Falun Dafa Welcomed by Fiji Residents

(Minghui.org) Practitioners from New Zealand arrived at the beautiful island of Fiji on March 23, 2024, with their objective being to bring Falun Dafa, an ancient cultivation practice, to the island. Teachers and students in many schools learned the exercises, and the practitioners were welcomed by residents everywhere they went.

Twenty practitioners came to Fiji. Among them was an IT project manager, a teacher, a doctor, a media expert, a business owner, and some retirees. For eight days, they visited cities including Nadi, Lautoka, and Suva. They went to 20 schools, 24 churches, and several government organizations, businesses, and medical institutions. Along the way, thousands of residents received materials handed out by the practitioners at long distance rest stops, shopping centers, and markets. Some people approached practitioners to find out more about Falun Dafa.

Forced Organ Harvesting is Shocking

During the eight-day trip, practitioners visited several medical institutions in Suva and Nadi, and met with senior officials. They introduced Falun Dafa and told them how the Chinese communist regime harvests organs from practitioners.

The officials thanked the practitioners for bringing them such important information. They realized it was possible that Western medical institutions had unknowingly assisted the CCP in its crimes against humanity, such as pharmaceutical companies, doctors who referred patients, Western companies who supplied medical expertise, insurance companies that offered insurance for medical tours, Western universities that train medical students from China, and so on.

Lecturers in medical universities said that in the future they will encourage their students to not go to China for further studies, in order to avoid participating in the crimes of forced organ harvesting.

Several senior hospital officials said they were shocked by the practice of forced organ harvesting in China. They said they would send patients who needed organ transplants to Australia or New Zealand in the future instead of to China, to avoid becoming accomplices.

They were moved by practitioners’ efforts to raise awareness of the CCP’s forced organ harvesting crime, and said they would take action to help end it.

An employee in a government organization said after receiving information on forced organ harvesting, “You are doing a great job. Many people didn’t know about this.”

He also said, “My relative went to Beijing and worked there for several months on a joint project. He said it was terrifying, they were indeed taking organs from living people. Many people who know the truth are scared to talk about it!”

Police Express Support

Police officers in Fiji expressed their support for Falun Dafa after learning about the persecution.

Practitioners also introduced the practice and the CCP’s forced organ harvesting to local police officers during their trip to Fiji. At a commercial center in Suva, practitioners encountered around 200 police officers by chance. Nearly every one took information. Some also asked for other materials. They were shocked to hear of the CCP’s forced organ harvesting, and said they would learn more about it. Some wanted to learn how to practice Falun Dafa.
