(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners held a parade in Fukuoka Prefecture’s capital, Fukuoka, on November 4, 2023, to congratulate the 420 million people who have withdrawn from the Chinese Communist organizations. They also called to end the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) 24-year-long persecution of Falun Dafa. Many spectators said the world should cast away the CCP, and they hope the persecution ends soon. 

The two-hour parade started at Sumiyoshi Park, passed by Hakata, Hakata Gekijo, the City Hall, and Tenjin, as well as other landmarks, and returned to Sumiyoshi Park. Crowds of people along the route watched the parade.

People along the route praised the parade, and learned about Falun Dafa and the CCP’s persecution. Some condemned the CCP’s atrocities. Some even joined the parade to show their support for Falun Dafa. Many people told practitioners, “I hope the persecution ends soon!”

When a man wanted to make a donation, a practitioner thanked him but said that all Falun Dafa practitioners are volunteers and don’t accept money. 

Local resident Ms. Dezaki said the persecution must be stopped.

Another local resident, Mr. Ishibashi said, “I hope you spread this information all over the world! It’s the best way to stop the persecution. Keep up with your great job!”

Mr. Justin Breeding, an American tourist, said the CCP’s crime of organ harvesting was appalling. He encouraged practitioners to continue their efforts to raise awareness about the atrocities taking place in China.
