(Clearwisdom.net) On September 26, 2004, Falun Gong practitioners of Kao Hsiung organized their first "Anti-Torture Exhibit" in the city's Culture Center. The exhibition used practitioner-actors to expose the cruel tortures in the Jiang faction's persecution of Falun Gong and appealed to end the persecution immediately.

It was a Sunday, and a lot of people came to the Culture Center. Many people watched the anti-torture exhibition and were very shocked to see how Chinese Falun Gong practitioners were tortured for their beliefs. Some had heard about Falun Gong but didn't quite understand the facts of the persecution. After the practitioners talked to them, they understood that Jiang launched the persecution of Falun Gong out of his personal jealousy, so they willingly signed their names to support the petition to end the persecution.

Some people couldn't believe that such cruel torture can happen in 21st China, and asked "Is this real?" But the fact is, the Falun Gong practitioners only want to be good persons according to the principles of "Truthfulness Compassion Tolerance" and practice the exercises to improve health but they have suffered over 100 different kinds of torture, and over 1000 practitioners have died from torture. Among those killed, many are women and elderly people. What the practitioners can demonstrate is only a small portion of the various tortures Chinese police are using. A young lady cried at seeing the scenes; more people were angry and condemned Jiang's atrocities.

There were exercise demonstrations at the Anti-Torture exhibition, and many people asked for information and wanted to learn the exercises. Drivers passing by were also curious and stopped to ask for CDs. The practitioners didn't miss any opportunity and distributed the flyers to passing cars.
The practitioners participating in the Anti-Torture exhibition felt this was a sacred matter to let more people understand the tortures Chinese Falun Dafa practitioners have experienced.
Before the event ended at 5 pm, the crowd passing by the exhibit never stopped. Some people asked for more flyers for their relatives and friends. Some said to practitioners that the exhibition was great.
