The car tour is carried out by Falun Gong practitioners as part of a national event where members head to regional centres and get their message beyond the city and also explain their beliefs.

The SOS tour hopes to get the Australian Government to take a stance on live organ harvesting in China.

Falun Gong practitioners among other spiritual and religious groups are persecuted in China for their beliefs.

Sixty-five-year-old Falun Gong practitioner Zhang Fengying from Beijing accompanied the tour and said she was arrested and detained five times in her home country.

Speaking through an interpreter she said that she was held at the infamous Tuanhe labour and reeducation camp in Beijing where she was tortured by Chinese authorities.

This included being held down by four people and force fed with a tube when holding  hunger strikes.

She also said she was shackled in chains for extended periods that left her bleeding.

This car tour has been launched based on updated information about the persecution of Falun Gong and the link to organ harvesting.

The report, based on investigations from 2006 to 2016, is by former Canadian politician David Kilgour, human rights lawyer David Matas, and journalist Ethan Gutmann.

It shows that organ transplants are carried out in China 10 times more than official government figures reveal.
