(Minghui.org) Fremantle, located near Perth in Western Australia, is a popular vacation spot that attracts both domestic and overseas tourists. While enjoying beautiful scenery and historic sites, visitors can also learn about the ongoing severe human rights violations that are ongoing in China.
Practitioners come to Fremantle every Sunday, set up a booth, and tell people about the brutal persecution in China, and the organ harvesting from living practitioners. Intrigued by the posters, many people stop by the table for more information.

Residents and Tourists Sign Petition to Support Falun Gong
Three teenagers with skateboards walked by one day, and were curious about what was going on. After they saw the display that illustrated the organ harvesting atrocity, and mocked it, a practitioner explained to them what was happening in China. After hearing the facts they became serious and walked away with some printed materials.
These three teenagers returned after a while with a young adult. All looking very serious, they signed the petition that called for an end to this brutality, and left their contact information.
A middle-aged man from Brisbane became very interested after hearing about the severe persecution in China, “I also want to improve my mind and body, and I heard Falun Gong was very powerful. Can I give it a try?” Upon hearing yes, he became very excited, and said he would buy Falun Gong books soon to learn.
Jenny lives in the countryside in Western Australia. She learned Falun Gong exercises from a practitioner several years ago, but did not continue after moving to another town. Upon seeing the Falun Gong booth today, she was very happy and asked for contact information.
“I will join the local group exercise and start practicing again,” said Jenny.
Chinese Tourists Learn the Facts about Falun Gong
Influenced by the hate propaganda against Falun Gong, many tourists from China were initially hostile towards practitioners. Their attitude began to change as they were exposed to more facts about Falun Gong.
Among them were three young men from China. When they passed by the booth, a practitioner went up to greet them. The practitioner walked with them for a while, telling them the facts about the Chinese communist regime and Falun Dafa, hoping that they could learn the truth.
These three people later returned. The practitioner chatted with them further and explained the many bad deeds that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) had committed in the past. They accepted his advice and agreed to quit the Chinese Communist Party. Upon leaving, they took several copies of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, in book and DVD form, and said they would study more later.
Two Chinese tourists from Malaysia and seven Singaporean Chinese who visited the booth said they had not heard the facts about Falun Gong and the persecution in the past. They were shocked by the brutality of the forced organ harvesting from living practitioners. After they accepted pamphlets and other materials, they took photos in front of the booth and said, “Thank you very much for telling us this information. It is very important.”
