(Minghui.org) Practitioners in Kanto held an event at Kudanshita Station on the first day of the 2025 New Year to tell people about the persecution of Falun Dafa and collect signatures on a petition to end it. Their petition called on people to help end the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution of Falun Dafa. Many people signed the petition and expressed their support and encouragement.

Mr. Tanaka, a member of the Japan Self-Defense Forces, said, “What you are doing is courageous! I support you! The world can’t have peace as long as communism exists.”

Mr. Nakazawa deeply sympathized with Falun Dafa practitioners and said he hopes the Japanese government speaks up for them.

Charles from the U.S. thanked practitioners for exposing the persecution.

Charles communicated with practitioners through a translation app on his phone. He said, “What the Chinese Communist Party has done to peaceful people is terrible! I’m strongly against the Chinese Communist Party’s inhumane crimes! I have some friends who practice Falun Dafa. They have been treated terribly. Most Chinese don’t believe me when I tell them the facts. Falun Dafa practitioners have the right to practice their belief. The communist party is simply evil!”

Charles added, “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance are beautiful universal values. I don’t think there is anything wrong with them.”

Zeeshan from San Francisco said, “I support Falun Dafa. The practitioners I know are noble and modest.”

Mr. Oyama encouraged practitioners, “Never give up! Keep up with your great job! Your activities will spread the news.”

Beiyao from China said, “I’ve been interested in Falun Dafa, and I’m touched by what practitioners have done.”

Mr. Suzuki said, “The organ harvesting crime is terrible! Keep up your great work! I think the Chinese Communist Party is afraid of Falun Dafa.”

Mr. Hagimoto encouraged practitioners to continue their efforts.
