“法輪功”炒作所謂“活體摘除器官”是其謊言策略的一部分。從今年3月開始,“法輪功”開始炒作所謂“蘇家屯集中營”謠言,聲稱幾千名法輪功練習(xí)者被關(guān)押在中國遼寧沈陽蘇家屯區(qū)一家醫(yī)院中,他們中的多數(shù)被活體摘除器官后被焚尸滅跡。隨后,中國政府、美國駐華使館和一些境內(nèi)外媒體都進行了調(diào)查或了解,證實這是一個徹頭徹尾的謊言?!疤K家屯謠言”被揭穿后,“法輪功”開始轉(zhuǎn)移造謠重點,稱中國其他地區(qū)有大量所謂“活體摘除器官”現(xiàn)象。以下是“蘇家屯集中營” 謠言的有關(guān)材料。
“蘇家屯集中營”謠言的始末
今年3月上旬,總部設(shè)在美國的“法輪功”組織,通過它的兩個媒體“明慧網(wǎng)”和“大紀(jì)元時報”,又蓄意制造了一個聳人聽聞的新謠言,這就是所謂的“蘇家屯集中營事件”?!胺ㄝ喒Α甭暦Q:在中國遼寧省沈陽市蘇家屯區(qū)有1個集中營,里面關(guān)押著6000多名“法輪功”人員,其中三分之二已經(jīng)死亡,并被割取身體器官后扔進集中營內(nèi)的焚尸爐焚燒,而他們的身體器官隨即被非法出售到國內(nèi)外。
此后,圍繞“蘇家屯集中營事件”,“法輪功”組織大肆渲染、不斷擴大這個謠言,并向一些國家的政界人士游說,在一些國家非常招搖地舉行“抗議”活動,在中國駐外使領(lǐng)館前進行騷擾等等,可謂手段用盡。尤其卑劣的是,4月20日,在美國政府為中國國家主席胡錦濤到訪而舉行的歡迎儀式上,“法輪功”“大紀(jì)元時報”記者王文怡竟以此謠言為借口大鬧現(xiàn)場,使布什總統(tǒng)蒙羞,被一些美國主流媒體認(rèn)為是“極大的難堪”(CNN語)。
“法輪功”善于制造謠言,中國的老百姓對此早已司空見慣,根本無人相信。但在國外,卻仍有一些人非常輕易地上當(dāng)受騙。對“蘇家屯集中營”謠言,有少數(shù)西方人士竟信以為真。某些國家的媒體和政界人士在完全沒有掌握事實根據(jù)的情況下,僅僅憑著一個邪教組織“法輪功”的謠言,就對中國大加指責(zé);有的國家的個別國會議員竟要求本國政府向中國政府提出抗議。本來,像這樣荒唐離奇的謠言不值一駁,居然竟有人出于不同原因愿意不經(jīng)核實地輕信這些荒唐的謠言,看來,還真有必要徹底揭開“法輪功”的造謠本相,擦亮世人的眼睛。
一、“蘇家屯集中營”純屬子虛烏有
所謂“蘇家屯集中營”,完全是“法輪功”組織炮制的謠言。謠言一出籠就漏洞百出,而后“法輪功”不得不多次改口,但卻愈發(fā)欲蓋彌彰。
“法輪功”在最初報道此事時曾聲稱:“集中營”有架著鐵絲網(wǎng)的3米高的圍墻,里面在不斷地大量焚燒尸體。明眼人一看就知道這是一個謊言:在有八百萬居民的沈陽市區(qū),有這么一個大型的、不斷焚燒尸體的“集中營”,為什么這么長時間竟無一人知曉,無人反映?架著鐵絲網(wǎng)的3米高的圍墻又在哪里?由于謊言編得太離譜,一出籠就遭到無數(shù)質(zhì)疑,“法輪功”很快改口,將所謂“集中營”的帽子又扣在地處蘇家屯區(qū)的遼寧省血栓病中西醫(yī)結(jié)合醫(yī)療中心(通稱蘇家屯血栓病醫(yī)院),并在網(wǎng)上公布了該醫(yī)院的照片以及醫(yī)院內(nèi)的所謂“焚尸爐”的照片。這樣一來,地點倒是有了,但卻漏出新的破綻:遼寧省血栓病中西醫(yī)結(jié)合醫(yī)療中心因其醫(yī)療水平較高,在中國又有名氣,外國的許多患者也來這里治病。這些人都知道,醫(yī)院只有300個床位,就算醫(yī)院完全不再為病人治療,如何容納6000多人?于是,“法輪功”又改口稱6000多人都關(guān)押在醫(yī)院的地下室,但事實上該醫(yī)院從來就沒有地下室。而“法輪功”公布的所謂“焚尸爐”的照片,實際上是該醫(yī)院的民用鍋爐房,主要功能是供暖和醫(yī)療器械消毒,該鍋爐房有多扇通透明亮的玻璃窗,窗外是對公眾開放的草地,附近居民一天到晚到此散步,在這種地方,用這種設(shè)施,如何秘密地、不斷地、大量焚燒尸體?至于“割取身體器官非法出售到國內(nèi)外”之說,更是一派胡言,請問:割取了哪些人的身體器官?在該醫(yī)院什么地方割取的?什么人割取的?出售給誰了?如果真有幾千人的身體器官被割取、出售,這些問題為什么“法輪功”一個也答不出來?由于“法輪功”的謊言太離奇,連在境外以“中國勞改問題專家”自居的反中國政府的“民運人士”吳弘達(dá)也看不下去,公開給美國國會寫信否認(rèn)此事的真實性。
