(Clearwisdom.net) At dusk on Tuesday, April 4, 2006, nearly 100 Falun Gong practitioners from the metropolitan New York City area held a rally in front of the Chinese Consulate in Manhattan to condemn the Chinese Communist regime's (CCP) outrageous atrocities of mass killing of Falun Gong practitioners in the Sujiatun Concentration Camp.

Banners in English read, "6,000 Falun Gong Practitioners Detained at Sujiatun, 2/3 Killed, Organs Extracted and Sold for

," and "CCP Tortures and Murders Falun Gong Practitioners." Banners in Chinese read, "Protesting the CCP's 'Sujiatun Secret Concentration Camp,'" "Protesting the CCP's brutal killing of Falun Gong practitioners," and "Protesting the CCP's Inhuman Atrocities of Harvesting Living Persons' Organs for Profiteering." On both sides of Chinese banners were two huge banners in English reading, "Falun Gong: Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance," and "Falun Gong: Based on Traditional Chinese Culture and Virtues." Over a dozen display boards depicted the CCP's brutal killing of Chinese people during the past few dozen years, especially the atrocities of mass killing at Sujiatun.

Falun Gong practitioner Mu Xiangjie, who recently came to America as a UN refugee said, "The brutality of Sujiatun Concentration Camp is unacceptable but within our expectation. I was sentenced to forced labor twice in China, and the police have never treated Falun Gong practitioners as humans. Once detained, practitioners were subjected to beatings. Brutally tortured practitioners were everywhere in the corridors of the forced labor camp. Steadfast practitioners were often tortured for several consecutive days at a time. Practitioners were frozen outdoors on cold snowy days, and burned in scortching sun. Three forced labor camps in Tianjin were expanded with perfect facilities. A 48-year-old woman Falun Gong practitioner refused to give her name as her resistance to the persecution, so the lawless guards placed a wooden board on her stomach and several strong guards walked on the board. After the torture, the practitioner was carried into her cell, bleeding profusely. One month later, her stomach was still black."

Mu Xiangjie also mentioned that in 2000, when she was arrested for appealing on behalf of Falun Gong in Beijing, at the beginning she refused to give her name. The police threatened her that if she did not give her name, she would be sent to a place where nobody knows, such as Xinjiang Autonomous Region. At the time, she thought the police were only intimidating her. Now she knows it was true.

In China's forced labor camps, steadfast Falun Gong practitioners like Mu Xiangjie are being monitored around the clock by other detainees. Practitioners are not allowed to have any contact with each other. Even a smile in the distance, if noticed, would incur savage beatings. A practitioner in the same cell with Mu Xiangjie was called out in the morning, but only her shoes were sent back in the evening, the practitioner herself did not come back, and was never seen again.

Falun Gong practitioner Li Weixun, who came to America as a UN refugee last year, expressed that she was once detained in a place named Sujiatun. She remembered once the head of the cell said there came a lot of Falun Gong practitioners, and later they were all transferred to other places. At the beginning of the persecution, when practitioners were rounded up, it was often the case that one practitioner came out in the morning but did not know if he/she could come back in the evening. Those practitioners' whereabouts were therefore unknown. In the CCP's brutal persecution, practitioners have no place to reason and appeal, and practitioners' relatives endure the pain themselves and dare not let others know of their loved ones' disappearances.

Practitioner He Bing said that her two friends in mainland China were a married couple Falun Gong practitioners. The wife was tortured to death, the husband was missing and their child who was in junior middle school became an orphan.

Falun Gong practitioner Scott expressed that the revelation of the CCP's atrocities at Sujiatun further revealed the CCP's true nature. The inhuman persecution of kind cultivators has shocked every person who has a conscience. We call upon the governments, human rights organizations and the general public to pay attention to the Sujiatun tragedy, and condemn the CCP's barbarity and stop the most evil persecution in human history.
