Russia: Practitioners in Moscow held an Anti-Torture Exhibition Condemning the Persecution of Falun Gong by the Chinese Communist Party

On September 11th, Falun Gong practitioners from Russia peacefully presented a petition on the streets of Moscow. By using real people to reenact the persecution and by displaying related pictures showing scenes of torture, practitioners demonstrated to people the brutal truth of Falun Gong's persecution for six years by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Holding banners with the words “2,740 Falun Gong Practitioners have been Persecuted to Death by the CCP, but the Persecution is Still Going On”, Russian practitioners were telling the world’s people about the persecution which is happening in China and appealing for the CCP to stop the human rights abuses against Falun Gong.

Many passers-by asked, “Why are those good people who believe in Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance being persecuted in China?” Practitioners told them patiently, “It is because China is at present under the rule of the Communist Party’s dictatorship. The nature of the Communists is to monopolise the wealth of society and cause terror among people by using force, making people ratify its club like law by telling lies and cheating, making people lose their nature of kindness and honesty by airing repeatedly its atheism. The fact that the belief of “Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance” has been widely recognised and well received has not only made the head of the CCP jealous but frightened as well and that’s why they started the persecution.”

At the same time, practitioners also told people, “Although Hu Jintao has been in power for three years, the persecution is still going on and the means of the persecution is becoming more concealed.” Russians used to suffer from the dictatorship of the Soviet Communist Party and could relate with plight of the Chinese people. On hearing the truth, they signed the petition one after another showing their support against the persecution.

A kind-hearted policeman who was in the line of duty asked practitioners: “Is it useful for you to hold such an activity while the CCP is still persecuting Falun Gong?” Practitioners told him, “The means used by the CCP to persecute Falun Gong is to deceive and blind the world’s people. All governments and the media are included mainly by starting rumours. What we are doing now is directly explaining the facts of the persecution to the Russian people. In the meantime, we are also explain the truth to all governments and media in the hope that they can make a clear distinction between right and wrong, good and evil, position themselves well and not be deceived by the CCP. What we are doing now is beneficial to all countries and their people. So those who have done evil deeds are very frightened, they are afraid of their evil deeds being exposed and are afraid of the awakening of kind people all over the world, because the power of justice will cause the evil to have no places to hide. So what we are doing now is very meaningful.” After hearing what we explained, the policeman was very pleased and asked practitioners for further information.
