(Minghui.org) On the evening of July 20, 2013, Falun Dafa practitioners in Atlanta rallied at Chinatown to hold a candle light vigil to commemorate fellow practitioners who have died as a result of persecution by the CCP. Several practitioners from Mainland China spoke at the rally about the torture that they have experienced firsthand and called on the world to help stop the evil persecution immediately.

Michelle from the Ukraine and Ms. Zhiying from Korea came to the rally. When they learned of the forced organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners in China by the CCP, they were shocked.

Michelle said, “I am more than surprised, I am shocked.” Ms. Zhiying said, “Me too. What they have done is inhuman. I am very saddened by it too. I didn't know that the Chinese Communist government is harvesting organs from living people. China ought to be more open and move toward democracy. I was expecting the Chinese Communist government to get better, but it seems hopeless. I knew that people were not allowed to use Facebook and Twitter freely in mainland China. I feel sad for the Chinese people.”

A rally participant called the persecution and the practitioners' peaceful resistance a battle of good and evil, and now a time to test the conscience of every human being. After 14 years, the evil persecution is doomed to fail, and Falun Dafa is spreading far and wide. It is bringing hope to the world, and justice will prevail.
