Spain: Remembering the April 25 Appeal

On the morning of April 25 2009, Dafa practitioners demonstrated in front of the Chinese Embassy in Madrid, Spain to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the April 25 Appeal and to protest the brutal persecution of Falun Gong by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

Practitioners demonstrate in front of the Chinese Embassy in Madrid to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the April 25 Appeal and to call for an end to the CCP's persecutionAmong the attending Falun Gong practitioners, some demonstrated the five sets of exercises, while others distributed truth-clarification flyers to the passersby. They also mourned the thousands of Falun Gong practitioners who have lost their lives in the brutal persecution by the CCP.

Passersby approached to ask for flyers, and many of them expressed that they knew about the brutal persecution of Falun Gong practitioners by the CCP regime. Many drivers passing by honked their horns to express their support.

A gentleman who lived nearby said that he had received flyers before, and he deeply admired the Falun Gong practitioners for their unremitting, peaceful protest.

Another passerby greeted the practitioners with a smile and said, "All righteous people will support you; do keep on." A senior citizen told a practitioner, "The CCP is just like the Nazis. Let's hope it will disappear from the earth soon."

During the peaceful protest by the Falun Gong practitioners, a few officials of the Chinese Embassy appeared to be watching from the roof. The practitioners told them the facts with a loudspeaker and sincerely hoped that these officials would awaken soon and quit the CCP, so as to choose a good future for themselves and their families.
