US Congressman Rohrabacher: "It's time for the civilised world to say 'no' to the monsters that are tearing apart people in China"

When interviewed about the atrocities occurring in secret Chinese concentration camps, US Congressman Dana Rohrabacher said, "This is gruesome and clearly beyond the moral standard of almost every country that I know. It's time for civilised world to say 'no' to the monsters that are tearing apart people in China." Rohrabacher called for an investigation and making the truth known to the people of the world.

Rohrabacher said, "We, as legislators, as statesmen and Americans, must not also become complicit in these crimes by keeping silent. History cares not whether we inked another trade deal or helped sell another Boeing 747, but history will judge us if we choose to look the other way when faced with truly indescribable human suffering on this scale."

Rohrabacher continued, "We have a responsibility to have our President express America's strong wish to have a full investigation of these charges and demand an explanation from Chinese leader Hu Jintao during his upcoming visit and an agreement to allow on-site third-party investigations. I think you will agree this is the least we can do."

Rohrabacher noticed the surge of organ transplant centres in the past few years in China, and said, "On the website for the just one transplant centre, the Oriental Organ Transplantation Center in Tianjin (www.ootc.net), we could see a graph of their 'achievements' shows the number of procedures growing by leaps and bounds after 1999, the year the persecution of Falun Gong officially began."

Rohrabacher said this may be the grisly reason why there is no waiting list for human organs in China. The kind of moral complicity required for the non-consensual removal and sale of human organs is certainly unique, that it is an issue that we cannot ignore.

Rohrabacher pointed out that many people like to think that China is a good place to do business and make money, but they don't want to recognise that the people running China are involved in monstrous crimes that no civilised person would associate with. "Now we ignore so many bad things that they have done, that Chinese communist expects to ignore this as well. That doesn't mean the rest of our country has forgotten these values."

Rohrabacher said, "I believe that when a country doesn't stand for a certain moral principles and closes its eyes to oppression. In the end that decision comes back to hurt the county who is trying to close its eyes and not recognise evil. In that case, China again, the Chinese communist country is demostrating evil that deserves condemnation of the entire civilised world."

Rohrabacher expressed that, "It's important to the elected people in the United States to speak loudly on behalf of the entire American people to let those in suffering in China and across the world know that we are on their side. We are on the side of those people who are being oppressed, not the brutal dictators who control them, even though a lot of American businessmen are making money in China."

Rohrabacher pointed out that many people should go to China, but they should talk to the people who are being oppressed rather than spending their times with oppressors. Rather than spending their time with torturers, they should spend time with people being tortured.

Rohrabacher believes that eventually the American people will reach an understanding of what's going on in China and there will be a backlash against the Chinese communist leadership from the United States. "Hopefully we then offer much more support to those people like Falun Gong in China who asked only to be able to live their lives in freedom."
