(Minghui.org) “People should open their eyes and learn what is going on. All of us should wake up to the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) crimes against humanity,” François Mekrea said to Falun Dafa practitioners.

Practitioners held an activity in Châtelet, located in central Paris, on Saturday, September 16, 2023, to tell people about the CCP’s persecution. The weather was warm and sunny and the streets were filled with people. Many people stopped to watch the peaceful exercise demonstration and talk with practitioners about Falun Dafa and the persecution.

“Keep Up the Good Work!

François Mekrea works in a freight company. After he heard about the persecution of Falun Dafa he said, “People are not aware of the CCP’s crimes against humanity and organ harvesting from living people. They think that because it happens elsewhere it has nothing to do with them. In fact, it has already reached the West, but people have not really opened their eyes. So you have done a great job exposing the persecution here and people will wake up.”

François Mekrea encouraged practitioners. 

Mekrea said that the persecution of Falun Gong in China has something to do with everyone. It’s important that people know what’s going on. Mekrea said that European people’s continued silence about the CCP’s persecution is a betrayal, “This is a betrayal of morality. How can we live freely, as if nothing has happened? Today, good and evil are reversed. People need to regain a sense of morality and distinguish between good and evil.” He promised to tell others about the persecution in China to help bring it to an end.

Martin is a PhD candidate in finance. He said, “Over the years, the Chinese Communist Party has brought so much pain to Chinese people and also hurt people in other countries. It is very sad. I don’t like the Communist Party. I hope you will continue your efforts. We look forward to the collapse of the Chinese Communist Party.”

Nacer Seddar, a physical education teacher from Algeria, was excited when he saw Falun Dafa practitioners, as though he had come across some long-lost friends. He said he had an affinity for China. China has a great civilization and is the cradle of all qigong practices. He admired the wise men and saints of ancient China. He said that ancient Chinese paintings and portraits of wise men are full of spirituality and wisdom, especially Chinese philosophy, self-control, self-confidence, and belief. 

“It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish,” he quoted this saying when he thanked practitioners for giving him informational materials about Falun Dafa. He said that he would go online and learn more about Falun Dafa.
