(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners in Paris held a rally in front of the Chinese Embassy on April 23, 2021, to commemorate the April 25 Appeal in Beijing 22 years ago. Practitioners’ rational and peaceful appeal for their lawful right to practice their belief was remarkable in Chinese history. Practitioners in Paris exposed the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution of Falun Dafa over the past 22 years, and collected signatures on a petition calling for an end to the persecution.

Mr. Pascal Cossé, an attorney, signed the petition, and said, “The information we learned shows that the Chinese Communist Party is a modern dictatorship. This persecution is appalling. The Communist Party covers up facts and controls everything. It’s like a demon.”

Jennifer, an agricultural technologist, said that the CCP continually brings disasters to the Chinese people. Upon hearing that the CCP had used tortures to force Falun Dafa practitioners to give up their belief, Jennifer said, “This is an inhuman crime!”
