【新唐人2015年02月03日訊】針對美國三位醫學專家發起的,關於調查和譴責中共活摘法輪功學員器官的聯名請願,美國白宮終於在日前首度做出正式回應。「追查迫害法輪功國際組織」發言人肯定了白宮的回應,並希望美國政府能採取更積極行動,制止中共活摘暴行。
這項公開徵集簽名的請願活動,是2012年12月2號在白宮「我們人民」(We the People)網站上發起的,至今已獲得3萬4千多人簽名。請願書呼籲,活摘器官是「反人類」的罪行,這一殘暴罪行在中國發生至今已經超過10年,美國作為捍衛人權的世界領袖,有道德義務站出來公開發聲。
對此,美國白宮在1月30號做出了正式回應。白宮表示,美國政府反對非法和不道德的器官摘取和販賣。
白宮透露,中共領導人曾許諾,停止從死刑犯身上摘取器官用於移植的做法,但是這類行為至今還在繼續,白宮將關注事態發展,以及中共當局實現其承諾的行為。
白宮指出,中共當局的人權實踐和對待法輪功學員的方式,仍是他們的關注重點。由於中共自1999年以來,進行或默許對宗教自由的嚴重侵犯,美國國務院一直把中國列入《國際宗教自由法》「特別值得關注的國家」名單中。
白宮還說,美國國務院在《2013年各國人權現狀報告》,和《2013年國際宗教自由報告》中指出,中共政權對宗教自由權利的尊重和保護,出現了惡化。
「追查迫害法輪功國際組織」發言人汪志遠,對於白宮的相關回應,表示肯定。
「追查國際」發言人汪志遠:「這個回應是非常好的,這是白宮首次這樣回應,說明瞭中共活摘器官這個事情,已經開始引起了西方社會普遍的關注,特別是美國政府,這也說明瞭一個問題,中共活體摘取法輪功學員器官這個真相,已經開始在西方社會讓更多的人接受,這是一個很好的事情。」
不過,汪志遠認為這個回應遠遠不夠,美國政府應立即制止中共活摘暴行。
汪志遠:「這個真相已經在西方社會,在全世界揭露這麼長時間了,白宮現在回應,只能說是走出了可喜的一步,但是還遠遠不夠。作為像美國這樣的國家,這件事情,美國應該不但調查,而且就是要組織去調查,就是實地調查,要立即制止這種在中國的群體滅絕罪。」
除了國際社會對中共的譴責聲浪此起彼落,中國大陸民眾的反活摘簽名也在持續發酵。據了解,去年7月到12月,光是河北省張家口,就有上萬名的民眾簽名反活摘,截至去年12月底,全國共有4萬1千多人簽名譴責中共活摘暴行,並要求調查江澤民、周永康、薄熙來等主要參與者的罪行。
大陸民眾李隨:「現在河北上萬的人去簽名,去呼籲這件事情,證明至少大家對這個事情已經有正確的認識了,不再受到黨文化的毒害,他們說甚麼就是甚麼,大家對真相已經有所了解了。」
汪志遠:「這說明兩個問題,一個是真相已經逐漸的在曝光了,民眾開始覺醒,第二個,中共對江澤民迫害法輪功的這個政策,已經開始走向了全面解體,它已經無法為繼了,開始解體了。」
據《明慧網》報導,一名退休老工人在看到徵簽表上,中共活摘法輪功學員器官暴行的圖片和文字說明後,氣憤地說:「江澤民盡幹壞事,這表,我簽!」,隨後他簽了名,按了手印,並退出了中共的黨、團、隊組織。
李隨:「這是一種滅絕人性的做法啊,我肯定會按這個手印,如果讓我站在正義的一邊,我肯定是支持。我知道他們還在迫害,從九幾年開始吧,老百姓也還是很氣憤,但是了解真相的人,我覺得還是不夠多。」
據《明慧網》報導,前中共黨魁江澤民以軍隊為主導,總後勤部為核心,由武警、政法系統、衛生系統和器官黑中介配合,建立起規模龐大的軍事化活摘及販賣器官的一條龍「按需殺人」產業,系統地對法輪功學員實施群體滅絕性大屠殺。不過,「追查國際」指出,由於軍隊系統的相對封閉性,從集中關押、全國調配、切取移植器官到銷毀證據,都難以被外界了解。

The White House Responds to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)
Organ Harvesting Investigation For the First Time
The White House finally formally responded for the first time
regarding the investigation and condemnation
of live organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners
initiated by three U.S. medical experts.