對“法輪功”的造謠,中國有關(guān)方面多次予以駁斥。3月31日,謠言的直接受害者遼寧省血栓病中西醫(yī)結(jié)合醫(yī)療中心在其網(wǎng)站“中國血栓病研究網(wǎng)”上公開辟謠,澄清事實。4月4日,中國外交部新聞發(fā)言人在回答美聯(lián)社記者提問時駁斥了“法輪功”的謠言。4月12日,蘇家屯區(qū)政府和遼寧省血栓病中西醫(yī)結(jié)合醫(yī)療中心在中國國務(wù)院新聞辦召開新聞發(fā)布會,再次譴責(zé)了“法輪功”造謠的卑劣行徑。他們鄭重地表示:歡迎中外媒體和人士到蘇家屯區(qū)實地考察。
“法輪功”謠言出籠后,許多中外媒體到蘇家屯進行了實地采訪。如,3月24日,中國新聞社實地采訪了蘇家屯區(qū)和遼寧省血栓病中西醫(yī)結(jié)合醫(yī)療中心;3月31日,日本NHK、香港鳳凰衛(wèi)視、香港大公報實地采訪了該醫(yī)院。鳳凰衛(wèi)視在報道中明確指出,“法輪功”所說的秘密“集中營”根本不存在。在4月12日中國國務(wù)院新聞辦的新聞發(fā)布會上,包括CNN、華盛頓郵報、美聯(lián)社、路透社、新加坡聯(lián)合早報、香港鳳凰衛(wèi)視和日本朝日新聞社在內(nèi)的11家國內(nèi)外媒體進行了現(xiàn)場采訪,他們都報道了蘇家屯區(qū)政府和遼寧省血栓病中西醫(yī)結(jié)合醫(yī)療中心以事實駁斥“法輪功”謠言的消息。路透社報道的標(biāo)題就是:中國譴責(zé)“法輪功”關(guān)于“集中營”的報道。
美國駐華使領(lǐng)館的官員也曾兩次前往蘇家屯區(qū)探訪。3月22日,美國駐沈陽領(lǐng)事館一名官員來到遼寧省血栓病中西醫(yī)結(jié)合醫(yī)療中心進行了全面參觀,對醫(yī)院的環(huán)境和醫(yī)療條件表示了贊許,并稱回去后將向國內(nèi)的朋友介紹醫(yī)院的情況。隨后,美聯(lián)社就此事采訪了美國駐華使館。據(jù)美聯(lián)社報道,美國駐華使館一名女發(fā)言人表示:“根據(jù)我們目前了解的情況,這家醫(yī)院的功能就是一家醫(yī)院?!保ˋccording to all the information we have been able to obtain thus far, the site is functioning only as a hospital.)4月14日,美國駐沈陽領(lǐng)事館總領(lǐng)事康大衛(wèi)和駐華使館的2名官員等人又來到該醫(yī)療中心進行了3個半小時的詳細(xì)參觀訪問,參觀了該醫(yī)院的所有設(shè)施,包括藥理實驗室、手術(shù)室、食堂倉庫、車庫、垃圾房、鍋爐房、煙囪、檔案室,還參觀了周圍的居民區(qū)。4月16日,美國國務(wù)院發(fā)表了這兩次調(diào)查的報告,報告稱:“沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)證據(jù)可以說明該地方除被用作公共醫(yī)院外還被用作其他用途?!保╢ound no evidence that the site is being used for any function other than as a normal public hospital.)
