Geneva, Switzerland: Grand Parade Supporting the Withdrawals from the CCP and Exposing the Sujiatun Atrocities (Photos)
(Clearwisdom.net) "Quit the CCP, Quit the CCP and Quit the CCP quickly!" The slogan in Chinese, English and French echoed through the streets from the Geneva city center to the United Nations Square. On April 4th, 2006, over five hundred people from many countries joined a rally organized by the European Epoch Times newspaper, protesting against atrocities in the Sujiatun Concentration Camp set up by the Chinese Communist regime and supporting over nine million people who have quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations. Many Falun Gong practitioners joined this demonstration to expose the Chinese Communist regime's brutal persecution of Falun Gong.
According to information from the latest witness, the Sujiatun Concentration Camp in Shenyang City is one of thirty-six secret concentration camps built by the Chinese Communist regime. In the Sujiatun Concentration Camp, the Chinese Communist regime has detained thousands of Falun Gong practitioners, removing their organs for commercial profits while they are still alive and then cremating their bodies to destroy the evidence.
The parade marched along the bank of Lake Geneva, through the busiest business district, the grand fountain (Jet d'Eau) and finally arrived at the United Nations Geneva office, the Palais des Nations, where a press conference was held.
The most eye-catching sections of the parade were ten life-sized sculptural groups at the front of the procession. The sculptures displayed the crimes of the CCP described in the "Nine Commentaries on Communist Party", including torture methods used by the Chinese Communist regime against Falun Gong practitioners. Many passersby stopped to see the sculptures and pictures in the parade showing the torture and the banners calling for the immediate end to the persecution and killing as well as supporting the withdrawals from the Chinese Communist Party.
At the Palais des Nations, a reporter interviewed Mr. Zhu, a Falun Gong practitioner from the United Kingdom. Mr. Zhu works for a local government agency. He used his vacation time and his own money to come join this activity in Geneva where the United Nations' Human Rights Commission is located. He said to the reporter, "The atrocities committed in the Sujiatun Concentration Camp are an insult and threat to the whole of humanity. As a Faun Gong practitioner, I witnessed the persecution in China for so long and I think I have the responsibility to expose the evil nature of the Chinese Communist regime. For seven years, the Chinese Communist regime has carried out an unprecedented and most inhuman genocide against Falun Gong practitioners who believe in 'Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance.' Especially facing the atrocities in the Sujiatun Concentration Camp, any person with a conscience and a sense of justice cannot just ignore it. Silence is not neutral. Turning a blind eye on the Chinese Communist regime's evil action is to allow the Chinese Communist regime to rampantly destroy the foundation of humanity, human conscience and morality. The madness of the Chinese Communist regime will surely lead to its destruction!"
In the procession was a fourteen-year-old Falun Gong practitioner. She said that she especially took some days off to participate in this demonstration.
A Falun Gong practitioner from France said, "I was born in Cambodia and was educated to love the Communist Party. We all know that the Chinese Communist Party was the master of the Khmer Rouge regime. The Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party is such a precious document. It can help one to look through [the lies] to the real face of the Chinese Communists." He said, "When I first read it, I cried. Only if the Chinese Communist regime is abolished, can Chinese people and people around the world truly have a good life. Through media propaganda, economic interest and foreign relations, the Chinese Communist regime has deceived the whole world. Some people assisted the regime after being deceived. I hope they have an opportunity to learn the truth. Many overseas Chinese are poisoned by the Chinese Communist regime's propaganda. The regime takes advantage of the overseas Chinese people's attachment to China and fills them with lies."
A young tourist from Canada was very shocked after learning about the atrocities committed by the Chinese Communist regime in the Sujiatun Concentration Camp. He said, "The fact that Falun Gong practitioners are detained and their organs are removed because of their belief is not acceptable and such action should be condemned by everyone. I wish you good luck."
A tourist from Italy said, "I sincerely hope the Chinese people will discard the Chinese Communist regime. We have succeeded. I wish you luck. I sincerely hope you will succeed."
An elderly lady from Serbia told the reporter, "Please have this kind of activity every day; you should let more people see and learn about what is happening in China."
