Germany: Practitioners Hold Activities in Munich to Support the Campaign to Quit the CCP (Photos)

October 08, 2006 |  

(Clearwisdom.net) October 1st, 1949 was the day that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) took power in China by deceit and violence. Since then, the Chinese nation, which has five thousand years of traditional culture, beliefs and wisdom, has gone through a horrendous disaster. Throughout China, people have suffered tremendously. The values of humanity are twisted and morality has degenerated. The CCP's "party culture" has infiltrated and eroded Chinese people's souls. Furthermore, on July 20th, 1999, the CCP started its evil persecution against Falun Gong practitioners, a group of people believing in the principles of "Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance." The persecution is a campaign against humanity. With increasing exposure of their cruel torture methods, the Chinese Communist regime's persecution of Falun Gong practitioners has gradually aroused the indignation of people around the world.

The publication of the "Nine Commentaries on the Chinese Communist Party" (an editorial published by the Epoch Times newspaper) at the end of 2004 has triggered a huge wave of withdrawals from the CCP and its affiliated organizations among the Chinese people. With the powerful momentum of the campaign, so far there have been over fourteen million people declaring their withdrawals from the CCP and its affiliated organizations.

On September 30th, 2006, Falun Gong practitioners from Munich held an event at the Marienplatz Square in the downtown area to support the fourteen million people who have quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations. As the Munich Beer Festival was coming to an end that weekend, and it was a fine autumn day, a large number of tourists from Germany as well as other countries around the world participated in the festival. Not only was people's attention attracted by the peaceful demonstration of the Falun Gong exercises, but they were also shocked by the Chinese Communist regime's atrocities. In particular, after viewing the reenactment of the Chinese regime's harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners, people accepted the informational materials about the persecution against innocent Falun Gong practitioners, as well as information about the great wave of withdrawals from the CCP. Many people also signed the petition to call on the German government to stop the Chinese Communist regime's inhuman atrocities.

"Where does our Master live?"

With the tireless efforts of practitioners worldwide clarifying the facts about Falun Gong, more and more people are now eager to understand Falun Gong. As soon as the practitioners arrived and started to unload materials from their cars, several Germans and Italians came over to ask for information. During the activities, some passersby who understood the fact of Falun Gong presented white roses to practitioners to show their support.

A lot of tourists were from China. Most of them viewed the display boards quietly, while some took pictures from time to time and others accepted materials exposing the Chinese Communist regime's persecution against Falun Gong and copies of the Nine Commentaries. With Falun Gong practitioners' steadfast belief in the principles of "Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance" and tireless efforts in clarifying truth, Falun Dafa has been widely accepted and many people's attitude toward Falun Gong has changed fundamentally. When talking about the founder of Falun Gong, a man asked: "Where does our Master live?"

The Nine Commentaries has made the Chinese Communist regime very nervous

With the progress of the great tide of withdrawals from the CCP, the Chinese Communist regime has become more and more nervous. It has escalated its persecution against Falun Gong practitioners and other people from all walks of life. For example, the regime arrested attorneys Gao Zhishen and Guo Feixiong who openly appealed for justice for Falun Gong. Since the CCP atrocities of harvesting organs from practitioners was exposed last March, the party has intensified its process of destroying witnesses and evidence. On the other hand, the Chinese regime has remained silent or simply denied all of the charges in China, while it use the overseas media and websites under its control to discredit the Nine Commentaries and the movement of withdrawing from the CCP. The CCP has doubled its efforts to persecute the practitioners and human rights activists who spread the Nine Commentaries, and goes after the Chinese people who used their real names to quit the evil party and its affiliated organizations.

A Falun Gong practitioner in Munich, Dr. Huang Sifan, mentioned that five policemen ransacked her mother's home in Bejing last July and found two copies of the Nine Commentaries. The policemen claimed that they would send her mother to a labor camp. Her mother is in her 70s and happened to be hospitalized in critical condition when the incident happened. The policemen then went to hospital to arrest her. Stopped by her mother's doctor, the policemen took away her medical record. Since then, policemen have repeatedly harassed the family and forced them to sign a guaranty letter, promising not to allow her mother to leave Beijing or to leave home on her own. Dr. Huang also said that the Chinese Communist regime has been very nervous about the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, and that from its treatment of an elderly woman in her 70s, we can see how evil and weak the Chinese regime truly is, in spite of the fact that it tries to appear to be strong.

Persisting in doing evil brings self-destruction

The Chinese Communist regime's ruthless and persistent persecution of Falun Gong has raised wide concern in the international society. After the exposure of the regime's atrocities of harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners in March, 2006, many politicians and human rights lawyers have expressed that they want to conduct independent investigations into this situation. More and more people have found that innumerable Falun Gong practitioners, without due legal proceedings, have been imprisoned in forced labor camps, prisons, hospitals and military institutions, where their organs may be removed for transplant for huge profits while they are still alive.

The Vice President of the European Parliament, Edward McMillan-Scott, made a special trip to Beijing last May to investigate China's human rights situation. He met two Falun Gong practitioners in Beijing who told him about how they were persecuted.

On July 6th, 2006, David Kilgour, former Chair of Canada's Parliamentary Subcommittee on Human Rights and former Secretary of State for Asia-Pacific, and David Matas, renowned human rights attorney, held a press conference in Ottawa, in which they released their "Report into Allegation on Organ Harvesting from Falun Gong Practitioners in China." The report confirmed that these organs-harvesting allegations are true.

Australia's ruling party and the largest opposition party recently reached a cross-party consensus on calling for an independent international investigation into the Chinese Communist regime's atrocities of harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners.

On September 4th, 2006, the Swedish Christian Democratic Party, the Leftist Party and the Environmental Party released a joint statement: "The CCP must stop stealing organs," urging the Swedish government to take up a position with other countries in the European Union, European Parliament and the United Nations, to pressure the CCP regime to immediately open all prisons, labor camps, detention centers, hospitals and mental facilities used to detain Falun Gong practitioners for international investigation.

On September 7th, 2006, the European Parliament unanimously passed an Amendment to the "EU-China Relations" Report, demanding the Chinese authority to release Falun Gong practitioner, Bu Dongwei, human rights lawyer Gao Zhisheng, and other human rights defenders. The European Parliament also asked China to rescind the death penalty and not to intimidate, persecute and imprison human rights activists.

On September 28th, 2006, Canadian Minister of Foreign Affairs Peter McKay harshly criticized China for its human rights and democracy situations. This has been one of Canada's bluntest comments on China since the Conservative Party won in a federal election last January.

On September 29th, 2006, the U.S. Congress held its first hearing on allegations of the Chinese Communist regime's seizure of organs from living Falun Gong practitioners. Over 100 people, from congresspersons from both parties and their assistants, as well as others from the U.S. government agencies, think tanks and the media, attended the hearing. Senior Congressman Dana Rohrabacher of the House Committee on International Relations urged the U.S. government to take further action to stop these crimes.

As an old saying puts it, persisting in evil brings self-destruction. If the Chinese Communist regime continues its atrocious persecution against Falun Gong, it will eventually be abandoned by the world as a whole, and the CCP will soon be eliminated by Heaven.