事實證明,所謂“蘇家屯集中營”,純屬無中生有的捏造?!胺ㄝ喒Α敝圃爝@一彌天大謊,具有險惡的用意:一是混淆是非,欺騙世人,給中國政府抹黑。二是干擾中國國家主席胡錦濤訪美,破壞中美關(guān)系。4月20日,“大紀(jì)元時報”記者王文怡又以蘇家屯事件為由頭大鬧白宮,就是“法輪功”有計劃、有預(yù)謀的行動。在美國這樣的文明社會、法治社會里,王文怡的行為,是對文明、人的尊嚴(yán)和法律的挑釁。她的行為觸犯了美國法律,應(yīng)當(dāng)受到懲處。而事后“大紀(jì)元時報”及王文怡本人不以為恥、反以為榮,仍然不顧廉恥地散布“蘇家屯集中營”的謊言。所有這些,再清楚不過地表明,“大紀(jì)元時報”根本就不是什么正派的媒體,其記者根本就不具有起碼的職業(yè)道德和專業(yè)素質(zhì)。一切有識之士都應(yīng)該認(rèn)識到:“法輪功”根本不講道德,不講誠信,不講尊嚴(yán),不講人權(quán),不講法制。輕信“法輪功”的謠言,放縱“法輪功”造謠,不僅僅損害中國的形象,而且也會有辱自身,甚至淪落到被“法輪功”當(dāng)作廉價的工具加以利用的可悲境地。
二、造謠惑眾是“法輪功”的慣用伎倆
“法輪功”制造“蘇家屯集中營”這樣的謠言并不是第一次,也絕非偶然。造謠惑眾、欺騙世人是“法輪功”的一貫做法。
“法輪功”邪教組織的頭目李洪志本人,就是靠說謊欺騙、造謠惑眾起家的。李洪志曾將自己的出生日期由1952年7月7日改為1951年5月13日,因為這一天是中國農(nóng)歷四月初八,相傳佛祖釋迦牟尼的生日也是中國農(nóng)歷的四月初八,他便以此自稱是“釋迦牟尼轉(zhuǎn)世”。李洪志還穿上在商店買的戲裝,偽造拍攝了一張“打坐蓮花”的“法像”,賣給“法輪功”人員,讓他們把自己作為“宇宙最大的神”來膜拜。
李洪志編造了大量的謊言和歪理邪說來欺騙“法輪功”人員。比如,他說人類已經(jīng)毀滅了81次,地球很快又要爆炸,要靠他來阻止地球爆炸;他說地球是宇宙的垃圾站,美國是地球上最大的垃圾場,只有練“法輪功”才能逃離;他說全人類他都能管,宇宙再大也沒有他大;他不允許“法輪功”人員信仰宗教,說宗教是誤人的,一切都是他安排的,甚至希特勒屠殺猶太人都是天象變化的結(jié)果;他妄稱“科學(xué)是外星人強加給人類的”,計算機是外星人發(fā)明的用來控制地球人的,并稱科學(xué)是邪教;他說“法輪功”人員不能看病吃藥,“真正練功的人沒有病”,“練了法,汽車撞不死”;他說練“法輪功”必須放棄一切,“放下生死便是神”,他要給人類帶來一個壯舉,“讓所有弟子圓滿時帶著身體飛天”;他說不讓練“法輪功”的人都是魔,其中“大逆之魔就是該殺的”,而“法輪功”人員可以在傷害了親人之后再回報他們。
李洪志依靠造謠、謊話、歪理、邪說,對“法輪功”人員實行精神控制,造成大量的“法輪功”人員無辜死亡。其中,1000多名“法輪功”練習(xí)者按照李洪志的要求拒醫(yī)拒藥而死;幾百名練習(xí)者自殘、自殺;30多人無辜被“法輪功”癡迷者殺害。鑒于“法輪功”邪教組織嚴(yán)重侵犯人權(quán)和其他違法犯罪情況,中國政府依法于1999年將其取締,對李洪志等刑事罪犯進行通緝。
李洪志逃到美國后,“法輪功”不僅沒有改邪歸正,而是更加瘋狂地與中國政府為敵,變本加厲地造謠、滋事,以掩蓋自己的罪行、詆毀中國政府。近年來,“法輪功”制造并傳播了大量謠言,這里舉幾個典型例子。
比如,2001年1月23日,7名“法輪功”人員按照李洪志“放下生死”、“追求圓滿”的要求,在北京天安門廣場集體自焚,造成2人死亡、3人重傷致殘。死者均為女性,其中一人年僅12歲。這一事件令世人震驚。事件之后,中國政府全力救治幾名幸存者。但在美國的“法輪功”總部卻公開否認(rèn)自焚人員是“法輪功”練習(xí)者,并造謠說這一事件是中國政府策劃的。對此,該自焚事件當(dāng)事人極其憤怒,公開出面予以揭露。自焚事件的主要策劃者王進東的女兒在2002年聯(lián)合國人權(quán)會上,以其父母及自身練習(xí)“法輪功”后的悲慘經(jīng)歷對“法輪功”造謠進行了駁斥。
