Chinese Communist Party Launches Nationwide Assault Against Religion
....
Last night, Shandong Province began enforcing martial law conditions and
arresting Falun Gong practitioners en masse. In Jinan City, Shandong's
capital, emergency police vehicles were stationed at intersections and
inspecting all vehicles passing by. According to one eye-witness, it was
clear that authorities were targeting Falun Gong practitioners because they
did not check the vehicle's inspection or the driver's license. Instead,
they stopped vehicles and checked if the driver "looked kind." Knowing the
practice embraces traditional values and ethical living, over the past
several years Chinese police have refined techniques for identifying
individuals who practice Falun Gong by asking detainees to curse, or exhibit
cruel behavior.

On April 6 and 7, Yifeng County, Jiangxi Province carried out a large-scale
suppression across the whole county, kidnapping anyone believed to be "firm
in practicing Falun Gong."

On April 10, the police department in Guangan, Sichuan Province convened a
secret meeting for five consecutive days to make plans for implementing the
suppression orders in their region.

Police departments in Urumqi (Inner Mongolia) recently began posting rewards
on bulletin boards for information leading to the capture of local Falun
Gong practitioners. One observer noted, however, that authorities did not
put any official seal on the postings, fearing to leave evidence of the
persecutory tactic.

One Million Withdraw from Chinese Communist Party

NEW YORK—“Let my people go,” said Holocaust survivor Moshe Barr-Nea to the
Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Barr-Nea spoke at a press conference held at
the United Nations last Friday, where, democracy advocates and human rights
NGO’s rallied, announcing the 1 million mark for withdrawals from the CCP.
According to Stephen Gregory, opinion editor of the Epoch Times, when the
“Nine Commentaries,” a series of articles depicting the horrifying history
of the CCP, were first published in November 2004, the CCP wouldn’t
acknowledge their existence—never mentioning them by name.

In Hubei province, China, local police are currently searching residential
homes for copies of the “Nine Commentaries,” which if found, would land the
home occupants or owner four years in jail, according to Gregory. In Jilin
City of northeast China, the police have been stopping cars driven by “kind
faces,” since those are the people local authorities have profiled as most
likely to read the “Nine Commentaries.”

“Obviously the CCP has now recognized the Nine Commentaries and the effect
they had and they respond the only way they can, with force and brutality,”
said Gregory.

Another speaker, Zhiyuan Wang, served in the Chinese army as a military
doctor before coming to the United States. He shared his memories of
shattered patriotism and shocking realizations as the CCP slaughtered its
own people. The latest example being the shooting massacre of civilians
protesting the corruption of CCP official’s in Han Yuan, Sichuan province in
November 2004.

“In my 25 years of service in China I have never served the people or the
country, instead I fell prey to the CCP’s lies and was used by the CCP to
sustain its terrorist regime,” said Wang.

Wang called on Chinese soldiers and officials to withdrawal from the CCP.

“Stop being a pawn of the CCP and truly serve the Chinese people and China,”
said Wang

According to “The Black Book of Communism: Crimes, Terror, Repression,”
published by Harvard University in 1999, Hitler and his Nazi army
slaughtered 6 million European Jews. According to the same book, the CCP and
its political movements have killed between 60 to 80 million Chinese people
since coming to power in China 55 years ago.

Moshe Barr-Nea, who survived the Auschwitz concentration camp in Nazi
Germany, said that tyrannical governments—like in the Soviet Union, Nazi
Germany, and now Communist China—always persecute innocent victims.

Barr-Nea formed an organization in 1953, which helped one million Soviet
Jews escape the Soviet Communist regime and gave them a chance to live free
of persecution in Israel. He talked of the need to bring American and Jewish
people of good will together to save the people of China.

Passerby Helene Zimmerman who was visiting from Florida noticed “the passion
of the people of such commitment,” and was impressed by how smooth the rally
was.

Kathleen Quain president of a United Nations NGO Foundation for health and
environmental technology said that the global community is watching China’s
economic and human rights issues and is horrified by the atrocities that
China’s own leaders would inflict on their countrymen.

“President Hu, are you capable of stopping the tortures by this coming
Monday?” asked Quain of China’s current leader, President Hu Jintao.

Quain suggested transforming centrally located police stations currently
used as torture centers into environmental headquarters for a new clean
water infrastructure.

“You the Chinese people are global brothers and sisters. We are one in
partnership with you to reach freedom on your land,” said Quain.
