  1. Australians Call on Prime Minister to Bring Up Falun Gong Issue During China Trip
    September 07, 2016

    (Minghui.org) Before Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull's visit to China for the G20 Summit, Falun Gong practitioners and supporters held several large scale rallies in Sydney, Canberra and Brisbane, requesting the Prime Minister to bring up the persecution of Falun Gong during his meeting with Chinese leaders and to help stop the state-sanctioned forced organ harvesting of prisoners of conscience in China.

    Several lawmakers gave speeches at the rally held at Martin Place in Sydney on August 31.

    David Shoebridge, member of the New South Wales Legislative Council (Greens), strongly condemned the forced organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners in China. He believes that the prime minister has the responsibility to bring up this issue with the Chinese leaders.

    Shoebridge also condemned the former Australian government for being inactive on the issue of human rights violations in China. He wanted to stress the point to the prime minister that Australia will not lose anything if the government stands up to protect Falun Gong practitioners and other suppressed groups.

    Shoebridge told the attendees of the rally that he has proposed a resolution to the council to ban organ transplant trips to China.

    Lee Rhiannon, federal senator, sent a letter to the rally, expressing the support of the Greens Party. In the letter, she slammed the mainstream media for keeping silent on the forced organ harvesting in China.

    Senator Rhiannon believes that the U.S. House Resolution 343 and similar resolutions and statements in Canada and Europe, which condemn this crime, give people hope, for these resolutions show that the world is paying attention.

    She told the rally attendees that after the forced organ harvesting in China was exposed in 2006, a hospital in Queensland specialized in organ transplant stopped their program of training Chinese physicians and stopped collaboration with Chinese researchers. But Rhiannon believe that the Australian government should take more action, including passing the resolution proposed by David Shoebridge.