比如,2003年5月,“明慧網(wǎng)”大肆炒作“重慶大學(xué)女研究生魏星艷被看守所民警強奸事件”。此事經(jīng)我有關(guān)部門查實,重慶大學(xué)根本就沒有“魏星艷”其人,更沒有“重慶大學(xué)女研究生魏星艷被看守所民警強奸事件”。這是一名“法輪功”人員按照“法輪功”的指令,借他曾經(jīng)在另一個省接觸過的一名色情女郎之名,編造出來的一個謠言。對此,重慶大學(xué)曾公開辟謠。新聞媒體也曾公開報道此事,以事實批駁了“法輪功”的謠言。
又如,2004年8月,“明慧網(wǎng)”大肆炒作“湖北法輪功人員廖元華在監(jiān)獄遭受酷刑”事件,并刊登了17張照片配以文字說明,誣稱該省范家臺監(jiān)獄用30種“酷刑”“迫害”廖元華。此事經(jīng)我公安機關(guān)調(diào)查,是湖北省武穴市的“法輪功”人員廖元華根據(jù)“明慧網(wǎng)”的指令,伙同他人密謀策劃,在廖的住室及市郊的一個磚瓦廠內(nèi),偽造了廖遭受30種酷刑的場景,自己拍攝成照片并經(jīng)過電腦技術(shù)處理,傳發(fā)給“明慧網(wǎng)”進行炒作。參與此案的廖元華等5名犯罪分子均被抓獲,證據(jù)確鑿,5名案犯都供認(rèn)不諱。對此,中國的新聞媒體也曾詳細(xì)報道,予以揭露。
再如,2005年11月,“法輪功”“大紀(jì)元時報”拋出了“九評共產(chǎn)黨”的系列文章。此后,“法輪功”的媒體一哄而上,大肆炒作所謂“退出中國共產(chǎn)黨”活動。且不論“九評共產(chǎn)黨”系列文章中的內(nèi)容,完全是顛倒黑白,造謠誣蔑。單就“退黨”一事,就可以看出“法輪功”簡直把制造謠言當(dāng)作家常便飯,是多么的隨心所欲。按照“法輪功”的說法,自2004年12月3日起始,到2006年4月底,宣布“退黨”的人數(shù)已達(dá)1000多萬。那么,這1000多萬人的數(shù)據(jù)是怎么來的?這1000多萬人都在哪里?統(tǒng)計數(shù)據(jù)應(yīng)該是科學(xué)調(diào)查的結(jié)果,而“法輪功”的“退黨”數(shù)據(jù)靠的是信口胡編。那還不是隨心所欲地可以胡亂編造嗎?況且,這樣一個海量的數(shù)據(jù),誰又能去調(diào)查證實?“法輪功”怎么不解釋一下,為什么已經(jīng)有1000萬黨員退出的中國共產(chǎn)黨領(lǐng)導(dǎo)下的中國,經(jīng)濟發(fā)展蒸蒸日上、社會安定、人民團結(jié)?中共一共有黨員7000萬,按“法輪功”的說法,現(xiàn)在七分之一已經(jīng)退黨,謠言照這樣造下去,7000萬黨員要不了多久就退完了?!胺ㄝ喒Α本褪沁@樣,管你合不合理,管你信不信,我的謠言只管造?!胺ㄝ喒Α本褪侨绱嘶奶?、無恥。
三、“法輪功”為什么要不斷造謠
“法輪功”造謠的目的有三個:
?。ㄒ唬┺D(zhuǎn)移視線,掩蓋其侵犯人權(quán)、殘害生命的歷史和本質(zhì)。在被中國政府取締前,“法輪功”就造成了大量的人員死亡、大量的家庭破裂。“法輪功”被依法取締后,仍然有一些“法輪功”人員無法擺脫李洪志的精神控制,自殺、殺人或拒醫(yī)拒藥而死(附案例)?!胺ㄝ喒Α毙枰粩嘀圃觳⑸⒉贾{言,用謠言吸引世人的注意,企圖使世人看不到或淡忘“法輪功”的害人本質(zhì)和作為其害人根源的李洪志歪理邪說。
(二)騙取同情。“法輪功”編造的謊言,基本上都同人權(quán)有關(guān)。他們通過這些編造的“法輪功”人員被迫害的故事,將自己從侵犯人權(quán)的害人者改頭換面打扮成受害者,企圖騙取西方國家政界和民眾的同情,以便他們在當(dāng)?shù)厣妗l(fā)展。
?。ㄈ樯贁?shù)不明真相或偏聽偏信的西方人士提供攻擊中國的借口。
基于以上事實,我們鄭重地提請關(guān)心中國的朋友們,對“法輪功”的“明慧網(wǎng)”、“大紀(jì)元時報”、“新唐人電視臺”等媒體的宣傳,要保持警惕。要通過各種渠道,多了解事情的真相,千萬不要上“法輪功”的當(dāng),不要被它的謠言所愚弄,更不要被“法輪功”所利用。我們也要求貴國政府,對“法輪功”以毫無根據(jù)的謠言為借口對我使領(lǐng)館進行騷擾的行為加以管制。畢竟,言論自由是以事實和法律為前提的。
Why does falun Gong push 'Sujiatun organ harvesting allegation'?
