The CCP's Kidnapping of Mr. Cao Dong and Mr. Niu Jinping Will Not Stop the Spread of Truth

Aug. 13, 2006

(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Dafa practitioners Mr. Cao Dong and Mr. Niu Jinping met with Mr. Edward McMillan-Scott, Vice President of the European Parliament, when he came to Beijing to investigate the persecution of Falun Gong on May 21, 2006. Both of them told Mr. McMillan-Scott that they were themselves persecuted and their families and other Falun Gong practitioners they knew were persecuted as well. Furthermore, Mr. Cao Dong mentioned that he has witnessed first-hand evidence of the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP's) organ harvesting of living Falun Gong practitioners. After leaving the meeting, Mr. Cao Dong was secretly kidnapped by the State Security Police and Mr. Niu Jinping has been under residential surveillance since.

Right now, Mr. Niu Jinping's wife, Mrs. Zhang Lianying, who tried to get help for her husband, is being tortured at the Beijing City Tuanhe Dispatching Office of the Forced Labor Education Bureau. Their two-year-old daughter has been separated from her. Mr. Cao Dong's wife, Mrs. Yang Xiaojing, is imprisoned at Beijing City Women's Forced Labor Camp. She is very concerned about her husband because he has not visited her for quite a while. Her aged parents are in great worry and anguish from the Beijing State Security Bureau's threats and coercion tactics.

Why doesn't the CCP care about its international reputation any more, but instead persecutes Mr. Cao Dong and Mr. Niu Jinping for their just and benevolent action of meeting a Western political leader to expose Beijing's evil crimes? Because Falun Gong practitioners' truth-clarification of the persecution has exposed the CCP's true nature and lies, the party has nowhere to hide from the public. The foolish and evil CCP wrongly thought that it could discourage Falun Gong practitioners exposing its crimes and stopping the international attention towards the persecution by secretly kidnapping Mr. Cao Dong and Mr. Niu Jinping. The party's actions were similar to when they killed Mr. Liu Chengjun, the first Falun Gong practitioner who tapped into the cable TV network to broadcast truth-clarification programs. However, those firm Falun Gong believers have never yielded to the cruel persecution for the past seven years and will not yield to it now when the CCP is on the way to its end. Quite the opposite, the more the CCP engages in these ridiculous acts, the clearer it exposes its evil nature to the world. The public can see what the party is doing and they will abandon it and prosecute its crimes and hard-core members. The following major events have clearly demonstrated that this is so.

After the meeting with Mr. Cao Dong and Mr. Niu Jinping in Beijing on May 21, Mr. McMillan-Scott wrote his report about the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners, especially the allegation of the CCP's harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners for profit. In his report, "Organ Harvesting in China," Mr. McMillan-Scott wrote, "Hearsay evidence taken at a meeting with two Falun Gong practitioners, Mr. Niu Jinping and Mr. Cao Dong, Beijing, China on May 21, 2006. . ..Edward McMillan-Scott enquired whether he (Mr. Cao Dong) was aware of any organ harvesting camps in China. He said he definitely knew of them and knew people who had been sent to them. He had seen the cadaver of one of his friends, a Falun Gong practitioner, with holes in his body where the organs had been removed."

On July 6, 2006, Mr. David Kilgour, former Member of Canadian Parliament and former Secretary of State (Asia-Pacific) and Mr. David Matas, a respected international human rights lawyer, published their independent investigation results, "Report into Allegations of Organ Harvesting of Falun Gong Practitioners in China." At the news conference announcing the release of the report, Mr. Matas called the live organ harvesting practice "a form of evil we have yet to see on this planet." These two investigators spent two months to investigate and gather evidence. Via "proof and disproof" of eighteen types of evidence, they concluded, "Based on what we know, we have come to the regrettable conclusion that the allegations are true. We believe that there has been and continues today to be large scale organ seizures from unwilling Falun Gong practitioners." The report demands of the CCP that, "The repression, imprisonment and severe mistreatment of Falun Gong practitioners must stop immediately."

In late July 2006, when hundreds of surgeons and medical professionals from China came to Boston for the first World Transplant Conference (WTC), renowned human rights lawyer Dr. Terri Marsh delivered a criminal complaint to the Massachusetts Prosecutor's Office. The defendants in the criminal complaint were the visiting President of Tongji Hospital Transplantation Research Institute in Wuhan City, Chen Zhonghua, the Dean of Zhongshan Hospital Organ Transplantation Center in Shanghai, Zhu Tongyu and the Director of the Oriental Organ Transplantation Center at the Number One Center Hospital in Tianjin City, Shen Zhongyang. The defendants are accused of harvesting, stealing and selling organs for profit from prisoners, including Falun Gong practitioners in prisons without their consent. They stand accused of violating the United States' "Torture Criminal Statute" (Title 18 USCA Section2340A) and "Torture Convention" approved and implemented by the United States in 1994. They have not only committed the crime of torture, but also have committed the most serious crimes of genocide according to international criminal law, and violated the "Universal Declaration on Human Rights," the "International Convention on Citizens Rights and Political Rights" and other related regulations. The allegation against these three doctors are based on the tape recordings of the acknowledgments by doctors in their hospitals that the organ sources for transplant at their hospitals included living Falun Gong practitioners.

The "Human Rights Law Foundation" established in Washington DC served legal notices to the Chinese delegates to the WTC on July 23. It warned that all professionals who are currently engaging in organ transplants, including surgeons and nurses who have participated in, supported, abetted, and assisted in the inhumane practice of illegally harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners will be held legally responsible; and that the lawyers of the foundation who have been engaging in international human rights work for years, based on the requirement of the international justice and society's moral principles, will also pay close attention, and look into related criminal acts of any medical staff who may be involved in live organ harvesting.

As an ancient Chinese poem said, "But blue hills can't stop water flowing, Eastward the river keeps on going," the most vicious persecution initiated by the CCP will for sure end when the CCP collapses in great shame. Heaven's will is not what a tiny evil CCP can stop. The widespread distribution of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party and the big wave of over 12 million people renouncing their CCP membership are showing that the Chinese Communist Party is at its end. The great power of righteous thoughts is what those who would commit evil can never understand.
