Wei Jingsheng Meets with Japanese Members of the Diet; Urges Japan to Block the Chinese Communist and North Korea from Playing with Nuclear Weapons

(The Epoch Times Japan 10/27/2006 by Epoch Times reporter Zhang Ben-Zhen in Tokyo)

On visit to Japan, renowned democracy and human rights activist Wei Jingsheng, while meeting with Japanese Members of Diet, on October 26 described his experience on death row where convicts and police confirmed that organs were harvested from prisoners. He said that Chinese people today, including Communist Party members, already do not believe in the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), the party may collapse at any time. Wei Jingsheng said even more outspokenly that the CCP planned and directed the problem of North Korea's nuclear power. Furthermore, that Japan as Asia's most powerful nation ought to work hard, otherwise, who else to prevent the CCP and North Korea from playing with nuclear weapons?

Wei Jingsheng was speaking on the invitation by the Japan's Democracy in Asia and China, at the Japanese House of Representatives to meet with the Representatives and the Senators. He spoke earnestly with Japanese members of the Diet from different parties. Around thirty people attended including Diet members, former Diet members and other representatives.

The former vice minister of the Ministry of Justice, the current chairman of the Democracy in Asia and China Mr. Marino Seishu; House Representative Edano Yukio, Democratic Party Constitution Research Committee president; Democratic Party Secretary General, Diet member Dr. Yukio Hatoyama; all spoke to welcome Wei Jingsheng on his visit to Japan and to express their hope for China to move toward freedom and democracy.

After they spoke, Wei Jingsheng lectured for approximately thirty minutes. He said that many Chinese hope to study the Japanese democratic system; and expect that Japan, having become democratic and wealthy, ought to pay attention to its international image and take on greater responsibility in the world, especially for peace in East Asia, progress toward democracy, and human rights. He believes it is unfair that Japan that possess great economic strength and a good political systems to be slighted by the world. He suggested that, after North Korea's nuclear explosion that resulted tension in Asia's political atmosphere, Japan ought to work hard to prevent the CCP and North Korea from playing nuclear games. On the issue of Asian security, Japan plays an extremely important and irreplaceable role. Japan ought to prevent these dangerous countries and politicians from igniting warfare, at the same time support democracy and human rights in all countries, should be the best long-term strategy for preventing war.

In the discussion following, Japanese Diet member, Mr. Matubara Hito expressed that after reading the Epoch Times report on the independent Canadian investigation of allegations of the Chinese Communist Party's harvesting of organs from Falun Gong practitioners he felt it was convincing. He said that this is an extremely cruel violation of human rights. Wei Jingsheng responded to his comment and explained that in 1981, while still on death row he investigated this claim. Not only did other convicts, but even police officers confirmed that such a thing took place. He previously testified in 1998 at a U.S. congressional hearing on the subject. Last year CCP Minister of Health acknowledged that organs are harvested from executed prisoners. Presently, from outside China it is difficult to gather evidence (related to the allegations), but according to his investigations from the past, police who had participated in organ harvesting explained the process in detail. Even the police officers said it was so ruthless they could not bear it, for days they would be unable to sleep.

Responding to a Diet member's question about China's current situation, Wei Jingsheng said: look at Hu Jintao's move before Shanghai's mayor Chen Liangyu's arrest, he changed the officers of the guards at the central compound, he switched the directors of the Shanghai Military Police, explaining that they were protecting against a military coup. Conflicts within the CCP are extremely serious; it may collapse at any time. Now Chinese people are different from 100 years ago, a majority hope for democracy, so democracy will certainly emerge in China, and right now is a critical time period.

Former representative, Japan-Taiwan Economic Security Research Council president Mr. Nakatsugawa said, Japan and Taiwan share common value systems, completely opposite of the Chinese Communist Party. Wei Jingsheng explained that when CCP dictators rise in power they have to have a war to establish their authority, thus the conditions for peaceful coexistence of Taiwan and the Chinese Communist regime do not exist. But the CCP must carefully plan its attack on Taiwan and find an opportune moment. They have to satisfy three conditions: 1) Russia's support, 2) a fundamental break between NATO allied nations and the U.S., and 3) a weak Japan, for practically speaking China's fighting Taiwan is like fighting the U.S. The CCP has always aimed missiles and other new weapons in preparation for war, but these three conditions have never co-existed. Wei thinks that, as long as Japan stands with the U.S., Taiwan will be secure.

Wei Jingsheng believes that Hu Jintao, when compared with his predecessors on the issue of suppression and massacre of ethnic minorities -- nothing has changed. If anything has, the situation has become even more ruthless, and more cunning.

