(Clearwisdom.net) On May 4, 2006, Falun Gong practitioners made an appointment with the mayor of a western suburb of Sydney. When practitioners told him of the CCP's crimes of organ harvesting from living practitioners as well as cremating the bodies to destroy the evidence, the mayor wept and kept wiping his tears. He was quite upset and indignant, and said, "Following World War II people said, 'Never Again;' why do people today still keep silent? A human is different from animals. When one person persecutes another person, in particular when a government persecutes a group of innocent people, such a huge group of the population, such persecution is completely unacceptable. If the international governments and international community do not take any action after knowing about this, they will have to pay."
The mayor then also said that he would try his best to arrange for practitioners to attend their next Monday's council meeting to inform more people of this crime.
Practitioners went to this city on May 8th to attend their council meeting. Prior to that, practitioners had already contacted the relevant council staff to let them know that although the topic would not be a particular local issue, it concerns everyone and is extremely important. The staff indicated that practitioners would be allowed to make a speech if there was time. During the meeting practitioners waited patiently and kept sending forth righteous thoughts to eliminate all the evil elements that try to hinder truth clarification. An hour passed and the council meeting was approaching the end.
The mayor said, "Today we have Falun Gong practitioners here who have come from very far away. They'd very much like to talk about the death camps in China. What does everyone think?" The councilors indicated that they welcomed the practitioners to talk for four minutes, like other people.
A practitioner spoke in front of over 30 people, including all the councilors and staff saying, "Hundreds of thousands Falun Gong practitioners are detained in Chinese forced labor camps. Due to the Chinese Communist Party's policy of 'beaten to death is counted as suicide,' Falun Gong practitioners have become commercial products for the corrupt policemen, for them to make a huge profit. Practitioners' hearts, livers, kidneys and corneas are harvested while they are still alive, and then they are taken to the crematorium because the authorities are trying to eliminate the evidence of their crimes. In other countries one has to wait several years for the organ tissue match, but the Oriental Organ Transplant Center in China advertises to overseas patients in five different languages, inviting them to have the organ transplant surgery in China. On their website they state that one only needs to wait for one or two days for a kidney transplant, and one or two weeks for a liver transplant. Many Chinese hospitals are working overtime to do such surgeries. There were only 78 liver transplant surgeries in China between 1991 and 1998, but the number increased rapidly after 1999 when the persecution of Falun Gong started.
In 2003, this number reached 3,000 surgeries. Taking the organ, blood type and tissue match into consideration, the success rate is only 1.2%. One can thus deduce that the supply of live organs would be 100 times that of 3,000. In other words, at least 300,000 people would have to be available as donors to make so many surgeries possible. We bring you this sad information today, because we need your help!"
Another practitioner added, "I have sent you two emails. We know this is an international issue. Falun Gong is freely practiced in 80 countries and is only persecuted in China. We need your support."
The allotted four minutes passed very quickly, and the buzzer had rung twice; however, no one tried to stop the practitioner's speech. All listened very seriously, and the atmosphere in the meeting hall seemed to have frozen. The councilors' facial expression turned more serious than during the ongoing meeting, and they listened calmly. Many could not believe such a thing is happening in today's day and age. The councilors who had read the email expressed their appreciation to the practitioners, and one councilor said "thank you" in Chinese.
The mayor said, "We all know this tragedy is happening. I have the information they gave me," and then took out the English Epoch Times and the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party that practitioners had given him a few days prior, saying to the councilors, "You can come to take this information. We should carefully think about what we can do. "
During the meeting break, practitioners handed the materials to the councilors, some of whom asked the practitioners to mail copies of the Nine Commentaries to them.