The so called "harvesting organs alive" propagandized by Falun Gong was just a part of its strategy of deceit. In March of this year, Falun Gong began to propagandize the rumor of "Sujiatun Concentration Camp". Falun Gong claimed that several thousand Falun Gong practitioners were detained in a hospital in Sujiatun district of Shenyang city in Liaoning province, and the organs of most of the practitioners were harvested when they were still alive and their bodies were burned afterward. Subsequently, Chinese government, American embassy in China and some foreign and domestic media investigated the accusation, which was proved to be a complete lie. After the Sujiatun rumor was disclosed, Falun Gong began to transfer the focus of rumor and claimed that there were a lot of so called "live harvesting organs" phenomena in other regions of China. The following are the related materials of the Sujiatun rumor.
The cause and the result of the "Sujiatun Concentration Camp"
In the early March this year, the Falun Gong organization, whose headquarter was in America, deliberately proposed a new lurid rumor, the so called "Sujiatun Concentration Camp Incident" through its two media, "Minghui Net" and "Epoch Times". Falun Gong claimed that there was a concentration camp in Sujiatun District of Shenyang City in Liaoning province, in which there were more than 6000 Falun Gong practitioners detained, and two thirds of them were already dead. Their bodies were burned in the cremator of the concentration camp after their organs were harvested, which were sold illegally to domestic and foreign markets.
Then, surrounding the "Sujiatun Concentration Camp", Falun Gong organization magnified and boosted the rumor without restraint. They canvassed for politicians and publicly held "demonstrations to protest" in some countries, and made disturbances in front of Chinese embassies or consulates in these countries. In a word, they took use of every kind of method. What was especially despicable? On April 20, Wang Wenyi, a reporter of "Epoch Times" of Falun Gong made troubles on the spot by raising this rumor, in the welcoming ceremony held by American government for Chinese president Hu Jintao, which ashamed President Bush and was regarded as a "great embarrassment" (CNN) by some American mainstream media.
Falun Gong was good at fabricating rumors, which was a common thing for Chinese people and no one believed them. However, some people were still cheated easily in foreign countries. As to the rumor of "Sujiatun Concentration Camp", some western people believed it was a truth. Media and politicians of some countries blamed China because of a rumor fabricated by the Cult Falun Gong under the condition that they knew nothing about the truth. Some parliament members in some countries even asked their governments to protest against Chinese government. Actually, there was no need to refute such a ridiculous rumor. However, since there were some people who believed it without verification for various reasons, it seemed that we should disclose the essence of Falun Gong's rumor completely and allow people to see it clearly.
I. "Sujiatun Concentration Camp" was a fairy tale
The so called "Sujiatun Concentration Camp" was just a rumor fabricated by Falun Gong organization. At the time the rumor was fabricated, it was full of contradictions. Therefore Falun Gong had to change the story for many times, but the more it tried to hide, the more it exposed.
