On April 6, 2007, the second day of the Chinese Qinming Festival, many groups and organizations, such as the UK Falun Dafa Association, the UK Great Alliance of Breaking Away from the CCP, the UK Branch of the Global Service Centre for Quitting the CCP, the European Branch of the International Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong, and the UK Epoch Times, held a grand rally and a parade in London to support the 20 million brave Chinese people that have quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations and to recognize the Falun Gong practitioners in China who have been persecuted to death by the CCP as well as the 80 million Chinese who have been killed since the CCP gained power.

The rally started at 1:00 p.m. in front the Chinese Embassy in London. Banners, scrolls, and exhibition boards, big and small, were displayed, forming a unique, picturesque scene opposite the Chinese Embassy. They passed along very clear messages: "Express strong support for the 20 million people that have quit the CCP." "Redress the injustice of the deaths of 80 million people who have been killed by CCP tyranny," "New China will be born when the CCP collapses," "Gods will destroy the CCP, you can keep your life safe when you quit the CCP," "The evil CCP has been uprooted, please quit it quickly!" and "Ushering in a new China without the CCP." Passers-by all stopped and looked. Vehicles coming and going supported them by honking their horns. A guide on a tour bus even accepted a leaflet and read it through the microphone to all the tourists on the bus.

Lord Francis Thurlow, a former UK diplomat who has a long record of diplomatic service, made a speech at the rally condemning the CCP tyranny. "The CCP has caused the deaths of over 80 million Chinese people, and the documented deaths of more than 3000 Falun Gong practitioners. The CCP's atrocity of organs harvesting from live Falun Gong practitioners has made everyone indignant."

John Dee, Vice Chairman of the European Branch of the International Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong, mentioned in his speech, "Today, we are here to support 20 million Chinese people quitting the CCP. They are the awakened Chinese people, the brave ones. From the day the CCP was founded to now, history has clearly exposed to the world's people its evil and cruel nature. The CCP is doomed to be ruined." Mr. Dee also called on Chinese people to offer evidence of Falun Gong practitioners in China being persecuted to the Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (CIPFG). The CIPFG has already received first-hand data of many cases of the persecution. We must try to make the CCP stop the persecution and allow Falun Gong practitioners and all Chinese people be free.

Dr. Liu Wei, editor-in-chief of the UK Epoch Times, pointed out at the rally, "Over 20 million Chinese people have already quit the CCP. The number "20 million" is perhaps not the most important. Most important is that the CCP has completely lost its morale, which is what the CCP fears most."

Ms. Annie Yang, using her personal experience of being persecuted in Mainland China, condemned the CCP's long period of persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. Because of practicing Falun Gong, Ms. Yang was illegally arrested in Beijing on March 1, 2005. She was sentenced to two years in a forced labor camp without going through any legal formalities.

After the rally, the parade started from the Chinese Embassy and went along Regents Street, the busiest one in London's city center, crossing London's famous Chinatown three times. The parade lasted three and a half hours. On this day in London, the sun was shining. The city center was full of tourists and traffic was heavy. Wherever the parade went, people all stopped and looked. Several thousands pieces of literature, both in Chinese and English, were distributed very quickly. At the parade's final destination, several Chinese tourists took group photos before the scroll proclaiming, "Gods will destroy the CCP. You can keep your life safe when you quit it."

 To support 20 million brave Chinese people having withdrawn from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), the Yilan Branch of the Global Alliance for Breaking Away from the CCP organized a car parade on April 6, 2007, calling for people to be aware of the trend to quit to the CCP in Mainland China and realize that the Party is collapsing. At the plaza in front of the Cultural Center, a few dozen pictures were on display to expose the CCP's crime of harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners and the brutal persecution of Falun Gong in China. Many people looked at the display.

Rally in front of the Cultural Center of Yilan County supports 20 million Chinese quitting the CCP

At nine o'clock, the Yilan Branch of the Global Alliance for Breaking Away from the CCP hosted a press conference inside the Yilan City Cultural Center. Director of the branch Mr. Lin Chongqi said that the book "Nine Commentaries on Communist Party" published by The Epoch Times in November 2004 exposed the CCP's lies and evil nature. More and more people have recognized the CCP for what it is and have decided to withdraw from it. The trend to quit is spreading in Mainland China quickly. Now more than 30,000 are resigning from the CCP and all its affiliated organizations every day. He said that, with more than 20 million people having chosen to quit the CCP, the evil spirit has been pulled out by its roots. Lin said, "The purpose of this activity is to remind people that all brutal tyrannies in the history of the world were eventually destroyed. Heaven wants to destroy the Chinese Communist Party. Breaking away from the CCP can keep you safe."

Mr. Zeng Wenzhong, a teacher from Luodong Industrial High School, was dressed like a heavenly warrior with a Nine Commentaries sword in his hand. He said, "Because of the widespread dissemination of the book, both the human world and the heavens have been shaken by its power. With help from righteous gods, the Communist evil spirit will be defeated by heavenly warriors. "Over 20 million people having withdrawn from the CCP makes this a memorable day in history. I feel honored to participate in this activity to tell people that the CCP is collapsing. Please make a right choice between good and evil."

A truth-clarification picture display in front of the Cultural Center attracted many passersby. A retired teacher from Yilan University, Mr. Su, looked at the pictures and said that the Communist Party doesn't respect anyone's human rights and wished it to be eliminated soon so that the Chinese people could regain their freedom.
