During the 30-minute rally, Falun Gong practitioners held up banners and posters, with photos exposing the CCP's brutal persecution of Falun Gong practitioners.
Falun Gong spokesperson Mr. Cai said in his speech, "On July 20, 1999, former CCP head Jiang Zemin initiated the persecution of Falun Gong. Practitioners in China and around the world have conducted peaceful protests for eleven years."
He pointed out that the CCP uses all means, including more than one hundred torture methods, to persecute Falun Gong practitioners. Among the torture victims, the majority have been women and elderly people. During the past eleven years, more than 3,400 Falun Gong practitioners were tortured to death, which are only the documented cases to have made their way out of China.
Mr. Cai said, "In 2006, insiders disclosed that CCP doctors harvested vital organs from living Falun Gong practitioners and had the remains cremated to destroy the evidence. Unknown numbers of Falun Gong practitioners were killed in agony like this."
He continued, "In the past eleven years, Falun Gong practitioners in China upheld the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance and conducted peaceful protests. Practitioners in other countries raised awareness through various efforts. Their activities have helped many governments and people learn of the situation and show their support. In contrast, the CCP has lost support during the persecution and faces its demise with the growing movement of quitting the CCP and its affiliated organizations."
He declared at the end of his speech, "On this International Human Rights Day, we call on the Malaysian people and people across the world to continue supporting Falun Gong and help stop the persecution."
