France: “It Is Very Good for You to Do This”

On the 27th of August, French Falun Gong practitioners held activities in the famous Human Rights Square in Paris, exposing the Chinese Communist Party’s barbaric crime of setting up concentration camps in which they harvest Falun Gong practitioners’ organs when they are still alive, and at the same time condemning the seven years of the brutal persecution of Falun Gong practitioners, as well as showing their support for the Chinese human right lawyer Gao Zhisheng who has been detained by the CCP.

Falun Gong practitioners showed evidence of the persecution by the CCP and the witnesses’ testimony of the concentration camps on the display board; many people were shocked by this barbaric suppression by the CCP after learning the truth. They could not accept such inhuman behaviour and expressed their condemnation; many of them signed the petition to support Falun Gong practitioners. Many passers-by said that this kind of activity is very good and should be continued to tell more people about this brutality.

A French citizen asked for many leaflets and said, “This persecution should not exist, the Chinese government is afraid that these practitioners will gain power, but this comes from its political internal dread. The truth of the concentration camps has really shocked me; this is our humans’ mistake. Many things that are happening in China now have not been revealed to the rest of the world, so I think what you are doing now is very good. The French government should help by diplomatic means.

Ms. Martina used to study and work in China. She said to us, “The first time I went to China was in 1976 after the Gang of Four was dissolved and the last time I went to China was in May 1989, I was in the Tiananmen Square with those young bloods. I never went there again afterwards. I have heard many stories; however, I did not know that the persecution is still going on. I think it is superb to let people know and understand all of what is happening in China.”

Demonstration of the Falun Gong exercises

Falun Gong practitioners also demonstrated the five sets of Falun Gong exercises and distributed leaflets to passers-by to introduce Falun Gong. Many people were attracted by the gentle and relaxing exercises; they kept taking pictures and asking how and where to learn them.