"My life is has been given to me by you," Wei Jingsheng thanked Japanese, European and American politicians and people who worked for his rescue for more than ten years. Furthermore he pledged to continue to cooperate with everyone to protect world peace, and push for democracy in Asia.

In November 1997 Wei Jingsheng was rescued to the U.S. In 1998 he planned to travel to Japan, but a few days before traveling his passport was mysteriously stolen. This is his first trip to Japan. He said, this is a trip of gratitude, but also to call on Japan to understand more thoroughly China's human rights situation, and to pay greater attention to the progress of democracy in China.

魏京生与多名日本参、众议员在日本国会会谈；促日阻中共、北韩玩核游戏

【大纪元10月27日讯】（大纪元记者张本真东京报导）正在日本访问的中国著名民主人权斗士魏京生，26日在日本国会议员见面时亲身指证，当年坐死牢时，就有犯人、警察证实活体摘取被囚人士的器官事件。他指出，现在的中国人包括中共党员已经不相信中共，中共随时可能崩溃。魏京生更直言，中共设计、导演了北韩核问题，而日本是亚洲最强大国家，应该做出努力，否则，谁能阻止中共、北韩玩弄核游戏?

魏京生当天应日本亚洲和中国民主化支援会的邀请，在日本国会众议院与各党派国会议员恳谈，约三○位议员及其代表参加。

曾任日本法务部副部长、现任中国民主化支援会会长的牧野圣修、民主党宪法调查会会长枝野幸男、民主党干事长鸠山由纪夫等都致辞欢迎魏京生访日，并期待中国走向自由民主。

随后魏京生在约30分钟的讲话中表示，很多中国人希望学习日本的民主制度；期盼日本在民主、富裕之后，应该注意自己在国际上的形象，在世界、特别是东亚和平上、在推进民主、人权上承担更多责任。

他认为，拥有强大经济实力、良好的政治制度的日本在世界上常受到轻视是不公平的；北韩核爆之后，亚洲政治空气紧张，日本应该努力阻止中共、北韩玩弄核游戏。在亚洲和平问题上，日本扮演着非常重要、不可替代的角色。应该要制止这些危险的国家和政客带来战争，同时支持所有国家的人权和民主，是制止战争的长期政策。

在之后的交换意见中，民主党议员松原仁表示看过大纪元报导的加拿大独立调查团关于中共活体摘除法轮功学员器官指控的调查后，觉得非常有说服力，他指出，这是非常残忍的人权侵害事件。魏京生就此回应时指出，1981年他还在死牢中就调查过，不但有犯人、还有警察证实这样的事情，他也曾就此于1998年在美国国会作听证。去年中共卫生部长承认活摘死刑犯器官。现在外部还很难收集到(有关指控)所有证据，但据他当年调查，参与活摘的警察介绍活摘的详细过程，连警察都说残忍的不能忍受，回家几天睡不着觉。

在回答议员关于对中国局势的看法时，魏京生说，看看胡锦涛在扣留陈良宇之前的动作，换了中央警备师所有军官，换了上海武警部队指挥权，说明他们是防止军事政变，中共内部矛盾极其严重,随时可能崩溃。现在中国人与100年前不同，大多数希望民主，所以中国必定要出现民主，而现在是最重要的时期。

前众议院议员、日本台湾安保经济研究会会长中津川博乡表示，日本与台湾分享共同价值观，与中共则完全不同，魏京生分析，中共独裁者上台都需要一场战争来树立自己地位，所以台湾与中共政权和平共处的条件不存在。但是中共要仔细计算打台湾时机，他们得出三个条件:1.俄罗斯支持、2.北约盟国与美国产生根本分歧、3.实际上对台战争等于对美战争，所以需要软弱的日本。中共一直在导弹、新式武器等方面作战争准备，但一直没有这三个条件的同时成立。他认为，只要日本坚决站在美国一边，台湾就会安全。

魏京生认为，胡锦涛与其前任相比，在镇压、屠杀少数民族方面没有改变，要说有的话，就是变得更残忍、更狡猾。

"我的生命等于是你们给的"，魏京生感激日本和欧美众多政治家和民众十多年的营救，并且誓言继续与大家合作以维护世界和平、推进亚洲民主。

1997年11月魏京生被营救赴美，98年预定来日前护照奇异被盗，此次首次来日，他表示，既是感谢之旅，亦是唤起日本对中国人权更多了解、对中国民主进程更多关心。
