On July 9th, we arrived at Caen, the third stop on our tour of Normandy province. We set up a display stand and anti-torture exhibition in a park in the city centre. It was a sunny and breezy weekend, with passers-by streaming through. The anti-torture exhibition, in which practitioners simulated the methods of torture used against Falun Gong practitioners in China by the communist authorities, deeply touched the hearts of passers-by.
As well as the physical simulation of some of the torture methods, there were also photos of persecuted Falun Gong practitioners from China. After viewing the photos, a student from Nigeria sighed, “In my country there are corrupt officials who deprive people of their belongings for their personal interest. However, there have never been any physical atrocities like these against our own people. The persecution is really incredible.” After hearing the facts of the persecution of Falun Gong, a couple finally came to realise why a foreign student from China, whom they had known for ten years, never wanted to go back there and always arranged to meet her parents in Hong Kong.
Several high school students signed the petition to express their objection to the persecution of Falun Gong. They wrote down this message of support: “[The persecutors] should show respect for human rights and should let Falun Gong practitioners regain freedom. China should give its people freedom just like France. There should be no difference.” One of the police officers responsible for patrolling the area near our stand also signed the petition to express his support.
