报导引述李祥春的话说,2003年1月,中共当局在他回中国探亲期间,以莫须有的罪名将他监禁三年,他在这期间历尽磨难。但最让他痛苦的是,中共当局以他病危的母亲作为要挟,要他放弃修炼法轮功。

这部片长50分钟的记录片,由《新唐人电视台》和“未来世界(World2BeProductions)公司”联合制作。影片通过两位法轮功学员的真实经历,揭露了中共当局多年来对法轮功学员的残酷迫害,以及活体摘除法轮功学员器官的真相。影片已获得美国“第45届休士顿国际电影节”评委特别奖等四个重要奖项。

据《美国之音》报导,西藏流亡议会北美议员扎西朗杰表示,在国际人权日举行对在中共统治下的藏人的声援,是因为藏人为了西藏的自由、藏人的自由,抗议中共的统治,牺牲他们的生命。他说,在这关键的时刻,全世界的藏人、全球生活在自由世界的人们,有责任站出来支持西藏人民。

美国人权活动人士杨建利、陈破空、唐元隽等,也到场表示支持。
