Chinese Buddhists and National Armed Forces Work Together in NTDTV - 53 views - 2 hours ago
Indonesian-Chinese Buddhists are holding social events to help the poor. They are joined by the Indonesian National Armed Forces.

Hundreds of Jakartas poor and needy line up in front of the Ekayana Buddhist Center to receive aid.

No less than 500 packets have been prepared for them by the Chinese Buddhist community in Jakarta.

Five doctors are also on hand to give free medical check-ups and medicine.

Members of the Indonesian National Armed Forces are also on the scene to help distribute the packets.

[Colonel Nugroho Budi, Indonesian National Armed Forces]:
We are helping poor people. We know that nowadays poor people are facing hard conditions as a result of the global economic crisis.

Cooperation in an activity like this one between the Indonesian National Armed Forces and a minority community is still a rare sight in Indonesia.

During the new era of the Suharto regime from 1966 to 1998, government officials discriminated against ethnic Chinese Buddhists.

Such treatment caused mental stress for the Buddhists and an unwillingness to open themselves up to government officials.

After the fall of the Suharto era in 1998, Indonesia began to open up to reform.

Many new laws are being drafted to erase much of the discrimination against Indonesias minority communities.

[Kunardy, Ekayana Buddhist Center]:
The Indonesia National Armed Forces and ourselves are working together for the public interest. The special meaning from todays activity is that we can increase mutual togetherness and friendship.

Indonesia has the largest number of ethnic Chinese in the world outside of the Mainland.

The ethnic Chinese population has reached 4.5% of the total population, and almost 54% of Indonesias Buddhist population are ethnic Chinese.

Private Funeral for Farrah Fawcett NTDTV - 51 views - 2 hours ago
Ryan O'Neal led the procession of mourners at Farrah Fawcett's funeral.



Her long-time companion was one of the pallbearers carrying the casket into the service.



Friends Alana Stewart, the ex-wife of Rod Stewart, and former Charlie's Angels Kate Jackson and Cheryl Tiegs were also in attendance.



Fans and media watched from across the street as the service was closed to the public.


Fawcett's death came just days after O'Neal revealed the pair would finally get married.



They were together for 27 years but never exchanged vows.



They have one son together, Redmond, who has been jailed since April on drug charges.




He was able to attend the funeral after a judge granted his request.



Fawcett — who's wavy hair, deep tan and big smile made her one of the biggest sex symbols of all time — died last week (Thursday, June 25) after a long battle with cancer.



She was 62.

Russian Court Decision to Blacklist Falun Gong Books Overrul NTDTV - 21 views - 3 hours ago
On June 18th, an appeal by Krasnonadars district attorney to put Falun Gong books on an extremist blacklist was denied.

[Michiel Sinitzin]:
The judge, in charge of this case, left the prosecutions petition without further consideration and closed the case. This means that the questionable decision of the court is cancelled entirely and that the lawsuit is closed as of today."

In August last year, a closed-door court decision placed the main text of the Falun Gong meditation practice, Zhuan Falun, and other Falun Gong publications, on a blacklist reserved for extremist literature by the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation.

But on April 28th, a higher court overturned that decision because of due process discrepancies. Falun Gong practitioners were not invited to attend the hearing to defend themselves.

[Anya, Falun Gong Practitioner]:
I have read this book [Zhuan Falun ] several times. It encourages honesty, thinking of others first and abiding by laws. Theres nothing extremist about it. That is why many people from different countries, began writing letters to the Krasnodars court and the Ministry of Justice, protesting against the unlawful decision."

The protests were apparently effective. After the decision was overruled, the DAs second request was not taken into consideration. But the judicial ministry still did not take the book off the extremist list.

[Julia Navalihina, Attorney]:
At present, the judicial ministry unlawfully refuses to take out the following literature from the list, stating that it is necessary to also obtain the new decision from the court of first instance. However, the overturning of the decision itself is already enough to take the book off of the list.

Falun Gong practitioners believe books and materials linked with the practice were blacklisted because of pressure from the Chinese regime. The Chinese Communist Party has been violently persecuting the adherents of practice for the past ten years.

Swine Flu Update from India NTDTV - 785 views - 3 weeks ago
This is the Government Chest Hospital where a team of analysts from the Indian federal government review how local authorities are dealing with swine flu.

Out of the nine cases of swine flu reported in India, seven are from the state of Andhra Pradesh. The other two are from Tamil Nadu state.

A four-and-a-half year old girl has been tested positive for the influenza in Hyderabad.

It's believed that the virus might have been transmitted to the girl through her brother, who was tested positive earlier in the week.

A medical specialist at the Hospital says talks regarding how samples are sent were discussed with the federal team.

