(Clearwisdom.net) Central News Agency reported on September 26, 2006 that Falun Gong practitioners from Ottawa, Montreal and other places rallied in Parliament Hill in Ottawa, calling on the Canadian government and people to combine efforts to stop the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) crimes of harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners. MPs including Irwin Cotler came to voice their support.
Reuven Bulka, Chairman of the Organ Donation Committee of the Eastern Ontario Kidney Foundation made a speech at the rally, condemning the CCP's inhumane behavior.
Bulka expressed that the CCP's harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners is "a human-rights breach of the worst order, and demands a response on the international level commensurate with the monstrous evil." "Governments must raise their collective voices in disgust at this, and condemn it in uncompromising terms. The traffic flow to China for these "procedures" needs to be stopped."
Bulka said that governments should look at the propriety of any trade with China, and individuals should think about the morality of buying items that are made in China until this stops, with finality and with proof of same. He said that the Olympics is the last stop in this process. That is a few years away, and the situation demands immediate and strong attention.
This past May, Canadian veteran MP David Kilgour and human rights lawyer David Matas launched an independent investigation regarding the allegation on the CCP harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners. The Kilgour/Matas investigation team met with many victims and witnesses, conducting in-depth research. The two investigators published a report of their investigation on July 6 in Ottawa. Assessing eighteen different kinds of evidence, they concluded, "There has been and continues today to be large scale organ seizures from unwilling Falun Gong practitioners."
