  • Germany: Letting Bielefeld Know about the Persecution of Falun Gong

    “Why is he sitting there?” asked a pedestrian. He wanted to know why a young Chinese man sat on a chair in the pedestrian zone. There were crutches right next to his chair and he held up a piece of paper that said, “Ask questions of a labour camp survivor.” Initially, the man could not make sense out of this scene but slowly he opened up and a long conversation ensued.

    “Falun Gong has been acknowledged and accepted in many countries around the world. In France, some organisations have understood Falun Gong, but many people and media have yet to really understand Falun Gong at present.

We are against all the atrocities of persecuting Falun Gong practitioners."