At the beginning, Falun Gong claimed in its report that the "concentration camp" was surrounded by wired wall of three meters high, in which a large amount of bodies were burned ceaselessly. People with right judgment knew it was a deceit at the first sight. Why did no one know and report this large-scale "concentration camp" with the wired wall of three meters high for a long time in the urban Shenyang city in which eight million citizens lived? Since the deceit was so uncanny that it was questioned by many people when it was fabricated, Falun Gong changed its story soon. Liaoning Center for Treatment of Thrombus Using TCM and Western Medicine (which was generally called Sujiatun Thrombus Hospital) became the "concentration camp" and Falun Gong publicized the photos of the hospital and the so called "cremator" in the hospital. By doing so, the place was given, but there were new contradictions. Because Liaoning Center for Treatment of Thrombus Using TCM and Western Medicine was a hospital with fame, many patients from foreign countries came here to cure their illnesses. Everyone knew that the hospital only owned 300 sickbeds. There was no way for the hospital to accommodate more that 6000 people, even the hospital denied to treat any patient. Then, Falun Gong corrected itself by claiming that more that 6000 people were detained in the basement of the hospital, but in fact there was no basement in the hospital. As to the "cremator" publicized by Falun Gong, it was actually the boiler room of the hospital, the main function of which was for heating and sanitizing. The boiler room had many bright windows, through which one can see the lawn outside the window. The lawn was a public one and neighboring citizens took a walk here all day long. How did the hospital secretly, ceaselessly, abundantly burn bodies with such kind of facility in such a place? As to the rumor of "harvesting organs and illegally selling to domestic and foreign markets", it was a complete lie. People may ask: whose organs were harvested? In which hospital were their organs harvested? Who did the operations? To whom the organs were sold? If organs of thousands of people were harvested and sold out, why can't Falun Gong answer even one of the above questions? Since the deceit were too uncanny, even Wu Hongda, who lived abroad and called himself an anti-Chinese government "democratic activist" and an expert of "the issue of Chinese labor education", could not tolerate and wrote publicly to American Parliament to deny the authenticity of the deceit.
As regard to the Falun Gong rumor,the Chinese authorities concerned had refuted it for many times. The direct victim of the rumor, Liaoning Center for Treatment of Thrombus Using TCM and Western Medicine, refuted the rumor and clarified the facts in its website "China thrombus disease research Net". In April 4, the spokesman of Chinese Foreign Ministry refuted the rumor of Falun Gong when answering the question raised by a AP reporter. In April 12, the government of Sujiatun District and Liaoning Center for Treatment of Thrombus Using TCM and Western Medicine held a news conference in State Council Information Office of the People's Republic of China and denounced Falun Gong's despicable behavior of fabrication. They announced seriously that they would welcome domestic and foreign media and any person to review on the spot in Sujiatun District.
After Falun Gong fabricated the rumor, many domestic and foreign media went to Sujiatun and made live interviews. For example, in March 24, China News interviewed Sujiatun District and Liaoning Center for Treatment of Thrombus Using TCM and Western Medicine; in March 31, NHK of Japan, Phoenix TV of Hong Kong, Takungpao of Hong Kong interviewed the hospital on the spot. In its report, Phoenix TV pointed out definitely, the secret "concentration camp" claimed by Falun Gong did not exist at all. In the news conference of State Council Information Office of the People's Republic of China in April 12, eleven domestic and foreign media, including CNN, Washington Post, AP, Reuters, Singaporean Zaobao, Hong Kong Phoenix TV and Japanese ASAHI made live interviews, and all of the media reported the information that the Government of Sujiatun District and Liaoning Center for Treatment of Thrombus Using TCM and Western Medicine refuted the rumor of Falun Gong with facts. The headline of Reuters' report was, "China denounced Falun Gong's report of 'concentration camp'."
The officials of American embassy and consulates in China visited Sujiatun District twice. In March 22, an official from American consulate in Shenyang visited Liaoning Center for Treatment of Thrombus Using TCM and Western Medicine. She praised the environment and medical condition of the hospital and said she will introduce the hospital to her friends in America. Later, AP interviewed American embassy in China. According to the AP report, a spokeswoman of American embassy in China expressed, "According to all the information we have been able to obtain thus far, the site is functioning only as a hospital. In April 14, Mr. David A. Kornbluth,the consul general of American consulate in Shenyang and two officials from the embassy made a detailed visit to the medical center which lasted for 3 and half hours. They visited all the facilities of the hospital, including pharmacological laboratory, Operating room, the storehouse of the eatery, Garage, Garbage Room, Boiler, Chimney and Archives room, and they also visited the neighboring residential areas. In April 14, American State Department released a report regarding with the two investigations. The report claimed, "We found no evidence that the site is being used for any function other than as a normal public hospital."
