Norway: Protesting at the Chinese Embassy against the CCP's Persecution of Falun Gong

July 20th, 2006, marks the seventh year in the Chinese Communist regime's brutal persecution of Falun Gong. From July 15th, Falun Gong practitioners in Norway started a twenty day continuous protest at the Chinese Embassy, condemning the Chinese Communist regime’s persecution of Falun Gong and the harvesting of organs from living Falun Gong practitioners illegally detained in forced labour camps and prisons. They appealed to the international community to stop this unprecedented atrocity. They also expressed their support to the twelve million Chinese people who have withdrawn from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organisations, which can lead to the dissolution of the CCP and help to end this evil persecution.

Falun Gong practitioners used loud speakers to broadcast the truth to the Embassy. They called upon the Embassy staff to realise the evil nature of the CCP and withdraw from the Party to save their future when the CCP collapses.

Practitioners also distributed leaflets about Falun Gong to passers-by and people coming to the Chinese Embassy for visa applications. They also went to the city centre, parliament and the Metro station near the National Theatre to give out leaflets.

At the Chinese Embassy, many passers-by and Norwegians and Chinese people who came to the Embassy for visas happily accepted leaflets. After learning the truth, many of them expressed their support for Falun Gong practitioners. Some of them asked for more leaflets so that they could give them to their friends and relatives, informing them of the ongoing persecution occurring in China. Two Chinese people said: “We know the CCP is very bad over a long period of time. What you are doing is really good. Keep up the good work.” A young mother with a child didn’t accept the leaflet at first. When she passed the banner “The CCP established concentration camps to harvest organs from living Falun Gong practitioners”, she stopped and carefully read the banner. Her eyes were filled with tears. She came back asking for a leaflet and said repeatedly: “I am really sorry I didn’t take your material.”

Because of Falun Gong practitioners’ continuous efforts in explaining the truth to the public, many Norwegian people learned the truth and helped to spread the truth. Recently Norwegian’s main newspaper Aftenposten published an article exposing the atrocity of the CCP’s organ harvesting of living Falun Gong practitioners. One day, practitioners were giving out leaflets at the Metro station near the National Theatre, an elderly lady came over and told practitioners that they should be more active and distribute more leaflets. She then helped practitioners to give out leaflets and told Norwegians about the inhuman persecution occurring in China. Practitioners were very moved and determined to work hard to let more people know the truth.
