WASHINGTON DC—The Chinese Communist Party is in a state of near collapse under the weight of its moral deterioration, crimes against humanity and the mounting withdrawals from its ranks, said speakers at a mass rally held on July 20 at the Washington Monument in DC.
The rally, followed by a parade through downtown Washington, was organized to celebrate the 24 million Chinese who have renounced their ties to the CCP or its affiliated organizations over the last 2.5 years since the Quit the CCP movement began.
Dr David Gao, Co-founder and President of the Global Service Centre for Quitting the CCP that co-sponsored the event, described the peaceful yet powerful process of the communist regime’s disintegration.
The Chinese people carry “5000 years of glorious history and great moral standing,” said Gao, adding that they were now emerging from the “terror and fear” of living under the CCP.
“They are using the most peaceful, most rational and most efficient way to thoroughly abandon and disintegrate the CCP, namely by withdrawing from its organizations,” he said in his address to a crowd of several thousand.
The quit the CCP movement has its origins in The Epoch Times’ editorial series, Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party , which revealed for the first time to the Chinese population the full extent of the atrocities committed by the CCP throughout its history. Many of the rally’s line-up of statesmen, academics, democracy advocates and former communists talked about these crimes.
Timothy Cooper, Executive Director of Worldrights, conducted a mock trial of the CCP declaring it time for the regime “to stand before the bar and answer for its crimes.” He placed on the stand to testify the millions upon millions of victims of successive persecution campaigns including journalists, doctors, all intellectuals, students of Tiananmen Square and Falun Gong practitioners.
Falun Gong is currently the victim of one of the worst persecutions in history, noted several speakers including Dr Damon J. Noto from Doctors against Organ Harvesting. Dr Noto talked about the significant evidence that the recent transplantation boom in China is built on “unethical and unacceptable medical practices,” namely that the CCP is killing imprisoned Falun Gong practitioners to sell their organs.
“It is alarming how tens of thousands of transplantations were performed in the recent years in China without having a public organ donation program in place. It is implausible how transplantations can be scheduled in advance” and on short notice without any organ donation program, explained Dr Noto.
