England: University Students Shocked After Watching State Organs

Dec. 9, 2025 |   By a Falun Dafa practitioner in the U.K.

(Minghui.org) The documentary State Organs, which exposes the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) atrocity of harvesting organs from living Falun Dafa practitioners, was screened at Queen Mary University in London, UK on December 4, 2025. Several university students said they were shocked and saddened to learn of these egregious human rights violations. Some were interested in learning more about Falun Dafa (Falun Gong) and asked where the local practice sites were.

A few university students lingered after the screening, and discussed the human rights issues presented in the film. They said it was the first time they directly encountered the persecution of human rights in China, and come to know practitioners’ kindness and steadfastness.

State Organs was screened at Queen Mary University in London on December 4, 2025.

“Absolutely Unacceptable”

Anushka, a law student, previously read about the CCP’s human rights abuses, but didn’t realize the situation was still so bad. This was the first time she saw footage of people being suppressed and killed for their organs because of their faith, and she was deeply alarmed. She felt it was appalling that practitioners, who merely meditate, exercise and want to become better people, are tortured and killed.

“The whole world should know about this, instead of letting it continue,” she said. “This is absolutely unacceptable and appalling!” She said she would recommend the film to her friends and let more people know about it.

A Human Rights Disaster

Iman majors in human rights law and spoke of the scene in the film when practitioners were taken away. She said, “If one day Britain suddenly bans me from practicing yoga, takes me away and forces me to sign to a statement to renounce yoga, that’s the future I fear most, but it’s happening in China right now.

“It is terrifying that people can simply disappear into thin air without the protection of the judicial process.” She said, “That health minister just smiled when he was questioned on camera, showing no remorse, and was not held accountable either. When the law fails, it is a human rights disaster.”

Another law student, Leanne, said, “We study human rights law to prevent such things from happening. The Chinese government can label people at will, and no mater how kind or highly educated a person is, he can be persecuted. This shocks and upsets me.”

She emphasized that more students should see this documentary.

“Kindness and Faith Prevented Them from Being Defeated”

University student Jen said that what moved her most was the ending of the film. “What touched me the most was that they remain united and brave,” she said. “Even in the face of persecution, they were not defeated by fear. They adhered to the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and encouraged each other. This strength is admirable.”

One of her classmates added, “They were just doing positive and peaceful things, yet they suffered such a terrible cost. Faith should be respected rather than punished.” The students were silent for a moment and then asked, “What we can do?”

Attendees Are Interested in Falun Gong

Noor, a member of Human Rights Society, said, “Falun Gong looks very peaceful. Where can we learn it? I would like to do the exercises and meditate.”

When she learned that classes were held in the Queen Mary University gym every Tuesday and that there’s a group practice site at a local park every Sunday morning, Noor immediately said, “Please send us the information, and we will participate. I also would like to share this information with my friends.”

Other students chimed in, “We want to go too, and experience the peace and strength we saw in the film.” They exchanged contact information.

“We Can No Longer Remain Silent”

Many students said they would recommend the documentary. One said, “This film should be on Netflix and streamed on mainstream media. I will share it with my friends so they can watch it too.”

Another said, “We’d like to hold similar events again to promote these real human rights issues.”

The head of the Human Rights Society said, “We are willing to continue organizing these documentary screenings. If there are any more, please contact us again.”

The attendees continued discussing the film and talked about the human rights situation in China, and how to let more people know the facts. Many students said, “Now that we know, we can no longer remain silent.” The conscience of the young people shone brightly at London’s night.
