I can't verify the veracity of these protesters, but I'm inclined to believe them, based on China's horrid human rights record. Some might even call them "evildoers," but I'll leave that to our "decider" in chief.
But the protesters' message on the eve of Chinese President Hu Jintao's visit to Seattle today and Wednesday was grisly. The Chinese government, they alleged, is killing Falun Gong followers in a Nazi-style concentration camp in Liaoning province and harvesting their organs.
The protesters, who came from as far as San Diego, based their claims on reports by Falun Gong supporters in China and articles in The Epoch Times, a newspaper and Web site affiliated with the group.
"Our main message is to let China's president know that the world knows about the death camp," said Allison Pan, a Seattle software engineer who helped organize the demonstration. "We demand a full investigation."
What is Falun Gong?
Falun Gong, also called Falun Dafa, consists of meditation and slow-motion physical exercises. Its teachings emphasize three principles: truthfulness, compassion and tolerance.
Nothing threatens Communist dictatorships more. The Chinese government deals with the Falun Gong the same as it does other persecuted groups, said David Zhang, a computer engineer from San Jose, Calif.
"They don't treat Christians any better than they do Falun Gong," he said.
wish the hate america bunch had to live under this awhile,maybe they would see things a different way.
