(Minghui.org) Falun Gong practitioners in Sydney gathered on the main street in downtown Hurstville on June 29, 2014. Standing side by side with banners and posters, they formed a “Great Wall of Truth” to raise awareness about the persecution in China.

They informed passersby about the Chinese authorities' brutal crime of harvesting organs from living practitioners who had been imprisoned for their faith. Many signed the petition asking for an immediate end to the forced organ harvesting atrocities.

People learn more about the persecution of Falun Gong from the banners.

Passerby: “I Want to Learn Falun Gong”

A young Australian couple stood in front of the practitioners’ banners for a long time. The wife, Ms. Viki Tori, pointed at the photos and asked a lot of questions.

She pointed at a photo of a female practitioner before and after being brutally tortured and sighed, “This is unusually cruel! Unthinkable.” After a practitioner told her the story behind the photo, she signed the petition.

As Viki learned more about the physical and mental health benefits of the meditation practice, she said, “I'd like to learn Falun Gong.” She took a lot of informational materials with her.

“Battle between Goodness and Evil”

A man from Hungary stopped to talk to the practitioners. He said he did business in China. He told a practitioner that he knew about the ongoing persecution of Falun Gong in China. He signed the petition protesting forced organ harvesting and said, “I couldn’t agree more with what you are doing now. It’s a huge and difficult battle between goodness and evil.”

“The CCP Will Be Punished”

Two Chinese people from Shanghai talked to a practitioner. They believed that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has become so corrupted and China was so chaotic because “it’s an atheist society. A society with righteous belief would not become so deteriorated. The CCP has killed so many people and it will definitely be punished.”
