Austria: Supporting Justice without National Boundaries

"Falun Gong practitioners. I frequently saw them in front of the Chinese Embassy in Hungary", said a young couple. The young lady took a leaflet, and said she got a similar one in Hungary and had already understood the persecution of Falun Gong by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), so they immediately signed their names on the petition to condemn the CCP’s evil conduct. Another pair of Hungarian youths, Hanuitos and Attila, said that their country was also ruled by the Communist Party, so they understand very well that the Communist Party can do any bad thing.

On March 17th, 2007, Falun Gong practitioners came to Stephansdom Cathedral in Vienna city centre to hold activities. They demonstrated the Falun Gong exercises and set up banners and display boards to expose the CCP’s crime of organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners and called for the rescue of Falun Gong practitioners in China.

Vienna is Austria's capital, the world famous music city, full of tourists. The Stephansdom Cathedral is the place every tourist must visit. Many tourists were attracted by Falun Gong practitioners’ exhibition and reluctant to part with. Some of them chatted with practitioners and wanted to obtain more information. Having seen the banners, Vienna citizens and people from all over the world including Italy, Mexico, Hungary, Taiwan, Australia, Brazil, Korea, and Germany signed their names to the petition without hesitation to call for stopping the CCP’s atrocities. Many tourists from China passed by the exhibition and also took the booklet the “Nine Commentaries on the CCP”.

A middle school student told Falun Gong practitioners that, she is going to write a report on the topic of Falun Gong and wished that Falun Gong practitioners could help her and complete the report together.

Near the end of this activity, suddenly a big group of young people turned up. “Such a brutal thing, why don’t we know? I want to sign to stop this conduct I come from Brazil, please give me more material, I will take them back home” Having seen the demonstration of Falun Gong exercises and the banners of exposing the CCP’s atrocity of harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners, they came to the front of the information table and eagerly wanted to know what happening in China and then they signed their names to protest against the CCP atrocity.
