On April 21st 2006, Falun Gong practitioners and their supporters held a rally in the centre of Riga, the capital of Latvia, after a hunger strike. The rally was entitled "Indifference will Turn Us into Accomplices of Criminals." The rally protested the Chinese Communist Party atrocities of having removed organs from live Falun Gong practitioners and called upon the international community to make immediate investigations into all forced labour camps in China.

In the city centre, those who participated in the rally raised banners reading "STOP! Stop the CCP's genocide! Stop all forced labour camps and hospitals from removing organs from live Falun Gong practitioners", "Stop the CCP from persecuting Falun Gong!" and "10,000,000 people have quit the CCP". Those attending the rally stated that the international community made the promise "Never Again" after World War II, but now a similar thing is happening in China. Therefore, we can't let indifference turn us into accomplices of the criminals.

A Dutch citizen learns the truth.

After hearing of the incident of organ harvesting in China, a Dutch citizen working in a medical company in Riga was shocked. He said: "It is too terrifying to imagine. I believe, such a protest is helpful to stop those horrible things happening right now in China."
