Falun Dafa is an ancient practice for mind-body cultivation, based on Truthfulness-Compassion-Endurance. Falun Dafa has five meditative exercises which, similar to tai chi or yoga, improve both mind and body.
The Kilgour Matas Reports(see Organ Harvestation tab on right) present 33 strands of evidence, based on which the authors reached their conclusion that Falun Gong practitioners have been victim to murder and organ harvestation in Chinese torture camps. Other analysis, including a Yale University thesis, arrive at the same conclusion as Kilgour-Matas.
Among the evidence collated in the reports are under-cover phone conversations with hospitals in China. Below is a map of regions in China where detention or hospital personnell made admissions to telephone investigators.
If each of us inform just 10 of our friends on this, we'd eventually create enough awareness to put a complete stop to this inhumane persecution.
...the great compassion and tolerance demonstrated by Falun Dafa practitioners in upholding the principles of their practice under the most severe environment had touched the hearts of people throughout the city, state, nation and world
Resolution Passed by The Massachusetts House of Representatives
Falun Dafa (also known as Falun Gong) is an ancient practice for mind-body cultivation, based on the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Endurance. Falun Dafa is practised in over 100 countries, by over a 100 million people.
From 1992 to 1999, Falun Dafa quickly grew in popularity in China to have more than 70 million practitioners there. Unsettled by the fast spread of Falun Dafa, the Chinese communist regime launched a brutal persecutory campaign against practitioners, similar to what had already been unleashed against Tibetan Buddhists.
While practitioners of Falun Dafa continue to be brutally persecuted by the communist regime, the rest of the world has warmly embraced this ancient way of spiritual cultivation - Falun Dafa and its Founder have received over a thousand awards and proclamations of recognition from government bodies in several countries for the benefits Falun Dafa has brought to those who practise it and the communities in which they live.
Kindly voice your thoughts on how this brutal persecution of innocents may be stopped, or please sign calling for an immediate end to the persecution.
The signatures will be presented to major media outlets when the 1 million mark is touched.
Kindly Act Now. Your voice can make a difference.
In 2006, an investigation by Canadian MP David Kilgour and Human Rights Lawyer David Matas concluded that Falun Gong practitioners are victim to murder and organ harvestation in Chinese torture camps. Their conclusion was reinforced by the findings of other independent investigations. In 2010, Kilgour and Matas were nominated for the Nobel-Peace Prize for the work.
