(Clearwisdom.net) The Annual German International Human Rights Conference was held in the "human rights capital of Germany" -- Nuremberg. Falun Dafa practitioners were divided into two groups to clarify the truth inside and outside the meeting room. Those who clarified the truth outside were practitioners from various cities in Germany. The exercise demonstration by the practitioners outside the meeting hall caught the attention of the delegates attending the conference, and some of them stayed and watched for a long time. When asked for their signatures on a petition in support, many of them agreed without hesitation. When they were asked to write letters to the German Chancellor and President to urge the Chinese dictator Jiang to immediately stop his brutal persecution, they agreed to consider it. They told practitioners that when confronting economic issues conflicting with moral issues, rulers might often side with the economy. That's why the dictator can be so vicious.

Several practitioners arrived at the venue four hours before the conference started to collect signatures and clarify the truth. They talked to almost every attendee face to face. Many attendees from English-speaking countries directly went to the Conference Hall from the airport with their luggage. Western practitioners took advantage of this precious opportunity to clarify the truth while other practitioners collected signatures or handed out Dafa materials. Almost every attendee entered the Conference Hall with a newspaper in hand that exposed the evil persecution and called for an end to the brutal killings in China.

Falun Gong was not on the agenda, but the attendees were able to pass a motion. All the practitioners attending the Conference raised their hands. A practitioner who obtained permission to pass a motion said that he would like to pass the motion to Zhao Ming. As a result, Zhao Ming got the chance to elaborate on the details of how his freedom of belief was cruelly deprived and how he was mentally and physically tortured during his two years in prison. After the conference was adjourned, an elderly man said: "That Chinese man was imprisoned for two years. That's terrible. I've never heard of this kind of persecution."

Opposite to the Conference Hall was a walkway, where many Chinese people were passing by. Their reactions varied when they saw the Dafa banners. Some came forward to ask for truth-clarification materials. Others said they have read the information elsewhere. Still many of them accepted the materials without saying a word, though they already knew that the material contained a truth-clarification booklet and CD. One father and his son took the truth-clarification materials and left. A couple of hours later, they came back and asked practitioners to teach his ten-year-old-son what Falun Gong is and the meaning of "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance" in German. They left happily in the end. Upon seeing the banner reading "Falun Gong is Good", a lady who was driving by stopped to take Chinese language materials and CDs.

Reporters from Allgemeiine Deutsche Rundfunkanstalten and RTL videotaped practitioners practicing the exercises and the banners and exhibition boards reading, "Urgent Call for Media and Governments Worldwide to Stop China's State Terrorism against Falun Gong Practitioners," and "The World needs Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance." A local TV station in Nuremberg interviewed practitioners who were collecting signatures and got detailed information about the facts of the evil persecution. Attracted by the beautiful music and the harmonious movements of the Falun Gong exercises, passers-by stopped to watch for a long time. After watching the exhibition, some people volunteered to sign their names. Some others asked deeper questions about Falun Gong. Even some of the conference attendees who didn't sign their names the day before wanted to sign after watching the exercise demonstration.

Generally speaking, after understanding the truth, most people expressed that the situation in China was very serious and that the persecution against practitioners who believe in Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance was equivalent to the persecution of humanity's basic morals, and it is against humankind itself.

Several media outlets both inside and outside the Conference Hall interviewed Zhao Ming. Nuremberg Daily News, one of the sponsors of the International Human Rights Annual Conference, also interviewed some practitioners.
