Heroic Mr MacMillan Scott
Edward MacMillan Scott doubtless has numerous talents.. He is vice president of the European parliament, after all. One of these talents is the ability to pick a good assistant. Congratulations Jennifer Forrest, for going to China with your boss and coming back with a detailed and gruesome account of how Falun Gong prisoners are treated. Falun Gong is a harmless spiritual belief system, sometimes called the new Chinese Yoga, the daily practice of which by millions of Chinese people gets up the Chinese government’s noses. The police force arrests FG practitioners after tip offs, and put them labour camps, and calls them insane.
Then they are slaughtered for their organs, and these are transplanted into westerners. There is no cumbersome judicial process. Like fish in a Chinese fish restaurant, they are just, kept alive, indefinitely, until needed. Until the cell door key turns. Talk about Chinese takeaway! They are still alive when strapped to the operating table. Their hair is taken for wigs, every organ torn out, by experienced surgeons working in teams; stored, and used. The husk of the body is thrown into an incinerator. Hippocrates would not have been impressed.
Always detail! And Forrest provides it. She and Macmillan met two practitioners at a seedy, anonymous, identified hotel in Peking. One was Can Dong, aged 36, another Niu Junping, aged 52. There were filmed and interviewed with their backs turned. There was an interpreter; he was arrested immediately afterwards and questioned by police for seven hours. .
China is hosting the Olympics in 2008.
Can Dong told the MEP that he started practising Falun Gong in 1995, before the persecutions. He liked its peaceful principles; a subsequent eye problem was cured by its practice. Nine days after he got married, he was arrested. He has seen his wife for three weeks in the last four years.
He made jade jewellery for export to Europe in the camp, was kept in cells with dozens of other political prisoners, including Tiananmen square protesters and Buddhists. The police tortured him with sleep deprivation He is unemployed. He is one of the lucky ones.
Sterling chap that he is, McMillan Scott took at a business card and said to Can Dong that if he needed help, give him a call! No doubt they will do lunch next time Dong passes through Brussels.
Then, man number two. His story. Nu Jinjian’s wife was still breast feeding when she was throwin in jail. She spent 10 hours a day from the ceiling with a rope a round her neck, her topes only just touching the ground. He had to spend 100,000 yuan to secure her release. He showed the MEP and his assistant the burns he had suffered while being prodded with an alectric baton; he was eventually released with the help of a doctor. He is unemployed, bevause the police have to sign a document declaring a citizen fit for work and, as said, they think the Falung gong are insane.
McMillan-Scott asked Niu Jinping whether there was anything seditious about Falun Gong. He said no. And then the MEP flew back to Europe.
I have summarised the document, so don’t do it justice. But it is a good little report, much better than the usual shit MEPs put out.
Now, my story. A few weeks ago I went down to the House of Lords. There I talked to Lona; due to my inferior interviewing skills compared to Forrest, and the fact that I lost my notes that day, all I can remember is that Lona worked 16 hour days in her labour camp, made chopsticks, her friends had to do some of her quota to or the cops would punish the whole team for being tardy; she had her blood and extensive health tests taken. She was given food that made her dizzy and confused, Lona renounced Falun Gong and was released. Shortly after, on 19 May her husband was arrested, and sentenced to 2.5 years in a labour camp; the government seems to like these conjugal swing door arrangements. Her friend who was with her in Paris was beaten with iron bars; another she believes has been harvested.

Kilgour report backs up
Often the movement demonstrates outside Chinese embassies abroad, often imaginatively. (see picture) This time Lona was - soberly dressed - down at the Lords to give eyewitness support to David Kilgour.
Kilgour is an upper-class Canadian, as patrician tall, blue eyes, craggy, lanky, wit as dry as the prairie wind. Top family – his brother-in-law is John Bruton, ex PM.
He has been an MP for decades, and was its deputy foreign minister until last year . The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation calls him the only romantic figure in Canadian foreign affairs – its Lawrence of Arabia. He cares about some things more than others. He traded in his vote with the one minority government of Paul Martin so that the Canadians would put boots on the ground in Darfur. Which didn’t happen; because the government fell on another issue.
Since May he and David Matas, the director of Helsinki Watch Canada, have putting together a report on the organ harvesting. They have put their considerable reputations on the line
Here are their analysis of the disgusting persecutions of the Falun Gong: I won’t say more here. http://investigation.go.saveinter.net/
Did I say that China will be hosting the Berlin Olympics in 1936?