Fact proved that the so called "Sujiatun Concentration Camp" was a fabricated story. Falun Gong had its inclement intentions by fabricating such a story. Firstly it wanted to bring shame on Chinese Government by confounding right and wrong and by deceiving people. Secondly it wanted to disturb the visit of Chinese president Hu Jintao to America and harm the relationship between China and America. In April 20, Wang Wenyi, the reporter of "Epoch Times" made troubles in the White House by raising the issue of Sujiatun incident, which was a designed action of Falun Gong. In a civilized and legal society like America, the action of Wang Wenyi was defiance against civilization, human dignity and law. Her action violated American law and she deserved punishment. However, "Epoch Times" and Wang Wenyi herself didn't take it as a shame after the incident. Moreover, they spread the rumor of Sujiatun Concentration Camp without restraint. All these showed clearly that "Epoch Times" was not a decent media at all, and its reporters didn't have basic professional moral and expertise. People of insight should realize that Falun Gong paid no attention to morality, honesty, dignity, human rights and legal system. Believing the rumor of Falun Gong and giving loose to the rumor of Falun Gong not only harms the image of China, it may also bring disgrace to yourself, and you may face the miserable circumstance of being used by Falun Gong as a cheap tool.
II. Deluding people by fabricating rumors was the habitual trick of Falun Gong
It was not the first time that Falun Gong fabricated rumors like "Sujiatun Concentration Camp", and it was not an accidental incident. Deluding people by fabricating rumors was the habitual trick of Falun Gong.
The ringleader of the cult was Li Hongzhi, who promoted his cult by deluding people with lies and rumors. Li Hongzhi changed his birthday from July 7, 1952 to May 12, 1951 because the latter was April 8 in Chinese lunar calendar, which was the birthday of Sakyamuni in legend. Then he called himself "the reincarnation of Sakyamuni". Li Hongzhi also wore a theatrical costume he bought in a store and took a "Fa picture" of "sitting cross-legged on a lotus flower". He sold the picture to Falun Gong practitioners and asked them to worship him as "the greatest god in the universe".
Li Hongzhi compiled a lot of frauds and heresies to cheat Falun Gong practitioners. For example, he said human being had been destroyed 81 times, the earth was to explode soon and only he was able to stop the explosion of the earth; he said the earth was the garbage station of the universe and America was the biggest refuse dump in the earth, and people could get away from it only by practicing Falun Gong; he said he could control the whole human being, and he is even bigger than the universe; he didn't allow Falun Gong practitioners to believe in religion and said all religions were misleading people, everything was arranged by him and even slaughter of Jews by Hitler was the result of changing astronomical phenomena; he claimed "science is what the ET imposes on human being", computer was what the ET created to control human being, and science was cult; he said there was no need to take medicine for Falun Gong practitioners, "genius practitioner will not get sick", "practitioners will not die even a car strikes them"; he said practitioners of Falun Gong should abandon everything, "you will become a god if you do not care about life and death", he would bring a great miracle to human being by "allowing all practitioners to be raised to the heaven with their bodies when they obtain consummation"; he said people who did not allow others to practice Falun Gong were devils, among them "those regicidal devils should be killed", and Falun Gong practitioners could rebound upon their relatives after hurting them.
Li Hongzhi mentally controlled Falun Gong practitioners by rumors, frauds and heresies, which caused a lot of Falun Gong practitioners' deaths. Among them, there were more than 1000 Falun Gong practitioners died because of denying medical treatment or medicine as demanded by Li Hongzhi; hundreds of practitioners committed suicide; more than 30 innocent people were killed by Falun Gong obsessed practitioners. Given to the human rights abusing and other illegal and criminal situation caused by the Cult Falun Gong, Chinese government banned it in 1999 according to the law and Li Hongzhi and some others were listed as the wanted criminals.
After Li Hongzhi fled to America, Falun Gong didn't give up evil and return to good, it opposed Chinese government even worse and fabricated rumors and made troubles in order to cover up its crimes and defame Chinese government. In recent years, Falun Gong fabricated and distributed a lot of rumors, here are some typical examples.
On January 23, 2001, seven Falun Gong practitioners collectively burned themselves in Tian'anmen Square of Beijing according to Li Hongzhi's demands of "paying no attention to life and death" and "pursuing consummation", which caused two deaths and three severe injuries. All the decedents were female and one of them was only 12 years old. This incident startled the whole world. After the incident the Chinese government tried best to cure the survivals. However, Falun Gong headquarter in America publicly denied the self-burners were Falun Gong practitioners and claimed that the incident was designed by Chinese government. As to this, those who attended the self-burning incident were very angry and disclosed it publicly. Wang Juan, The daughter of the main designer of the self-burning incident Wang Jindong refuted the rumor of Falun Gong with the miserable experiences of her parents and herself after practicing Falun Gong in the UN Human Rights Conference in 2002.
