(Clearwisdom.net) Over the Chinese New Year, Falun Gong practitioners in Spain held a rally at Plaza Mayor in Madrid, calling for an end to the persecution of Falun Gong in China, and supporting the tens of millions of Chinese people who have quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations.
Throughout the rally, many people signed the petition calling for an end to the persecution
The practitioners' banners attracted large crowds of people who stopped and inquired about what was going on. Once they learned about Falun Gong and the persecution in China, they signed the petition to express their support.
Since it was close to the Chinese New Year, there were many Chinese tourists. Many of them were interested in the rally. The practitioners talked to them and told them why they need to quit the party and its affiliated organizations.
A young couple was shocked by the brutality of the persecution. After the practitioners told them about the CCP's crimes, they quit the party right away.
A young Chinese man, who works at a Chinese restaurant, passes by the plaza every day. He often sees the practitioners' activities, but he appeared frightened and would never accept the truth-clarification materials. This time, when a practitioner tried to reach out to him and give him a truth-clarifying DVD, he tried to run away. The practitioner said to him, “Knowing the truth will keep you safe. You don't want to reject safety, do you?” This time, the young man stopped and talked to the practitioners. They were surprised to learn that he knew a great deal about the brutal history of the CCP. Finally, he was very happy to quit the party. In contrast to his frightened face and nervous attitude before, the young man now smiled openly and thanked the practitioners for their help.
People sign the petition to show their support for Falun Gong
The practitioners gave truth-clarifying materials to a group of Chinese students, and told them about the persecution. They listened carefully. While some of them had grown up in Europe and never joined any communist organization, five of the group quit the Communist Youth League. They all signed the petition against the persecution. They also said that they would bring the truth-clarification materials home to their parents.
During the three-hour activity, more than 50 Chinese people quit the CCP and its affiliated organizations.
