(Clearwisdom.net) On the morning of April 25, 2011, Falun Gong practitioners in Poland held activities in front of the Chinese Embassy in Warsaw to commemorate the 12th anniversary of the April 25 Appeal, a peaceful appeal for the basic right of belief in Beijing by over ten thousand Falun Gong practitioners.

Falun Gong practitioners hold an event in front of the Chinese Embassy on April 25 every year. They expose the persecution of Falun Gong and call for more people to help end the persecution.
As soon as the activity started, two police cars pulled up, just like in previous years. The policemen told the practitioners that the Chinese Embassy had called them to request increased security. The policemen couldn't understand why, because Falun Gong practitioners had been peacefully demonstrating and doing the exercises here for the past several years. They peacefully made their appeal without any shouting of slogans or violation of rules. The Chinese Embassy officials were obviously trying to interfere with the practitioners' activity by calling in the police, as they fear more people learning the facts about the persecution of Falun Gong.
The police car pulled in front of the practitioners and their display at first. After a policeman listened to Falun Gong practitioners' explanation about the significance of their activity, he talked to the other policemen. They moved their cars to a spot next to display.
A young policeman asked practitioners, “You were here yesterday. Why are you here again?” Practitioners told him about Falun Gong, the significance of the April 25 Appeal, and how practitioners improved their morality. The policeman was fascinated. He couldn't bear to see the pictures of persecution victims. He called on his radio, “Report: Today is a special and important day. The Chinese regime started the persecution of Falun Gong twelve years ago. So Falun Gong [practitioners] are holding a demonstration. They said it is the 12th anniversary of an appeal by over 10,000 Falun Gong practitioners in Beijing.”
Many people took advantage of the Easter holiday to take a spring vacation. When passing the activity, they asked for information and were appalled by the brutality of the persecution. Some seniors who read the display said, “The Communist Party is evil!”
