Spain: People are Touched by an Anti-Torture Exhibition in Madrid

On the 8th of January, Spanish practitioners held an anti-torture exhibition in Sun Square in Madrid city centre to show what is happening to Falun Gong practitioners in China. People were astonished that such draconian methods of torture are still being used in the 21st century.

Many kind-hearted Spanish people lined up to sign a petition calling for Jiang Zemin to be brought to justice. Jiang is China’s former leader who personally launched the persecution against Falun Gong practitioners in July 1999 after learning that 100 million people were practising. It was Jiang who gave shocking orders such as if practitioners are "beaten to death it is nothing and shall be counted as suicide," and, "cremate their body directly without identifying the person." Jiang is now the subject of over 15 lawsuits around the world charging him with crimes against humanity, genocide and torture.

A practitioner talked with a local policeman about the human rights violations against people who practise Falun Gong in China. The policeman stated, “In the 21st century this kind of torture is definitely unacceptable. You must carry on and speak out for justice. Good luck to you and good luck to the lawsuit!” This policeman’s behaviour contrasted so sharply with that of the some of the police officers and law enforcers in China, who are used by Jiang and his regime to torture, abuse, imprison and brainwash Falun Gong practitioners who refuse to renounce their beliefs.

One lady was so deeply touched by the Falun Gong practitioners’ unyielding and determined resilience that she helped to hold up a banner. The Spanish European News Agency interviewed Falun Gong practitioners during the day.
