Germany: Chinese Students Quit Communist Organizations During Events Held in Heidelberg on Human Rights Day

Falun Dafa practitioners in Germany held activities on Bunsenplatz in Heidelberg, Germany on December 11, 2021, to commemorate Human Rights Day. They told people about the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) crime of harvesting organs from practitioners while they are still alive, and collected signatures on a petition calling for an end to the CCP’s atrocities. Many people wished practitioners success and wanted to show their support by signing the petition. Some Chinese students took this opportunity to quit the communist organizations they joined in China.

Practitioners expose the CCP’s persecution during activities on Bunsenplatz in Heidelberg on December 11, 2021.

Eva, a student from China, praised practitioners and said, “What you are doing is great! I hope to see more of your activities. You remind people about the evil nature of the Chinese Communist Party. Many have forgotten it.”

A practitioner asked Eva if she had heard about quitting the communist organizations. She said that she hadn’t joined the Communist Party, but joined the Young Pioneers and the Youth League when she was young. When the practitioner explained the significance of voiding her vows to distance herself from communism, Eva decided to quit these organizations using her real name.

A German couple was surprised to learn the extent of the CCP’s cruelty. They decided to sign the petition to help stop the CCP’s persecution.

A young man from India asked a practitioner about the background. When the practitioner explained, the young man asked, “You are from China. Why are you against China?” The practitioner said, “I love China and its traditions and culture, but the Chinese Communist Party is not China.” The young man gave her a thumb-up, and said, “You are right! I support you. If you hold any other activities in the future, feel free to let me know what I can help with.”

Edith

Edith said, “Returning to one’s origin and following Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance brings hope to our future. I strongly believe I have made the right choice, despite all the CCP slander against Falun Dafa.”

Ija

Ija started practicing Falun Dafa in 1997. She said that she hopes the Chinese people can see through the CCP’s lies and awaken to the truth. She is determined to continue spreading the truth until Falun Dafa practitioners in China gain their freedom of belief.

Background: What is Falun Dafa?
Falun Dafa (also known as Falun Gong) was first introduced to the public by Mr. Li Hongzhi in Changchun, China in 1992. The spiritual discipline is now practiced in over 100 countries and regions worldwide. Millions of people who have embraced the teachings, which are based on the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, and learned the five gentle exercises, have experienced uplifted health and well-being.

Jiang Zemin, former head of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), perceived the spiritual discipline's growing popularity as a threat to the CCP's atheistic ideology and on July 20, 1999, issued an order to ban the practice.

Minghui.org has confirmed the deaths of thousands of practitioners as a result of the persecution over the past 22 years. The actual number is believed to be much higher. More have been imprisoned and tortured for their faith.

There is concrete evidence that the CCP sanctions the harvesting of organs from detained practitioners, who are murdered to supply the organ transplant industry.

Under Jiang’s personal direction, the CCP established the 610 Office, an extralegal security organization with the power to override the police and judicial systems and whose sole function is to carry out the persecution of Falun Dafa.
