Germany: Widespread Support for Falun Gong and Condemnation of the Chinese Communist Regime's Persecution of the Practice

Before Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao headed a four hundred people delegation to attend the “Hamburg China-Europe Summit” in Germany from September 13th to September 15th, the human rights division of the German Falun Gong Association called on the political and media communities in Germany to rescue Falun Gong practitioners being persecuted in China. To put an end to the seven year old persecution, they also launched a campaign to invite the general public to sign a petition on a website. After an open letter was released, the human rights division of the German Falun Gong Association has received many people’s responses with supporting messages. The Chinese Communist atrocities of cruel torture and the anti human acts have made more and more people around the world become aware of the intrinsic nature of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and more and more voices of justice have been heard. We can tell German people’s sense of justice from the messages left by them. They called on the German government to help put an end to the Chinese Communist regime’s persecution, and condemned the crimes of harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners. When people around the world are awakened and stand up to oppose the CCP, the CCP will be dissolved and eliminated forever in human history. The following are the messages left by Germans:

Appeal to the German Government

“We should not turn a blind eye to the Chinese Communist regime atrocities because of its economic development.” Katrin Behrens from Berlin

“What the Chinese Communist regime thinks is to talk about human rights secretly, but it is by no means enough. The persistent persecution against Falun Gong in the past seven years is one of the examples.” Sabine Weigelt from Germany

“It is a shame on Germany to flatter the Chinese Communist regime.” Martin Berger from Thuringian, Germany

“It is a shame on the German government to keep silent on this matter. In terms of human rights, action speaks louder than words and it should be done as soon as possible.” Franz Zimmermann from Germany

“I’m only thirteen, but when I was told about the atrocity of the cruel torture, I could not help crying. I am so young, dear German government, please help me. Don’t let me cry. Thank you.” Lisa Philipps from Bavaria State, Germany

Uphold justice and stop the massacre

“We were not able to stop the genocide against the Jews in Germany during the Nazi times, as too few kind-hearted people had experienced it. Our indifference towards the on-going massacre in China is tantamount to our committing crimes. We should strike up our courage to put an end to this persecution altogether.” Dannebauer Remo from Baden Wuerttemberg, Germany

“I am eighty nine years old, and had to fight for Hitler in the past. The horrendous war almost destroyed my family and my entire life. My daughter told me that Falun Gong practitioners’ organs were harvested in China. Originally, I thought that such cruel incident would never happen again in the world. I am getting old, and don’t use a computer. But what makes me happy is that my daughter told me this matter and she is enthusiastic about letting more people pay attention to this inhuman atrocity. I hope that all the governments would stop this torture and abuse as soon as possible. All the people should be responsible for what they have done.” Max Stock from Germany

Support the campaign and oppose the Chinese government’s persecution

“As long as the Chinese Communist regime does not respect human rights, it cannot be regarded as a member of human society.” Grieser-Richter from a university library in Berlin

“Let all the Chinese people know that we all have known what has happened in China and felt shameful about the persecution.” Maria Thrnig from Kreis Heilbronn city, Germany

“Since I am against any human right abuse, I support the appeal for the release of all those who are being illegally incarcerated by the Chinese Communist regime.” Jens Mencke from Germany

“Out of humanity, I support the appeal, and I believe in the accuracy of the data compiled by the Falun Gong group. I would like to urge the Chinese Communist regime to respect prevailing human rights, and I hope that the goal of the appeal will be realised.” Dr.D.Wulf Overdyckfrom Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany

“We can express our opposition to the Chinese Communist persecution simply by sending out an appealing message. Now that so many people have sent out their appealing messages, I would not have any second thought to do so.” Jiri Hejl from German

Reflection and self-consciousness

“When someone was giving away flyers to expose the persecution against Falun Gong in the downtown, almost no one paid attention to him. ‘I cannot help!’ Since it was what most people thought about it, they just threw the flyers into trash bins. If it had not been for so many people becoming so indifferent, this persecution against Falun Gong would have been ended. The persecution must be stopped!” - Katja Plat from the Ruhr, Germany

“I support the appeal because I think and hope that all the people around the world would think that we are living in the 21st century as opposed to the medieval times. It is high time human beings realised that all the dictators shall be eliminated.” Sven Meyer from Bavaria State, Germany

“The Chinese Communist regime should respect and protect human beings, other animals and ecological environment. As a consumer, I’ll try my best not to buy the merchandises from those countries abusing animals and destroying the ecological environment and I’ll ask people around me to do so.” Annemarie Knie from Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany
