“Legal experts have confirmed that crimes against humanity and genocide have occurred. Evidence also shows that large numbers of people practicing Falun Gong have been killed for important organs in communist countries. It shows that. “
Mr. Chipcar also said that the CCP’s influential activities have led to acquiescence to the persecution of the international community.
“There has never been more international silence in the face of such a major crime against humanity, as observed in the persecution of Falun Gong over the last 23 years,” he said. “Why? The CCP tried to indifferently manipulate the international community using monetary, political pressure, and hatred propaganda to attack Falun Gong.”
