Germany: Collecting Signatures Calling for Jiang to be Brought to Justice at Kirta Festival

A lot of people go to enjoy the Kirta Festival in Cham city near the Bavarian forest. Local Falun Gong practitioners considered this a good opportunity to let more people know about Falun Dafa and applied to the city council for a place to hold an information stall. Prior to every large-scale activity, we would always meet a government official who was “not interested in the truth of Dafa” and always found a reason to reject our application. However, this time the practitioners cooperated well, kept righteous thoughts and told the official about the genocide against Falun Gong in China; the official accepted our application.

At the start of the day, cold winds blew from all directions. Only a few people passed by. Later on practitioners from other cities arrived and we sent righteous thoughts persistently. Gradually, the sun came out, the cool wind got warmer and the temperature began to rise. This encouraged more people to come to check out the festival. They wanted to know why Falun Gong practitioners are persecuted so brutally in China. People who knew about the truth all came to sign a petition to bring Jiang Zemin, former leader of China and instigator of the persecution against Falun Gong, to justice.

Some people came straight to our petition table as soon as they saw us. After talking with them we realised that they had already learned that we are trying to stop the persecution and torture of Falun Gong practitioners in China from the local newspaper, which had reported on our petition to bring Jiang to justice. Two other newspapers also reported on our activities with several photographs and this allowed many more people to learn the truth about Falun Gong.
