【新唐人2013年01月31日讯】欧洲议会主管人权的副主席麦克米兰•斯考特,和国际人权组织“非联合国会员国家及民族组织”,1月29号在议会举行高规格国际会议,题为:中共对信仰的迫害——一个恐怖的故事。欧洲议会议员、人权组织代表、专家学者以及活摘器官证人等受邀到场发言,呼吁共同制止中共活摘器官的罪行。
大会邀请了三位不同背景的发言人,从不同角度阐述了活摘器官的真实性及其规模。驻伦敦的调查记者、著名中国问题专家古特曼(Ethan Gutmann),和来自德国的医学教授李会革,展示了详实的独立调查数据,证实中国器官移植的增长速度和规模十分可疑,同时,从劳教所走出的法轮功学员,以及打给中国的调查电话,更直接证明了从良心犯身上摘取器官的事实的存在。
来自维吾尔的外科医生安华托帝亲身经历过从死刑犯身上攫取器官。当时行刑者故意将子弹打歪,以保证摘取器官的时候此人还活着。这段近似杀人的经历成了安华托帝医生的梦魇。
维吾尔外科医生安华托帝:“这是对我医生职责的亵渎,很多年了,在心理感受上很沉重。”
麦克米兰斯考特说,1942年一位美国最高法院法官,聆听了一位亲身经历过华沙死亡集中营的年轻波兰人的证词。
欧洲议会副主席爱德华•麦克米兰‧斯考特:“之后,这位谨慎的法官面对媒体说,我没说这位年轻人在撒谎,我只是说我没法相信自己的耳朵。这是有区别的。”
七十年后的今天,活体摘取良心犯、特别是法轮功学员器官的罪行曝光六年之后,却没有得到国际社会的广泛关注。欧洲议会“2011年世界民主人权报告”的报告人莱昂尼达斯说,难以置信,是其中一个原因。
欧洲议会议员莱昂尼达斯:“人们难以相信在一个文明的国度里这样的事情还可能发生。对于欧洲和北美来说,这样的反人类罪行只能和纳粹相提并论。”
然而,这并不是唯一的原因。
欧洲议会议员克兰:“原因就是中国给大家留下的越来越强大印象。”
维吾尔外科医生安华托帝:“当经济利益,就是你的口袋扁了的时候,你就会把人权就会放在一边。这是西方世界的一个悲哀。我认为他们不应该这么做。”
与此同时,作为活摘器官的主要受害者,法轮功学员们从未停止过他们用各种平和的方式,对国际社会的呼吁。
法轮大法信息中心代表 张而平:“我们希望国际社会包括联合国,要各国政府特别是西方民主国家的这个政府,应该站出来公开谴责这种暴行。然后让这样残暴的事情尽早停止。”
一面是经贸利益的诱惑,一面是受害者们的强烈呼声。欧洲议会议员表示,在这利益和人权的平衡中,议会也有他们的职责。
欧洲议会议员莱昂尼达斯:“应该大声疾呼,这是反人类的罪行,被送上海牙国际法庭。就这么简单。”
欧洲议会议员克兰:“这是道德在毁灭。如果我们不严肃对待我们所了解的有关(活摘器官)这一行为,我们在道德上和政治上,也得对正在发生的事情,承担一部分责任。”
在中国问题专家古特曼看来,将这些赴中国移 植器官的行为定为违法行为,是唯一解决问题的方法。
调查记者古特曼:“无论你是谁,无论你遭受了多少,如果你到中国,得到一个器官,我们不知道那个器官是从哪儿来的,我们不知道 它是怎么得来的。你就是一个罪人,你得去监狱, 你得去坐牢。这是目前处理这个问题的唯一的方式。”
有议员表示,举办这种国际会议,对国际社会来说如同一记棒喝,活摘器官的罪行将会让世人震惊。

EP Conference Calls to Stop Live Organ Harvesting
On Jan. 29, the European Parliament (EP) held
a conference on human rights titled,
“The Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution
on religious group—a horrifying story.”
