(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners in Indonesia held truth-clarification activities at Camp Cibubur on January 23, 2022.
They demonstrated the Falun Dafa exercises, invited people to try them and distributed information about Falun Dafa and how the practice is persecuted in China. They also told people about Dafa’s principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and the health benefits of practicing Falun Dafa. They collected signatures on a petition calling for an end to the persecution.
Many people signed the petition after becoming aware of the persecution. Some learned the exercises and said they felt very good afterwards.

Many people were attracted to the peaceful and serene music as practitioners did the Falun Dafa exercises and some wanted to learn them. One middle-aged man did all five sets of exercises and afterwards said that he felt very peaceful and calm.
He asked practitioners, “What are the benefits of practicing Falun Dafa?” A practitioner replied, “Not only will one become healthier after practicing Falun Dafa, one will also become more patient and tolerant in daily life.”
A middle-aged woman felt that Falun Dafa was very suitable for her and asked how much it cost to learn. When a practitioner told her that it was always free of charge, she was surprised and said that the qigong classes she attended in the past all required tuition. She learned the exercises on the spot.
Practitioners introduce Falun Dafa and tell people about the persecution in China.

Many people said they knew of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) ongoing persecution of Falun Dafa in China. One young man said he hopes that the CCP will never step foot on the soil of Indonesia.
Background: What Is Falun Dafa?
Falun Dafa (also known as Falun Gong) was first introduced to the public by Mr. Li Hongzhi in Changchun, China in 1992. The spiritual discipline is now practiced in over 100 countries and regions worldwide. Millions of people who have embraced the teachings, which are based on the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, and learned the five gentle exercises, have experienced uplifted health and well-being.
Jiang Zemin, former head of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), perceived the spiritual discipline's growing popularity as a threat to the CCP's atheistic ideology and on July 20, 1999, issued an order to ban the practice.
Under Jiang’s personal direction, the CCP established the 610 Office, an extralegal security organization with the power to override the police and judicial systems and whose sole function is to carry out the persecution of Falun Dafa.
Minghui.org has confirmed the deaths of thousands of practitioners as a result of the persecution over the past 22 years, though due to the difficulty in getting information out of China, the actual number is believed to be much higher. Many more have been imprisoned and tortured for their faith.
There is concrete evidence that the CCP sanctions the harvesting of organs from detained practitioners, who are murdered to supply the organ transplant industry.