International Organization to Investigate the Persecution
of Falun Gong spokesman confirmed the White House
response and hopes the U.S. government will be more
proactive in stopping the CCP’s live harvesting atrocity.
The open petition began on Dec. 2, 2012
at the White House (We the People) website.
By now, over 34,000 signatures
have been collected.
The petition stated that organ harvesting is against humanity
and the criminal act has persisted for more than 10 years.
As a world leader in protecting human rights, the U.S.
has a moral obligation to expose these crimes.
The White House issued a formal response
on Jan. 30.
The White House said the U.S. government opposes
illegal and unethical organ harvesting and trafficking.
The White House said China’s leaders have announced
a pledge to abolish the practice of taking human organs
for transplant from executed prisoners, although we are aware
of continued reports of such practices.
We take such allegations very seriously and will continue
to monitor the situation and the actions
that Chinese authorities take to fulfill this commitment.
The White House noted that the Chinese government’s
human rights practices and treatment
of Falun Gong practitioners remain causes for concern.
Since 1999, the Secretary of State has designated China
as a “Country of Particular Concern" under the International
Religious Freedom Act for having engaged in or tolerated
particularly severe violations of religious freedom.
As reported in the State Department’s 2013 Country Report
on Human Rights Practices and the 2013 International
Religious Freedom Report, the Chinese government’s respect
for and protection of religious freedom have deteriorated.
International Organization to Investigate the Persecution
of Falun Gong spokesman Wang Zhiyuan commented
favorably on the White Houses response.
Wang Zhiyuan: “The response was very good.
It’s the first time the White House gave such a response
to the CCP organ harvesting.
It means this matter attracted the attention in Western society,
especially from the U.S. government.
It also indicates the truth of CCP live organ harvesting
from Falun Gong practitioners has been confirmed
by more people in Western society.
It’s a good thing."
However, Wang Zhiyuan believes it is not enough
for the U.S. government, because they should immediately
stop CCP live organ harvesting atrocities.
Wang Zhiyuan: “It has taken a while for the truth
to be exposed in Western society and globally.
The White House response is a good step, but not enough.
The U.S. government should not only investigate,
but organize a field investigation to immediately stop
the genocide in China."
In addition to the condemnation from the international
community, the anti-live organ harvesting signature campaign
from mainland Chinese is ongoing.
Tens of thousands of people signed against live harvesting
in Zhangjiakou city, Hebei province between
last July to December only.
By the end of last December, more than 41,000 people
signed against live organ harvesting and requested
an investigation into those involved including Jiang Zemin,
Zhou Yongkang, Bo Xilai, and others.
Mainlander Li Sui: “Tens of thousands of people signed
to appeal.
At least it has proved that people have a right to know
and not be infected by the party culture.
People are already aware of some truth,
and aren’t just listening to the Party."
Wang Zhiyuan: “It indicates two issues— one is the truth
is exposed gradually and people have begun to awaken;
The second is that Jiang Zemin’s persecution policy
of Falun Gong began to fully disintegrate."
According to a Minghui report, a retired worker saw
the picture and text regarding CCP atrocities of organ
harvesting from live Falun Gong practitioners and said
angrily, “Jiang Zemin did so many bad things, I’ll sign the form!”
Then he signed his name, included his fingerprints,
and also withdrew from the Communist party,
groups and team organizations.
Li Sui: “It is inhumane.
I will certainly press my fingerprint to support
if you let me stand on the side of justice.
I know they continue to persecute, probably
since nine years ago.
People are very angry.
But I still think not enough people know the truth."
According to the Minghui report, former CCP leader
Jiang Zemin built a large-scale military industry around
live organ harvesting and trafficking with the lead
of the army, the core of General Logistics Department
the corporation of the police, political and legal system,
the health system and black organ intermediary.
The industry systematically massacres Falun Gong
practitioners as a genocide population.
However, International Investigation noted that due
to the relatively closed nature of the military system,
as well as the destruction of evidence, it’s difficult
to investigate centralized custody and national deployment
of transplanted organs from the outside.
