Deutsche Presse-Agentur (DPA) Reports That Falun Gong Practitioners in Indonesia Protest the Persecution of Falun Gong in China

(Clearwisdom.net) DPA reported on May 13 that Indonesian Falun Gong followers gathered outside the Chinese Embassy in Jakarta on Thursday and protested the inhumane persecution of Falun Gong in China. A coordinator of the Falun Gong practitioners in Jakarta said that the reason for the persecution was because of the number of practitioners bigger than the membership of the communist party. The report stated, "About 20 Falun Gong supporters, most of them Sino-Indonesians, had gathered outside the Chinese embassy to demonstrate against Beijing's outlawing and the arrests of Falun Gong followers in China."

The practitioners pointed out that Falun Gong isn't a religion. Falun Gong is a peaceful practice system for both mind and body improvement based on universal principles "Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance". Falun Gong has spread to over 60 countries and over 100 millions people have benefited from the practice. However, in China, the peaceful and beneficial practice is persecuted. The former leader Jiang Zemin and his followers carry out the inhumane persecution, which has resulted in over 960 deaths of documented cases and hundreds of thousands practitioners being imprisoned in jails, labor camps, detention centers and mental hospitals. Jiang and his followers have been sued in many countries for their torture, genocide and crimes against humanity.
