Israel: High School Human Rights Day in the City of Ramat Gan

I am 14 years old and am a practitioner of Falun Dafa.

A Human rights week was planned at my school, and I had an idea to tell the students and teachers the truth about the persecution that the Chinese government is conducting against Falun Dafa practitioners and their relatives.

In class I read an article about Falun Dafa and told everyone some details of the persecution. I showed pictures, documents and testimonies from people who underwent torture. All the students signed a petition against the persecution.

After much effort on that day the school management agreed with my request to have practitioners come to the school to talk about the persecution of Falun Gong in China.

On the 10th of December a number of practitioners came, and for a few hours nearly a thousand students, teachers and other staff members learnt about the persecution, were introduced to Falun Gong and saw an exercise demonstration. They also learnt that in over 50 countries tens of millions of people practise Falun Gong and become healthier and happier.

In the end, hundreds of people signed the petition against the persecution and the petition to free Xiong Wei, the sister of an Israeli practitioner who has been detained in China for over a year.

I want to convey my best wishes to all young Dafa practitioners. There should be no worry in telling the truth of the persecution of Falun Dafa. You can also ask other Dafa practitioners to help you.
