Russia: Residents of Petrozavodsk Condemn the Chinese Communist Regime’s Persecution of Falun Gong

On February 17th 2007, Russian Falun Gong practitioners gathered at the business centre of Petrozavodsk, a city in northern Russia, despite the chilly weather and blizzards, to tell people about the Chinese Communist regime’s persecution against Falun Gong, as well as expose the vile regime’s atrocities of harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners for profit.

Though the temperature was very cold, local people still wanted to know about the persecution. They attentively viewed the poster display boards and listened to practitioners explain the facts about the Chinese Communist regime’s human rights crimes. After learning about the persecution, they condemned the Chinese regime’s atrocities and signed the petition to support the anti-persecution activity.

After learning about the persecution, some people from nearby cities invited Falun Gong practitioners to hold similar activities in their cities, saying that people there are very kind and would support Falun Gong. Some Chinese students passing by the scene took the initiative to ask practitioners for Chinese versions of the leaflets and said that they would give them to their classmates.

Reporters from a local TV Station and a cable TV station interviewed the Falun Gong practitioners.

Currently the Chinese Communist regime not only persecutes Falun Gong in China, but it also disseminates lies overseas to slander Falun Gong, aiming to extend the persecution to other countries. Russian Falun Gong practitioners’ activities were often interfered with in various ways. The practitioners stated that they would make good use of various opportunities to clarify the facts, and to eliminate the negative impact of the lies disseminated by the Chinese regime, so that those who were deceived by the Chinese Communist regime would be able to clearly realise the evil nature of the Chinese Communist Party.
