(Clearwisdom.net) On May 6th, 2006, Swiss Falun Gong practitioners once again held an anti-torture exhibition at the famous tourist spot, Schwanenplatz, in the city of Lucerne, Switzerland. There were also display boards and petitions to be signed to call for an end to the persecution.

Many people were shocked to see the live reenactment in which "doctors" and "nurses" harvested organs from "patients." The actors were Falun Gong practitioners, reenacting the crimes taking place in China. When people realized that the scene in front of them really took place in China, where organs were harvested from living Falun Gong practitioners for profit, they signed the petition one by one. Many said to the practitioners, "Thank you for telling us about this. Well done!"
The photo of Ms Gao Rongrong's disfigured face riveted the attention of a woman in her fifties. A practitioner told her, "Ms Gao was a Falun Gong practitioner. She was illegally detained by the Chinese regime and she was shocked with electric batons for seven hours non-stop to disfigure her face. After this photo was made public to the international community, Ms Gao was kidnapped again by the authorities and was tortured to death in less than three months."
The woman's face got more concerned as she listened. She sighed and asked, "Is there anything I can do to help?" The practitioner told her about the various petitions on the table which she could sign. One was about calling for a stop to the persecution and another about rescuing the Chinese Falun Gong practitioners and their children. This woman was also informed about the organ harvesting in China. She signed all the petitions on the table and bought a Falun Gong book, expressing her interest in learning the practice.
Some passing students initially didn't want to take any fliers. However, upon seeing the organ harvesting reenactment, they all stopped. After practitioners told them about the persecution of Falun Gong in China, they took the fliers and lined up to sign the petition.
A group of tourist gladly accepted the fliers and the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party. They asked, "There are many people practicing Falun Gong in Taiwan. Why is it persecuted in China?" Practitioners told them that Falun Gong teaches the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance, which could not be tolerated by the Chinese Communist regime which embraces lies and violence.
A practitioner also shared with them that after reading the Nine Commentaries, an editorial published by the Epoch Times newspaper, people started to realize the evil nature of the Communist Party and understand why Falun Gong is being persecuted. The organ harvesting activity was mentioned to the Taiwanese tourists. One woman said that she had already learned about it from an e-mail sent to her. They all signed the petitions.
"Look! What's that...? " Some Chinese tourists exclaimed after seeing the reenactment of organ harvesting and the displays. Practitioners offered them some information about the persecution. Some accepted the materials readily, some told the practitioners that they had already read the materials in the hotel, and some looked at the Nine Commentaries but were too scared to take them. Practitioners informed them of the organ harvesting in China and the fact that more than ten million Chinese people had publicly quit the Chinese Communist Party and its affiliated organizations.
