Finland: Protest Against the Inhuman Persecution of Falun Gong

On April 22nd, 2006, Finnish Falun Gong practitioners once again, at Helsinki train station, displayed banners reading “Falun Gong is good,” “Stop persecuting Falun Gong,” etc., and photos depicting the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China. They simply wanted to expose the Chinese Communist regime’s seven-year persecution of Falun Gong practitioners, who cultivate themselves according to the principles of “Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance.” In the meantime, they called on the international community to help immediately put an end to the long-existing organised crimes of harvesting and selling living Falun Gong practitioners’ organs as well as the atrocities of cremating their bodies to destroy the evidence. They also called for an extensive investigation into China’s hospitals, forced labour camps and prisons.

Some eye-catching words were shown on display boards, including “SOS, urgently rescue Falun Gong practitioners being persecuted in China,” “Immediately stop harvesting living human organs and genocide” and “Falun Gong practitioners were brutally killed to harvest their organs, and their bodies were cremated to destroy evidence in forced labour camps in China.” Among the Falun Gong practitioners’ photos on display were that of Wang Bin, a practitioner in Heilongjiang province, whose internal organs and brain were removed after he was cruelly tortured in a forced labour camp in 2000 and the photo of Liu Yufeng, a practitioner in Shantong province, whose body was covered with wounds after her internal organs were brutally removed in a forced labour camp in 2000. Many passersby stopped to view the display boards, and were shocked by the atrocities. After hearing about the facts of the persecution, they signed the petition one after another to support Falun Gong practitioners and express their protest against the Chinese Communist regime’s atrocities.

People sign the petition condemning the persecution

After hearing about the facts of Falun Gong and the cruelty of the persecution, two youngsters said that the persecution is even crueler than that perpetrated by the German Nazis in World War II, while a lady suggested to the practitioners that they should have informed Finnish companies doing business with China.

After accepting flyers, some Finns also told the practitioners, “You’ve done the right thing! I support you and wish you success.”

After the Chinese Communist regime’s long-existing organised crimes of harvesting and selling living Falun Gong practitioners’ organs for profit as well as the atrocity of cremating their bodies to destroy evidence was exposed to the outside world, the Chinese regime has stepped up efforts to eliminate witnesses and destroy evidence by May 1st. To put an end to the Chinese Communist regime’s massacre so as to rescue Falun Gong practitioners, Falun Gong practitioners in various countries around the world have launched a series of protests and urgent rescue activities. They called on the international community to conduct an extensive probe into the atrocities of harvesting and selling living Falun Gong practitioners’ organs in China’s forced labour camps, prisons, concentration camps and hospitals, so that the killing and persecution of Falun Gong practitioners can be ended immediately.
