(Clearwisdom.net) On October 6, 2006, Falun Gong practitioners from Sydney assembled in front of City Hall to hold an activity to protest against Bo Xilai, the Chinese Minister of Commerce, and one of the main culprits in the persecution of Falun Gong. They also exposed the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) crime of harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners, and other CCP atrocities in the persecution.

Falun Gong practitioners protest against Bo Xilai in front of City Hall

The president of the Falun Dafa Association of New South Wales said that Pan Yu, a Falun Gong practitioner from Liaoning Province, filed a lawsuit again Bo Xilai for torture and genocide on March 31, 2006. Bo Xilai has been actively following Jiang's regime to persecute Falun Gong practitioners ever since the persecution started on July 20, 1999. When Bo was the mayor of Dalian City, deputy secretary of the Liaoning Provincial Party committee and governor of Liaoning Province, he discussed and arranged the persecution of Falun Gong at many meetings. When he was governor of Liaoning Province from January 2001 to February 2004, Bo Xilai actively planned and built large prison facilities, and invested 1 billion yuan into reconstructing prisons within the province. Masanjia Forced Labor Camp, notorious for its brutality and ruthlessness in the persecution of Falun Gong, was allotted over 500 million yuan. Liaoning Province is one of the provinces where the persecution of Falun Gong has been the most severe. More than 90 Falun Gong practitioners had been tortured to death in Liaoning Province from 1999 to 2003. Pan Yu was also beaten with electric batons.

The recently-disclosed secret concentration camp in the Sujiatun District, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province held about 6,000 Falun Gong practitioners from the northeast area of China at one time. Witnesses revealed that there is usually a large number of doctors there, and it also contains a crematorium. It is believed that Falun Gong practitioners have had their organs harvested there while still alive and their murdered bodies cremated immediately to destroy the evidence. According to the evidence collected by a Canadian independent investigation team, Bo Xilai has been directly involved in the organ harvesting. The president of the Falun Dafa Association of New South Wales called upon all the governments of the world to forbid murderers such as Bo Xilai from entering their countries.

The Falun Dafa Association president said that Australia is a democratic country, not a paradise for the murderers. The association has already written to the Attorney-General of Australia, asking him to forbid Bo Xilai entry into Australia. Since Bo is already in Australia now, the association asked the Attorney-General to issue an order for his arrest.

Many Falun Gong practitioners also spoke to expose Bo Xilai’s crimes. Practitioners called upon all people of conscience to help to stop the persecution and bring the murderers to justice.

Falun Gong practitioners formed a "great wall" with banners, which attracted the attention of many people. A group of high school students were shocked by the CCP’s brutality. They said that the whole world should condemn the crimes and the Australian government should stop trade relationships with the CCP. One of the students asked practitioners for a T-shirt, which exposes the truth of the persecution. He said that he wanted more people to know about the persecution. Many people signed their names to support Falun Gong.
