According to the Clearwisdom website, the persecution of Falun Gong in Mainland China was recently intensified, so Falun Gong practitioners urged the parliament members gathered in Bern to do all they could to help stop the persecution.

The torture simulations shocked many people. A child pointed at the practitioner playing a Chinese Communist Party policeman and said angrily, "Quickly call the police to take the scoundrel away. How can he torture the woman like that?" People were shocked when they viewed the pictures of the torture and listened to practitioners' statements about the ongoing persecution in China. Some of them shed tears. Many people had already received leaflets and signed their names on the petition.

Signing the petition to support stopping the persecution

The practitioners told people that the signatures are for a petition to rescue a Swiss university student's mother who has been illegally detained for over six months, just for being a good person by following the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. Many people signed their names in the hope that Ms. Qiu would be freed soon, and that the brutal persecution would soon end.
