Germany: Practitioners Visit Saarlouis and Expose Organ-Harvesting in China

One passer-by couldn’t contain her tears after hearing that Chinese doctors, who should maintain life, remove organs from live Falun Gong practitioners. They could not believe that these doctors could cruelly commit such crimes. Many gave their signature in the hope that our government would do something to stop such heinous crimes.

On August 12th, 2006, Falun Gong practitioners from Saarland and Rheinland-Pfalz organised an activity in Saar-Louis. The goal was to tell as many people as possible about the organ harvesting on live Falun Gong practitioners by the Chinese Communist regime.

The practitioners distributed many flyers and held many discussions with passers-by, as some were very interested to hear about this matter. They asked about the reasons for such an inhuman persecution and were shocked about the extent of this persecution. Most of all, they were shocked about the organ harvesting from innocent people and about the unscrupulousness of the Chinese doctors, who did not respect life and who would, if China's Communist Party (CCP) asked, sell their souls.

Among the passers-by were some who wanted to learn more about Falun Gong and the exercises. I want to share below some of what we experienced that day.

After a young man, around thirty, heard the true situation about Falun Gong, he shared his deep sympathy and signed the petition. He was very well informed, and we had a long discussion. He explained, “I have passed this booth several times. In the beginning I was rather critical about this activity. But, I noticed the warm and sincere field around you people, after I had passed by a few times. This field was so above board and genuine, I couldn’t do anything else than stop and ask what is really going on". He was very shocked about the fact that the CCP in China removes organs from live Falun Gong practitioners. He took with him the informational material and wanted to learn the exercises. He left us with the words, “I wish you all the best and hope that this nightmare of murders in China will end soon".

A group of people ask about the persecution and organ harvesting

One woman headed straight for me and came to a standstill. She wanted to know every little detail about Falun Gong and the persecution. She was deeply shocked about all I had to tell her about the persecution. She then told me, “I just returned from Tibet. We visited many monasteries and other places of interest. The tour guide told us all about the country and its people, as well as what the CCP has done to the monks. She told us that communist monks infiltrated most of the monasteries, who know nothing about Buddhism or cultivation. The tourist guide also mentioned Falun Gong and the organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners. She mentioned that the same atrocities are committed against the Tibetan monks and others who do not agree with the CCP politics". She signed the petition, took some information material and a contact for learning the exercises. She thanked us deeply and was visibly shocked by all she had heard.

An elderly man stopped by at the information booth and looked closely at the posters and the information material. After I greeted him warmly, he said, “I have worked for more than twenty years in China and have heard about Falun Gong, but very little only. But, I do know that there is no freedom of belief in China and that the Chinese are indoctrinated with slogans, such as “The individual does not exist; only the group is important.” I can see this in the companies I work with. One sees everywhere CCP functionaries who monitor everything. The same happens in the Christian churches in Shanghai. The priest in that church is most likely a CCP employee.” I found during our discussion that he did not know the truth about Falun Gong and its persecution. After he heard that there were more than seventy million Falun Gong practitioners before the start of the persecution he suddenly remembered something, “Ah, yes, I remember now, I received this or last year the ‘Nine Commentaries on the Chinese Communist Party’ [an editorial published by The Epoch Times newspaper] from a lady in Munich. At that time I did not understand it. But, given your explanations, it suddenly makes sense.” He was very glad, signed the petition and took with him some information material. He wanted to show them to his students and his Chinese co-workers.

We had many more experiences with the people who wanted to hear the truth about what was going on in China. In the evening, I knew for sure, that the end of this horrible and murderous persecution of Falun Gong practitioners has come a step closer to its end.
