Falun Gong or Falun Dafa is an Chinese spiritual practice founded by Mr. Li Hongzhi, that is good for health, mind and body. Its teachings are of the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance, which help practitioners improve themselves from the inside out. Such a beautiful practice has benefited over 400 million people in 85 countries around the world, yet in China, its place of origin, it is being violently persecuted by the Chinese Communist Government.
Right now in China, hundreds of thousands Falun Dafa practitioners are being brutally persecuted. Thousands have already died at the hands of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Those who survived the detention camps have brought their stories to the public; stories of horrifying torture, physical and mental abuse, and worst of all, live organ harvesting.
The CCP is making a profit from taking the organs from live practitioners and selling them to hospitals for transplant patients. After the bodies are harvested of all useful organs the bodies are then burned to rid of any evidence.
One of the most devastating facts about the situation is that the people of China do not even know what is going on. Because the CCP has such a control over every aspect of China, including the media, they have lied to their people, calling Falun Dafa an "evil cult". Because we have freedom of speech and press in our countries, it is our duty to expose one of the most evil persecutions in history.

Çin’de gizli olarak inşa edilmiş ve organ ticaretinde doğrudan rol alan toplama kampları ortaya çıkarıldı. Bunlardan birisi de Sujiatin Toplama Kampı.
Sujiatin bölgesi Shenyang kenti Lioning beldesinde insan organları için büyük bir pazarın varlığı kanıtlandı. Doku uyumu, organların alınması ve cesetlerin yok edilmesi süreci, organ sağlayıcısı konumundaki tutsakların kaçırıldığı ölüm kampından başlayıp sonu hastaneye yani “organ pazarına” kadar çıkıyor. Tüm bu yollar için sistematik bir düzen geliştirilmiş. Bu düzen, elde edilecek organların türüne göre tutsakların nasıl infaz edileceklerini belirleyen tamamiyle farklı bir düzen. Kaçırılmanın ardından, dış dünya ile tüm bağlantısı kesilen Falun Dafa uygulayıcılarının organları çıkartılıyor ve cesetleri hemen yakılıyor. Kimse nerede olduklarını ve nasıl yok edildiklerini bilmediğinden, geride hiç bir kanıt kalmıyor.
Sujiatun Toplama kampındaki operasyonlar 2001 senesinde başlamış ve çalışmalar 2002 yılında en yoğun halini almış. Daha önceleri hava kuvvetleri üssü olarak veya daha başka yer altı faaliyetleri için kullanılan bu yer, bir toplama kampı haline dönüştürülmüş. Yapılan bütün operasyonlar yeraltında gerçekleştiriliyor ve burası Sujiatun’daki bir hastanenin yakınında bulunuyor. Bir kapısı, hastanenin arka girişindeki kapılarından birine bağlı. Dışarıdan bakıldığında sıradışı görünen hiçbir şey yok. Bu kuruluş çok ciddi bir güvenlik altında ve dışarıyla alakası tamamen kesik. İhtiyaçlarını yeraltı dükkanları ile karşılıyor.
Bu olay, organ nakli yöntemlerini yürüten, destek zinciriyle birbirine bağlantılı merkezleri ve yerel hastaneleri de içeriyor. Shenyang ve Lianoing’deki yüksek düzeydeki devlet memurlarının ve özellikle sağlık yönetim kuruluşlarında çalışanların hepsi suç ortakları. Bu operasyonun kuruluşu ve yönetimi ÇKP hükümetinin merkez otoritesinin direkt emri altında.

Trandtruk was commissioned by by Songtsen Gampo in the 7th century and is one of his demonness-subduing temples (Jokhang being another). It is not big but very atmosferic - close to Tsetang.

Erik Törner is a Tibet analyst from IM who last visited Tibet in January 2011.
”It was a cold time, hardly no tourists visit Tibet in winter time. On the other hand, as it is too cold to work for both farmers and nomads, they traditionally have a month of and go on pilgrimage. Thereby, all sights where filled with Tibetans, mostly from the countryside.
Dressed up for the occasion, and very curious to meet Westerners, they made it worth sleeping without heat or electricity in below zero temperatures.”
