(Minghui.org) July is Ireland’s busiest tourist season and Falun Dafa practitioners hold truth-clarification events in the capital city, Dublin, every Saturday afternoon. They tell people about Dafa and how the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) persecutes the spiritual practice. Many Chinese visit Dublin’s main shopping districts, including local residents and tourists.
After reading the information and talking with practitioners, people signed the petition to condemn the persecution and ask for it to stop.
Falun Dafa practitioners have held events every weekend in July in Dublin’s city center.
People sign the petition to support practitioners’ efforts to end the persecution.
Witness: The Live Organ Harvesting Is Really Happening
Henry Street is the busiest commercial street in Ireland. One afternoon as practitioners were talking to people, a young Chinese walked quickly towards the nearby mall with his head lowered. He accepted the flyer practitioners were handing out. He suddenly stopped and said that he often watches overseas independent media reports so he already knew the truth about the persecution of Falun Dafa.
He told practitioners about his experience in China. He said that he came from a province in southern China. His father needed an immediate organ transplant, so his family took him to the Armed Police Hospital in Beijing. The doctor told them, “All the organs come from living people and they are all Falun Dafa practitioners.”
The young man said that after he left China and saw the reports about the CCP’s large-scale harvesting of Falun Dafa practitioners’ organs while they were still alive, he understood that this is truly happening in China.
“We Chinese are harvesting our own people’s organs, this is really…” The young man shook his head and sighed. He then expressed his support for practitioners’ persistent efforts to end the persecution. “You are doing the right thing,” he said. “There are still many Chinese who equate the CCP with China.” Pointing to the flyer in his hand, he added, “You all believe in Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance but the CCP is most scared of ‘Truthfulness.’”
Chinese People Quit the CCP
Another popular shopping area, Grafton Street, is located in south Dublin about twenty minutes from Henry Street. One Saturday at the end of July, practitioners held an event there and talked to Chinese people who were in Ireland to work, study or just to visit.
Seven well-dressed middle-aged men stopped a few steps away and watched practitioners demonstrate the exercises. As soon as a practitioner noticed them he greeted them and handed them information about Falun Dafa in Chinese. The practitioner said that all the people doing the exercises practice Falun Dafa. He explained that it is practiced in more than a hundred countries and regions and some people in Ireland also practice Falun Dafa.
Some of the men nodded their heads as they walked closer to the display boards to read the information. Some of them took out their mobile phones and photographed the peaceful scene. One man asked several questions about Falun Dafa and the practitioner answered him.
Another man said that he came from a coastal city in the South and was in Ireland on business. He said that living in China now is very stressful. Even though he was sent to Ireland by his company, the CCP is still trying to manipulate them. He said that despite working in Ireland, he still has to work overtime when his Irish colleagues have already left for the day. He cannot claim any overtime pay, either.
He said with emotion, “We are not only being exploited in China, we are still exploited even now when we are overseas.”
He said that he feels helpless and that he’s controlled by the CCP regime. When the practitioner told him about quitting the CCP and its youth organizations, the man immediately agreed to do so. Another man also quit the CCP.
Local Chinese Support Falun Dafa
Among the people who passed by the truth-clarification site on Grafton Street that day, there were a number Chinese who’d immigrated to Ireland, such as Mr. Li.
Mr. Li came from a coastal city in northern China and worked in construction. Six months ago he met and talked with Falun Dafa practitioners in the city center. He told the practitioner that he injured himself at work. Not only did he bleed a lot, his wound was very painful. Practitioners told him to remember and repeat, “Falun Dafa is good, Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” Mr. Li agreed and accepted some information about Falun Dafa.
The following Saturday afternoon, Mr. Li smiled and greeted the practitioner as soon as he saw him. The practitioner asked how he felt and Mr. Li happily said that he recovered from his injury. The wound no longer hurt anymore.
Mr. Li said that because he recovered so quickly, his wife was very supportive of Falun Dafa. He said that he would tell his wife about quitting the CCP and its youth organizations.
