(Minghui.org) Falun Gong practitioners from France, Germany, and Switzerland held activities near the Strasbourg Train Station on December 4, 2025. They held their event during the Council of Europe meetings on human rights issues. They distributed flyers that exposed the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution of Falun Gong and collected signatures calling for an end to the communist regime’s crime of harvesting organs from Falun Gong practitioners imprisoned for their faith.

Many people signed the petition, expressed their support and encouraged practitioners. Some said: “Everyone should have freedom of belief.” “The Chinese Communist Party is wicked.” “The whole world supports you!”

Practitioners call to stop the CCP’s persecution.

Maurice, an employee of SNCF Group, signed the petition and said, “We should safeguard humanity and support each other instead of killing each other. This persecution shouldn’t have happened. There should be no discrimination or bigotry! The whole world supports you!”

Mireille and her family from Luxembourg said this was the first time they heard about Falun Gong and the persecution. Mireille said, “The dictatorship in China is getting more and more autocratic! People can’t voice their opinion. Even lawyers have been thrown into prison, which shows how hard it is to survive in China. I won’t travel to China until the Chinese people regain their freedom.”

Practitioners collect signatures during their event at the Strasbourg Train Station.

Jean-Luc Stumph signed the petition and said, “It’s appalling how the Chinese Communist regime persecutes innocent people! Everyone has the right to follow their beliefs. What’s happening in China is completely unacceptable! We must express our support for practitioners.”

Avetis, a student from Armenia, said he was shocked by the persecution. “The persecution is a nightmare! It’s so wrong,” he said.

A local resident named Jean-François Koulmann echoed him and said, “The persecution is inhuman! People are equal regardless.”
