Germany: Hannover Residents Appalled by Forced Organ Harvesting in China

Falun Dafa practitioners in Hannover, Germany set up an information booth on Bahnhof Street across the plaza from the central train station on June 13, 2020. They told passersby what Falun Dafa is and about the ongoing persecution of the meditation practice in China. They asked people to sign a petition demanding the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) stop removing organs from living practitioners incarcerated for their faith.

Ms. Anniya Stein signed the petition to help stop the live organ harvesting atrocities in China. It was the first time she had heard about the persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners.

“The persecution and harvesting of organs from living practitioners for profit are unthinkable and terrible … It’s a violation of human rights,” she said.

“[Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance] is good, and if we all could practice it, the world would be a much better place,” she said.
