(Minghui.org) Falun Gong practitioners gathered in Titisee, a tourist destination in southwestern Germany, on August 13 to tell people about the ongoing suppression of Falun Gong in China. Passersby were stunned to learn about forced organ harvesting and signed petitions to condemn it.
“It is hard to imagine such a horrible thing could happen in this world today,” said Sideris from Belgium. “It is a disgrace to mankind.”

Everyone Needs to Know the Truth
Sideris heard about Falun Gong from the news on television, and she said the persecution in China really surprised her. She and her friends all signed petitions calling for an end to the forced organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners in China.
A German man said he had gotten a liver transplant, but the wait time was far longer than the “few weeks” possible in China. After first learning of the atrocity at an event in Heidelberg that opposed forced organ harvesting and now hearing more details, he said this brutality should have been ended a long time ago.
“I am with you and I know you will succeed,” he said to one practitioner with two thumbs up.
Three students from Vietnam said they knew the communist party often mistreats people with violence and lies. “The Party harms people and then tries to hide its bad deeds to prevent anyone from finding out about them,” said one student as she signed a petition.

One tourist was sad to see some of the Chinese tourists refuse to take the practitioners’ pamphlets. After talking with practitioners, he understood how the Party’s defamatory propaganda had made them unwilling to find out what Falun Gong really is.
“I hope they can calm down and think about it, because everyone needs to know the truth,” he said.
What’s Right and What’s Wrong
Mr. Hoffmann came by the booth with his son and daughter. After signing a petition to support practitioners, he asked his daughter, “Is it right for one person to kill another for a liver or lung for transplant?” “No, I don't think so,” the girl replied. Both of his children signed the petitions, too.

Born in Poland and raised in Germany, Mr. Hoffmann now lives in Switzerland. He has encountered many different cultures over the years, but the practice of Falun Gong really caught his interest. He asked many questions on how it improves health and mind nature. As he left, he took information and said he would check it out online.
Feedback from Chinese Tourists
Over 100 Chinese tourists came to the site that day, and many of them were curious to see practitioners. Some took pictures and some decided to quit the communist party organizations after hearing about the bad deeds the regime is responsible for.

An older man from Shanghai said he knew Falun Gong was unfairly wronged, and he was glad to see practitioners at so many tourist sites during his trip.
Several government officers from China said Jiang was the source of China’s many troubles. “If Jiang is arrested, his policies and influence will come to an end, and China will be much better,” one of them said.
A tourist in his 70s had already read the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party. He said the Party and Jiang are the reason for all the corruption and moral degeneration in China today.
