Finland: Falun Dafa Practitioners Peacefully Commemorate the April 25 Appeal in Front of Chinese Embassy

(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners in Finland held a peaceful demonstration in front of the Chinese Embassy on April 25, 2020, to solemnly commemorate the April 25 Appeal by practitioners in China 21 years ago, and raise awareness of the ongoing persecution. 

Practitioners in Finland hold a peaceful demonstration in front of the Chinese Embassy on April 25, 2020.

Practitioners do the Falun Dafa exercises as part of the day's events. 

Practitioner Ms. Dong said, “Ten thousand Falun Dafa practitioners in China held a peaceful appeal on this date 21 years ago to safeguard their rights to cultivate themselves. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) used it as a pretext to launch a brutal persecution. I’m here today to call for an end to the persecution and demand that freedom of belief be returned to the Chinese people.”

Naza, a Falun Dafa practitioner from Italy said, “I stand together with Falun Dafa practitioners around the world. Our demonstration calls for an end to the persecution, and urges the whole world to condemn the CCP’s atrocities.”

Mrs. Zhu Luoxin, originally from Guangdong Province of China, was imprisoned by the CCP for ten years, and subjected to torture, solitary confinement, and forced slave labor. She condemned the CCP for covering up the coronavirus (now often referred to as the CCP virus, after the Chinese Communist Party). She called for all people to clearly see the CCP’s nature. 

A local resident said that she knew about the CCP’s atrocity of harvesting organs from living Falun Dafa practitioners. She pointed out that the CCP is harming the entire world, “People around the globe will get together to sue the Chinese Communist Party. I have no doubt about it. No one will let it go easily.”

One man said he supported any effort against totalitarianism. “I’ll always stand on your side,” he said.

A young mother said she had lost her job due to the coronavirus. She and her family did not believe the CCP’s statistics regarding the outbreak in China.

A senior couple also said they didn’t believe the CCP's official numbers and felt the pandemic was caused by the CCP, “It’s indeed the CCP virus!”