It was hosted by Edward McMillan-Scott, Vice-President
of the EP with main portfolio Human Rights and Democracy.
The conference was supported by the Unrepresented
Nations and Peoples Organization (UNPO), a global democratic organization.
Invited talks were given by EP members, human rights
organizations’ representatives, scholars and witnesses of live organ harvesting.
Together they called for collective efforts
to put an end to this evil crime of the CCP.
At the meeting, three speakers of different backgrounds
were invited to expatiate on the authenticity and magnitude of live organ harvesting.
Ethan Gutmann, a London-based journalist and renowned
China watcher, and Li Huige, a professor of medicine from Germany, presented detailed statistics on the issue.
Obtained via an independent investigation they verified
that the growing rate of China’s organ transplantations is highly suspicious.
In addition, both approaches, testimonials from ex-labor
camps’ Falun Gong prisoners and investigation calls to China,
provided direct evidences of the CCP’s organ harvesting
from prisoners of conscience.
Dr. Enver Tohti, Uyghur surgeon, had witnessed himself
organ harvesting procedures from condemned criminals.
Back then the executor had intentionally deflected his shot
to keep the prisoner alive, so his organs can be harvested.
This experience had turned into a nightmare for Dr. Tohti,
as it has little difference from directly murdering a human.
Dr. Enver Tohti, Uyghur surgeon:
”This profanes my responsibility as a doctor.
Throughout all these years
I am always mentally burdened by this.”
McMillan-Scott told a story from 1942, when a justice of
US Supreme Court heard a young Polish man’s testimony of his experience in a Nazi concentration camp in Warsaw.
Edward McMillan-Scott, EP Vice-President: ”After the
interviews, the rather skeptical judge said to the journalists,
I did not say that the young man was lying.
I said I could not believe him, there’s a difference.”
Seventy years later, CCP’s crime has yet to draw
the attention of the global media,
even though live organ harvesting of Falun Gong
practitioners has been exposed for over six year now.
Donskis Leonidas, presenter of EP’s 2011 Annual Report
on Human Rights and Democracy in the World remarked,
this is partially because it is hard for people to believe
these facts are true.
Donskis Leonidas, EP member: ”It’s very difficult for people
to believe that in a civilized country such things are possible.
For Europeans or North Americans such crimes
against humanity can only be associated with the Nazis.”
However, that is not the only reason for the silence
on live organ harvesting.
Tunne Kelam, EP member: ”The reason is the very
impressive image of China as a growing power.”
Dr. Enver Tohti: ”When economic interests dominate,
or less money is left in the pocket, people will put human rights issues aside.
This is really sad for the Western world.
In my opinion they should not act like this.”
At the same time, as the main victim group of live organ
harvesting, Falun Gong practitioners had never stopped
calling for support from the global society,
using peaceful ways.
Zhang Erping, Falun Dafa Information Center representative:
”We hope the global society, the United Nations and governments, especially of western democratic countries,
to stand out condemning this crime publicly, and to
furthermore put an end to this atrocity as soon as possible.”
Standing between the economic interests and strong
voices of victims, EP members believe that the parliament has its own responsibility to make the right choice.
Donskis Leonidas: ”It has to be said aloud, it’s a crime
against humanity that should be prosecuted by the Hague Tribunal. The answer is just that simple.”
Tunne Kelam: ”This is morally devastating, and if we
don’t take knowledge seriously about this practice,
we have become morally and politically
co-responsible what is going on."
China watcher Ethan Gutmann believes that the only way
to solve the problem is to make any organ transplantation in China an illegal act.
Ethan Gutmann, investigative journalist: “It does not matter
who you are it does not matter how much you are suffering.
You go to China, you get an organ and we don’t know
where that organ comes from, we don’t know how it’s sourced, you are a criminal.
You can go behind bars. You go to jail. You go to prison.
That is the only way to handle this issue at this point."
Some EP members remarked, this international conference
is like a resounding blow to warn the global society.
The revealing crime of live organ harvesting
will only continue to shock the world.
