  • Primary School Student in Delaware, USA: "I Will Try My Best to Help"

     "I hope they can be free, I hope they can get help. I will try my best to help," Taylor, a fifth grader at an elementary school in Wilmington, Delaware, seriously and solemnly told a reporter at Rodney Plaza, in Wilmington on April 27, 2006.

    That afternoon, Taylor and her friends and teacher passed by Rodney Plaza, and were attracted by the rally taking place there. The rally protested the atrocities of organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners, is happening right now in China.

    The rally was hosted by Falun Gong practitioners. In the bright sunshine, practitioners held banners and posters reading, "Falun Dafa is Great," "Falun Gong -Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance," and "Calling on the International Community to Act to Stop the Chinese Communist Regime's Brutal Killing of Falun Gong." They also put up many posters on the lawn, and staged a reenactment of organ harvesting from living practitioners.

    Peoples passing by were shocked by the persecution facts. Many signed the petition condemning the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP's) persecution of Falun Gong. After seeing these, one woman said, "This is too horrible, the CCP should disappear from China; May God bless them (the practitioners in China)."

    Medical Doctor Pang Yubin, Chairman of the Human Health Awareness Association, drove all the way up to the rally from Washington, DC. Dr. Pang told the reporter, "As a medical doctor, I am deeply concerned about the urgent situation of Falun Gong practitioners who are being held in the forced labor camps and prisons in China. I have read a report from a Chinese newspaper stating that a heart transplant patient can find a donor and finish the transplantation operation within 24 hours in a hospital. We all know that a match possibility between a non-related donor is only 6%; how huge must the donor group be to allow them find a match in 24 hours? Further, the time for a heart to survive without blood cannot exceed 4-6 hours; that is to say, from the time the donor dies to the time the transplantation is finished cannot be over 6 hours. That means the donor has to still be alive a few hours before the recipient goes to the operation. I deeply felt the need for saving people's lives, so I can completely understand Dr. Wenyi Wang, and her feelings when she shouted out at the White House."

    The News Journal, the largest newspaper in Delaware, WYHH TV network, Delaware Community Newspaper, and WILM and WDEL stations interviewed participants and reported on the rally.


    Queensland, Australia: Practitioners Expose the CCP's Atrocities of Illegal Organ Harvesting

    On April 29, 2006, Falun Gong practitioners in Queensland, Australia gathered in Brisbane's King George Square to hold a rally and parade. They exposed the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP's) criminal acts of harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners, and supported the 10 million courageous people who have quit the CCP. Various banners and display boards exposing the CCP's atrocities were arranged around the square.

    Senator Andrew Bartlett from the Australian Democratic Party made a speech at the rally to support this righteous activity. He said, "A tragedy of harvesting and selling organs from living Falun Gong practitioners is happening in China. Everyone who passes by the rally should ask yourself, 'What can I do to stop it?' We cannot remain silent towards the facts that trample upon human rights because of commercial and economic benefits."

    Professor of politics from Queensland University, Qiu Chuiliang, expressed in his speech that he believed Falun Gong and all Chinese people will ultimately win this righteous battle.

    Exposing the CCP's atrocities of organ thefts

    Falun Gong practitioners reenacted the tragic scene of organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners in forced labor camps, concentration camps and hospitals throughout China. People on the spot were outraged, and many people burst into tears. Leaders of the local Chinese community made speeches to strongly condemn the CCP's atrocities. Practitioners in white held photos of fellow practitioners who have died as a result of persecution, and mourned them, deep in grief, amidst the singing of a song entitled, "Let Me See You Off On One More Journey."

    At noon, the parade procession marched through the city to Chinatown, while many people holding various signs and banners strongly protested the CCP's atrocities.


    Stockholm, Sweden: Supporting the 10 Million Withdrawals from the CCP and Condemning the CCP's Atrocities

    On April 29, 2006, at Mynttorget in downtown Stockholm, the Swedish Service Center for Withdrawing from the CCP, the Human Rights Association, SHRIC (Supporting Human Rights in China), volunteers for The Epoch Times and Falun Gong practitioners held an event to support the ten million people who have withdrawn from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and to protest against the CCP for harvesting Falun Gong practitioners' organs will they were still alive, killing them and cremating their bodies to remove evidence of the crimes.

    During the event, there were Chinese, English, and Swedish display boards with photos and banners reading, "Supporting ten million people withdrawing from the CCP," "Protect Human Rights and Disintegrate the CCP," and "Stop Persecuting Falun Gong." Lots of photos exposing the CCP's crimes were also displayed.

    During the event, practitioners explained the situation through loudspeakers, asked people to sign their names to support the end of the persecution, and distributed fliers exposing the CCP's atrocities and telling about the withdrawals from the CCP.

    Ms. Zhang of the Service Center for Withdrawing from the CCP said, "The Epoch Times' editorial series, the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, triggered the big wave of quitting the CCP. As of now, there have been ten million Chinese people who have withdrawn from the CCP or its affiliated organizations. Many countries have service centers for withdrawals. The recently exposed atrocities of harvesting Falun Gong practitioners' organs for profit and cremating their bodies to remove the evidence of the crimes in the CCP's labor camps, jails and concentration camps, further shows the true nature of the CCP and is speeding up the collapse of the CCP."

    Mia, a member of SHRIC, pointed out, "The Swedish government has an obligation to investigate [these crimes of organ harvesting] along with the international community. They should investigate the hidden inhuman crimes that violate international laws and treaties and the crime of genocide, and should punish those criminals through international laws and treaties in order to stop the crimes. We propose to the Swedish government to take up the case of the killing of Falun Gong practitioners as a human rights case to be discussed in Congress, so as to stop other innocent people from being killed. The Swedish government should take the responsibility agreed to by the international treaties. We cannot just stand by and watch without extending a helping hand."

    A Falun Gong practitioner, Malin, strongly condemned the intolerable crimes committed by the CCP in removing Falun Gong practitioners' organs for profit. He urgently called on the public to sign their names to support and help stop the inhuman atrocities.

    A large group of Falun Gong practitioners demonstrated the exercises to the beautiful exercise music. The kindhearted Swedish people could not understand why the CCP would persecute such a peaceful and graceful practice.

    An elderly Swedish person said, "I knew that the CCP is not good but I just realized that the CCP is so ferocious and evil after reading your material. Chinese people should abandon the Communist Party."

    After hearing about how the Nine Commentaries are making an impact worldwide, several Chinese tourists took some copies and said they would study them.

    Many Swedish people came to ask the Falun Gong practitioners how they could help those innocent practitioners in China. The practitioners responded, "We want to expose to the public worldwide the CCP's evil crimes. Please help us to spread the news to your colleagues, relatives, and friends and encourage them to sign their names on the website (against the persecution)." Once people understood the Communist Party's crimes, they signed their names one after another and said, "We support you!" and, "Good luck!"
