(Clearwisdom.net) "Is this real?" a German lady said to herself with a leaflet in her hand. The leaflet detailed the crimes committed by the CCP of harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners. A practitioner answered her, "This is indeed happening in China right now. Actually, the facts are even worse but they cannot be confirmed because of the CCP's information blockade. For example, when the removal of organs from living people was exposed, many people, including Belgian MPs, phoned hospitals in China, in the name of their relatives wanting to have organ transplants asking if it was possible. They got this answer: 'There is no problem. Come in two weeks, we can find a suitable donor.' Someone questioned closely, 'We were told that we can get organs from Falun Gong practitioners. I am wondering if you have them.' The reply was. 'That is the type we have here.'"
Another Falun Gong practitioner nearby said, "Two Canadian researchers have done investigations about this independently and they concluded that the CCP has indeed removed organs from living Falun Gong practitioners. We are here collecting signatures calling for an end to the atrocity of removing organs from living victims and an end to the persecution of Falun Gong by the CCP."
The lady signed the petition and asked for more information about this matter.
People stop and read exhibition boards
Signing the petition calling for an end to the persecution of Falun Gong
On August 23rd, there was an exhibition in Freiburg showing how Falun Gong practitioners are being persecuted by the CCP. Falun Gong practitioners were distributing leaflets and collecting signatures.
Ms. Voegle signed all the petitions. She had already learned about the persecution of Falun Gong. "As I have heard about everything that has happened, I, of course, support those whose human rights have been infringed on, such as Tibetans and Falun Gong practitioners. I show my support by signing petitions."
She had already heard about the issue of organs being harvested from living people. "I believe this. I have told one of my friends; it is so horrifying to me that it makes my eyes brim with tears. It is so horrifying." Ms. Voegle was so sad that she could not continue speaking. After calming down, she went on to say, "I can't understand, I really can't understand why such a thing is happening."
She continued, "Inexplicably, the international community has shut their eyes to this. Nothing has been done and no countries have mentioned it. I think this kind of incompetency is the worst. So I think that I should do something about it. Even if we have ten, a hundred or a thousand people, we should try our best to help people start to pay attention to this matter."
Moreover, she said that those who the CCP persecutes are not merely Falun Gong practitioners but all Chinese people. "We cannot accuse Chinese people because they cannot obtain sufficient information. But the Chinese Communist Party, what should I say--they are disgusting. They not only persecute Tibetans, Falun Gong practitioners, but also Chinese--their own Chinese people. I hope that the Chinese people can lead peaceful lives with each other and get more information."
Mrs. Schmid said, "I think it is very important to do what we can do for human rights. We can do this in a free country and we should value something good."
A man named Mike thought, "It is very good to do this to stop the persecution. As still more people don't know about this, an information booth here lets more people know so as to stop this persecution. This is very good."
After signing the petition, Marian invited her friends to do the same. She said, "I was shocked when reading the material. I think this is all I can do at the moment, so I have signed the petition. I can't imagine that such a thing is happening today."
After hearing the introduction about what Falun Gong is and why the CCP persecutes Falun Gong practitioners, another German lady asked for a flyer. She said, "I know well how the CCP controls Chinese people and their thoughts because I was born in the year the Berlin wall was built. East Berliners who were born the same year as me were totally different from me when they were thinking and dealing with something, because the thoughts of people under the control of Communist societies are not the same as the thoughts of people living in normal societies." She added, "I feel ashamed about Hitler's concentration camps in World War II because such a cruel thing happened in my own country. So I hope that the Chinese people can recognize what the CCP has been doing."
When watching the demonstration of the exercises by Falun Gong practitioners, she felt delighted: "I can feel them sending forth energy."
"Aren't you afraid of secret agents?"
When taking some materials, a German teacher asked a practitioner about the evidence of organ removal. He knew that Falun Gong had been very popular before Jiang Zemin started the persecution in 1999. The teacher asked, "I know that some Chinese students are actually CCP secret agents. Some are among the Chinese students I teach. You are here holding activities and can be seen by many Chinese students, aren't you afraid of them?"
The practitioner told him, "First, we don't need to be afraid of them because we are here telling the truth. The materials we have distributed all tell the truth as well. We are not deceiving people. It is the CCP who is afraid because of its lies and atrocities. Secondly, if something does happen to us, we can ask the police for help. But in China, if one speaks a word of the truth: 'Falun Gong is good,' one's life will be in danger. Can we keep silent in a free country and shut our ears to it?" After hearing this, the teacher also nodded, agreeing that people couldn't ignore what is happening in China.
Before leaving, he took with him some newspapers about Falun Gong, as well as the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party in Chinese and some other material for his Chinese friends. He once again told the practitioner to be careful with his safety.
Worldwide support
That day, there were many tourists from Germany and all over the world in Freiburg. On seeing the words Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance on the clothing worn by Falun Gong practitioners, an elderly Japanese lady, pointing at these words, happily talked to a practitioner in Japanese. Realizing that the practitioner did not understand what she told him, she said good-bye to him by shaking hands with him. Later on, she told a Falun Gong practitioner who understands Japanese that she knew about Falun Gong and asked this practitioner to give her regards to all Falun Gong practitioners.
When taking shelter from the rain, another Chinese lady who could speak English got a leaflet from a Falun Gong practitioner. Later she told the practitioner that she is American and asked if she could sign the petition supporting Falun Gong.
