Belgian MPs Publish an Open Letter Urging European Governments to Restrain the New Genocide in China

May 25, 2006

(Clearwisdom.net) On April 26, 2006, Belgian MPs Jan Peumans and Jan Loones published an open letter to Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt demanding an investigation of the crimes of Chinese concentration camps harvesting organs and cremating bodies. The letter demanded that European governments take immediate actions utilizing all possible venues to stop this new round of genocide from happening in mainland China.

The two MPs said in the letter that in the past few weeks, evidence of Chinese concentration camps began to surface. According to two witnesses, a death concentration camp of Falun Gong practitioners is hidden inside of a hospital, which specializes in organ transplants, located in Sujiatun District, Shenyang City in northeast China. The concentration camp was built to supply fresh human organs for transplant operations. After these terrible facts were disclosed and while, according to media reports, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was urgently evacuating Sujiatun area, a third witness, a self-proclaimed veteran military surgeon, came forward with the fact that there are more than thirty-five such concentration camps in existence in China.

The MPs expressed that organ trade is an extremely lucrative business. Organs are harvested while victims are still alive. As a cost-saving measure only little anaesthesia is applied. Afterwards the victims' bodies are immediately cremated locally. Families do not have a clue of the fate of their loved ones after they "disappeared."

The MPs pointed out that such a surge of organ harvesting apparently has its root in a recent piece of legislation in China - "Interim Regulations on Organ Transplants." The legislation, which was published by the Ministry of Health on March 28, in theory defines forcible organ removal as illegal. However, the law will not come into effect until July 1, which leaves full a three months for the profit-seeking CCP officials to wantonly harvest organs. The new legislation follows immediately the disclosure of Sujiatun Concentration Camp by Falun Gong practitioners on March 3. Prior to this, China has never adopted such measures, not even after the secret Chinese organ trade was testified in detail at the US Congress.

The MPs stressed that the whole sequence of events is obvious. Concentration camps were exposed, the alarmed CCP officials took three weeks to discuss actions, a giant cover-up mechanism was started, which included denial, whitewash legislation, and crazy profit seeking prior to the law taking effect.

The MPs further pointed out that the above crimes of the CCP are utterly devoid of conscience, revealing the most evil concentration camps that do not belong to the 21st century. Today however, in a most excruciating way, a country regarded as an important economic partner by the world's leaders makes us face these appalling crimes. Belgium should organize urgent independent investigation on these crimes. Once the truth is known, history is not to be repeated.

The MPs hope that the civilized world learns a lesson from history. They expressed deep regret that they had not been able to stop the massacre, that international society solemnly promised "never again" after World War II. Sixty years have gone by and history gives the civilized world a chance to make things right. We hope this generation can proudly say, "Not only did we make a promise, we fulfilled it."

The two MPs urged European governments to take immediate actions utilizing all possible venues to stop this new round of genocide from happening in mainland China. Every minute of delay is at the expense of innocent lives and is a shame to mankind.
