[People News] December 9 is the International Day of Commemoration and Dignity of the Victims of the Crime of Genocide and of the Prevention of this Crime. Every year on this day, the United Nations holds a series of high-level activities to commemorate the victims of genocide and to celebrate the global commitment embodied in the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, adopted at the founding of the United Nations alongside the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
On that day, citizens of some civilized and free countries also reflect on the obligations stipulated in the Convention. Some residents of France and Falun Gong practitioners held a sit-in in front of the Regional Council of Réunion, an overseas department, displaying pictures and banners to tell the world about the Chinese Communist Party’s crimes against humanity and against human nature, and to remind people to refuse cooperation, exchanges, and affiliations with the CCP, a rogue and brutal regime guilty of genocide and torture.
It is understood that throughout history, the CCP has slaughtered nearly 100 million innocent Chinese citizens through various political campaigns. In particular, since 1999, it has carried out genocidal persecution against more than 100 million Falun Gong practitioners under the policy of “physical elimination, financial cutoff, and reputational destruction.” To date, according to reports from Chinese citizens who have bypassed internet censorship, more than 5,000 Falun Gong practitioners have been killed for practicing “Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance” and striving to be good people, with some even subjected to live organ harvesting, which the CCP uses as a commodity for profit. The CCP also exports crimes such as surveillance, biochemical human marking, and organ exchange for life extension to the international community through means including economic inducements, cultural and artistic cooperation, scientific and technological talent exchanges, joint military exercises, and sister-city relationships.
Réunion Island is a small island with an area of only a little over 2,500 square kilometers, located more than 9,000 kilometers from mainland France, with a population of over 880,000. There is a CCP consulate and “Confucius Institute” on the island, as well as multiple underground organizations under CCP leadership such as “hometown associations” and “fellow-villager associations.” Among them, the capital city Saint-Denis has formed a sister-city relationship with Tianjin, and the city of Saint-Pierre has formed a sister-city relationship with Lishui City, Zhejiang Province.
Mr. Frederic Giacalone, President of the China Awakening Association, said, “We cannot cooperate with a murderous dictatorial regime. The CCP is an evil cult organization that combines atheistic belief with politics and brings disaster to the world. We openly record victim testimonies and document the CCP’s genocidal crimes and lies that deceive the world. This plays an extremely important role in helping to reduce such crimes and in fulfilling key obligations such as preventing genocide.”
Passersby were shocked by the cruelty and ferocity of the CCP’s persecution of righteous faith, and many voiced their condemnation, saying that in today’s civilized world, such destructive and inhumane mass persecution still exists. Some even patted Falun Gong practitioners on the shoulder, offering comfort and encouragement, saying, “You’re doing a good job.”
It is understood that the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide defines genocide as a crime under international law, including acts such as killing members of the group; causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part… The States Parties to the Convention undertake to “prevent and punish” (Article I) such crimes. States Parties bear the primary responsibility for preventing and stopping acts of genocide.
December 10 is International Human Rights Day. On that day, some Falun Gong practitioners continued to express their appeal to end the persecution there: the CCP not only persecutes Falun Gong practitioners, but also persecutes the public’s right to know, right to health, and right to freedom of expression. They also displayed images showing various inhumane and torturous acts carried out against practitioners in mainland China, including electric shocks, injection of toxic drugs, the “tiger bench,” suspension beatings, force-feeding, and more, and reminded citizens to guard against the CCP’s brutal dictatorial values from affecting Réunion’s traditional universal values.
