after being subjected to more than 30 types of torture during the CCP's nine illegal arrests and was in critical condition four times My father in his 70s was run over by a coal mine cart causing multiple fractures throughout his body The hospital was unwilling to perform surgery After returning home my father learned Falun Gong It can be put to work on the ground without taking too much time In this living cry of blood and tears the legislator's assistant's eyes turned red Under the joint efforts of informed legislators and Falun Gong practitioners the organ harvesting ceremony finally formed a formal resolution before the parliamentary session awaiting approval by vote On December 9th members of the European Parliament came to another parliamentary headquarters building in Strasbourg France for a plenary session as usual Walking through the warm building The legislators looked through the glass window at the fog and low temperature No slogans noise This group's way of petitioning is different from any other protest group yet demonstrated a resilient strength in silence The legislators began to wonder what was going on with the emergency resolution that would be voted on in three days I want to record Dante 's quote that the worst place in Hell is for those who remain neutral We are in a political crisis now so we should take action This day the European Parliament was not the only place discussing and reflecting on the moral crisis of organ harvesting and how to act At a pivotal international center in Geneva six doctors and lawyers from around the world arrived at the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights carrying a letter A thin letter carries 1.5 million heartfelt wishes from people all over the world each signed with care Nearly 1.5 million signatures have been scanned and burned onto CDs and have been sent from various countries since December 3rd to the United Nations Human Rights Council This signature campaign is initiated by an NGO called DAFO An increasing number of medical experts have joined DAFO and are traveling around the world to call for an end to the CCP's organ harvesting practices In the mid-2013 DAFO launched a global campaign to collect signatures calling on the public to pay attention to this violation of basic human values Criminal acts December 10th Human Rights Day Representatives of DAFO and their legal advisors by Lake Geneva regarding the submission of signatures to the United Nations A press conference was held The second day of the Geneva press conference another DAFO member rushed to Strasbourg France to attend the European Parliament' s vice president for human rights affairs Mr Mike Milan Scott Holds a press conference on organ harvesting for job hunting There was less than a day until the final vote on the resolution The last working day of the European Parliament in 2013 the legislators who had voted had already begun to leave the parliament building and outside the parliament building Falun Gong practitioners ' petition continues on the cold wind blows through their layers of clothing yet they have received unexpected warmth Around noon from inside the building A middle-aged woman in her forties came out after I greeted her she主动ly told me I am the chairman of the Human Rights Association I support you I have a blog Welcome to visit my blog Not only were there legislators but also legislative aides and translation staff coming out of the building they had come specifically for signing autographs and taking photos or to endure the cold wind Falun Gong practitioners silently petitioning express greetings a middle-aged man in his forties he said he is not a legislator But he very much hopes that they will come to our booth and sign in person to show their support Several people volunteered to say that what you are doing is very important and has made the truth clear to everyone It's too important thank you all On the evening of December 12th the legislators who had voted had already begun to leave the parliamentary headquarters building and the debate on this resolution Still continuing nervously inside the conference hall During the debate there were also some voices of doubt In response German MP Michelle Galler gave the following answer It was a very normal ecosystem A regular council meeting would have council members The council members in our meeting would be responsible for the council members It is the responsibility of the European Union to strongly condemn the actions of the Chinese government Touching on the core of human technology and basic human rights this resolution initiated by five of the seven parliamentary groups and supported by six groups ultimately was passed The resolution was passed with a majority of votes The resolution calls on the European Union and its member states to publicly condemn this unethical organ trade and inform European citizens The resolution also requires the President of the Assembly to forward the resolution to the European Commission the European Council the United Nations Human Rights Council and the Chinese government From the 2006 national debt organ exposure to the reports of two Davids being released and now to the European Parliament passing a resolution to publicly condemn this atrocity Nearly ten years have passed I think we have learned a lot during this process of support and now we are much clearer about what is going on in China and much more determined to continue our support and express our solidarity oward our Chinese friends now the legislators who initiated this resolution hope the Chinese people will understand this is a message of goodwill they have sent this resolution It is the decision of the European Parliament to do something which is a loyalty to the Chinese people I am very confident that this resolution will be welcomed positively by those who care I understand Sometimes China is like Russia thinking that the West is forcing it which is obviously nonsense because I think the West has no courage towards China itself and no courage towards Chinese thugs They are fearless and very brave this is very common I think this is all civilized countries This issue is not a simple political matter between parties Actually this issue concerns the future survival of all humanity because human society without the most basic sense of morality is hard to function