[Dr. Sudhakar, Medical Specialist]:
"They have scrutinized all the arrangements made here. They are very mush satisfied and we had dialogue with them regarding the sample sending. How to send the samples early and also communications things."

Although H1N1 swine flu appears mild, it affects mostly older children and young adults. Experts worry it could change into a more dangerous form

On the Beginnings of the Chinese Communist Party

Why did the Communist Party emerge, grow and eventually seize power in contemporary China? Did the Chinese people choose the Communist Party? Or, did the Communist Party gang up and force Chinese people to accept it? The CCP has set itself above all, conquering all in its path, thereby bringing endless catastrophe to China.

New Evidence Helps Organ Harvesting Case NTDTV - 11,642 views - 10 months ago
ANCHOR:
New evidence has come to light that further proves the case that the Chinese Communist Party has been harvesting organs from illegally detained Falun Gong practitioners. A new documentary has unwittingly bolstered the case championed by human rights lawyers David Kilgour [KILL-gore] and David Matas [MAY-tuss]. Here's that story:

NARRATION:
Organs are being harvested from live Falun Gong detainees in Mainland China--this is what David Kilgour—a former Canadian Member of Parliament—and David Matas—a Canadian human rights lawyer—have been saying since 2006. They've been traveling the world with their investigative report in hand, trying to get governments to recognize these atrocities and help put a stop to them. Well, that job just became a little easier--thanks, ironically, to the Chinese Communist Party.

As a key part of their investigation into the organ harvesting allegations, Kilgour and Matas paid a research team to call Chinese hospitals pretending to be searching for an organ. One of these callers talked to a Dr. Lu Guoping. Dr. Lu said that he had traveled to prisons to select Falun Gong detainees who would be killed for their organs, and that his hospital used these organs.

But recently, Dr. Lu was interviewed as part of a documentary film by Hong Kong-based Phoenix TV. In the documentary, Dr. Lu acknowledges that it was he who spoke with this investigator over the phone—but he says his words were changed in the transcript, and that he never admitted to any of the above.

This Phoenix TV documentary has been endorsed by China's Communist Party and is being distributed through its overseas consulates.

But what the documentary fails to mention is that there's an audio recording of that original phone call. So now that Dr. Lu has admitted he was the one who spoke with the investigator, the Communist Party will have a hard time claiming the investigation was made up. And that's a big boost to the credibility of the Kilgour-Matas team.

On their website, Kilgour and Matas are making available the Phoenix TV documentary video alongside the original audio recording of the undercover phone interview. There's also a transcript of the interview in Chinese and English . You can find it all at www.Organ Harvest Investigation.net or click on the link beneath this video on our website, ntdtv.com.

This is Matt Gnaizda and Ben Youngquest, NTD, New York.

Will You Carry The Torch ? NTDTV - 18,663 views - 1 year ago
"Every great movement began with a few people shining the light of understanding into the darkness of oppression."
NJ mayor José "Joey" Torres at a reception hosted by the Human Rights Torch Relay (HRTR)

The Human Rights Torch Relay is an international campaign that seeks to bring an end to all human rights abuses against the people of China, while highlighting the persecution of Falun Gong - the most severely persecuted group in China today. During the run up to the 2008 Olympics, the HRTR will host events in 37 countries across six continents to present its message: The Olympics and crimes against humanity cannot coexist in China.

The Tibetan, Burmese, and Vietnamese communities, the Darfur Support Network (Sudan), Chinese democracy groups, student groups, former Olympians, and representatives from sports and politics are among the relay participants.


Background

Since China was chosen as the 2008 Olympic site, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and Reporters Without Borders have all reported a marked increase in violent repression aimed at silencing groups and individuals the CCP has labeled as enemies.

In June 2005, China's deputy public security minister Liu Jing was given the job of eradicating Falun Gong before the 2008 Olympics.

In April 2006, a secret and unprecedented espionage directive revealed CCP plans to investigate and bar thousands from the 2008 games, including International Olympic Committee members, staff and guests; sponsors; referees, athletes and delegates; media; the Dalai Lama, the handicapped, land rights activists, and anyone who falls within 43 categories of "unwanteds."

Deeply concerned about the Chinese regime's worsening human rights record and, in particular, its horrific treatment of Falun Gong adherents, on June 8th 2007, the Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (CIPFG) sent a letter to the communist leadership asking them to stop the persecution of Falun Gong and to allow CIPFG entry into China to investigate the persecution and the issue of mass, state-sanctioned organ harvesting of Falun Gong practitioners. Not unexpectedly, there was no reply. CIPFG believes that the CCP has confirmed its unwillingness to be transparent and to respect human life; therefore, CIPFG initiated the Relay, which kicked off on August 9, 2007 in Athens, Greece. The event is traveling in Europe, Australia, Africa and South America before coming to the U.S. in March, 2008.