In May 2003, "Minghui Net" sensationalized without restraint that "Wei Xingyan, a female post graduate student of Chong Qing University was raped by a policeman of the detention house". After the investigation by the related authority, there was no student named "Wei Xingyan" in Chong Qing University, and the incident of "rape of Wei Xingyan" was a fabricated story. Actually, in accordance with the direction of Falun Gong, a practitioner who knew the name of a woman who sold her sex in another province, and he fabricated this rumor. Therefore, Chong Qing University refuted the rumor publicly. Media also publicly reported the incident and refuted the rumor of Falun Gong with facts.
In August 2004, "Minghui Net" sensationalized without restraint the incident of "Liao Yuanhua, a Falun Gong practitioner from Hubei province was severely tortured in prison". The Net made public 17 photos of tuture together with the explanation words and accused that Liao Yuanhua was tortured by 30 different kinds of "excruciations" in Fan Jiatai prison in Hubei province. After investigation of police authority, the fact was that Liao Yuanhua, a Falun Gong practitioner in Wuxue city of Hubei province forged 30 kinds of scenes of tortures in the house of Liao and a tile factory in the city suburbs together with others in light of the direction of "Minghui Net". After taking photos of these scenes, he polished these photos with computer and passed them to "Minghui Net". Liao Yuanhua and other four criminals involved with the case were arrested. Since the evidences were irrefutable, the five criminals confessed without concealing anything. Chinese media reported and disclosed the case in detail.
In November 2005, "Epoch Times" of Falun Gong released the series articles of "Nine Commentaries on CCP". After that all the media of "Falun Gong sensationalized the so called "quitting the Party" activity without restraint. There was no need to comment on the contents of the series articles of "Nine Commentaries on CCP", which were just rumors and insults. Just consider the issue of "quitting the Party"; we can realize that Falun Gong regarded fabricating rumors as potluck without restraint. According to the words of Falun Gong, there were more than 10 million people who had "quitted CCP" since December 3, 2004 to late April, 2006. Then, where the statistics of 10 million came from? Where were the 10 million people? Statistics should be a result from scientific investigation. However, Falun Gong statistics of "quitting the Party" were just fiddlesticks. Moreover, who can investigate and verify such a big number? Why Falun Gong didn't give an explanation that China under the leadership of CCP, with 10 million members quitted, could still enjoy a rapid developing economy, stabilize society and unite people? CCP has 70 million party members. According to the words of Falun Gong, one-seventh of CCP members have quitted the Party, then in a forseeable future, all of the 70 million members would quit the Party altogether. This was the style of Falun Gong. No matter it was reasonable or not and no matter you believed it or not, Falun Gong just fabricated its rumors. Falun Gong was just as ridiculous and impudent as this.
III. Why Falun Gong fabricated rumors ceaselessly
They had three objectives:
1) To transfer focus and cover up its history and essence of violating human rights and killing people. Before Falun Gong was banned by Chinese government, it had caused a large amount of deaths and family breaking up. After Falun Gong was banned according to the law, a lot of Falun Gong practitioners still could not break away from the mental control of Li Hongzhi and committed suicide, killed others or died because of refusing medical treatment (refer to the cases attached). It's a necessity for Falun Gong to fabricate and distribute rumors ceaselessly so as to attract people's attention by rumors and to prevent people from realizing or make them forget its evil essence and the heresies of Li Hongzhi, the poisonous source.
2) To cheat people's sympathy. Almost all the deceits fabricated by Falun Gong were related to human rights. They changed their status of a criminal who violated human rights to a victim by fabricating Falun Gong practitioners' stories of being persecuted, in hope of cheating sympathies of western politicians and people so as to survive and develop in those countries.
3) To provide excuses of attacking China for some westerners who don't know the truth or who are biased.
Given to the above facts, we cordially remind friends who care about China to be cautious with the propaganda of Falun Gong's media, such as "Minghui Net", "Epoch Times", "New Tang Dynasty TV". You should try to understand the truth from various channels and do not be cheated by Falun Gong, fooled by its rumors and utilized by Falun Gong. We also request your government to restrict Falun Gong's activities of disturbing our embassies and consulates with baseless rumors. After all, the precondition of freedom of speech should be facts and laws.
