Spain: Spanish Practitioners Rally at the Chinese Embassy to Commemorate the April 25th 1999 Appeal

On April 25th eight years ago, over 10,000 Falun Gong practitioners peacefully appealed to the Chinese State Council’s Appeal Office in Beijing, requesting the Chinese Communist government to release the Falun Gong practitioners who had been illegally arrested in Tianjin and to allow Falun Gong practitioners, who cultivate themselves according to the principles of “Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance”, to practice the Falun Gong exercises in public places. After the then premier talked to representatives of the Falun Gong practitioners and the issues were solved smoothly, the practitioners dispersed peacefully.

That was the very first time for Falun Gong practitioners to stage a large-scale appeal against the persecution with peaceful and upright means. During the entire process, practitioners' peaceful nature astonished the whole world, and their earnestness, compassion and tolerance also left a shinning page in human's history at that critical moment. However, out of his jealousy, Jiang Zemin, the then ruler, launched the inhuman persecution against Falun Gong practitioners three month later. He took advantage of all the state-controlled media to launch an overwhelming slander against Falun Gong and employed the entire national machine to proceed with this long-lasting persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. This inhuman persecution has been going on for eight years. During the past eight years, practitioners around the globe have persistently staged a peaceful protest with great compassion and tolerance. Eight years later, not only is Falun Gong not defeated, but it is acclaimed in the world more and more widely. In the meantime, the Chinese Communist regime’s inhuman atrocities have been entirely exposed to the whole world.

Spotting the banners and display boards exposing the Chinese Communist regime’s atrocities, passersby stop to read flyers so as to know more about the facts of the persecution.

In his speech, a Falun Gong practitioner condemned the Chinese Communist regime’s inhuman atrocities and tells the general public: “Heaven will eliminate the CCP, and only by quitting the CCP can one be safe.”

Spanish Falun Gong practitioners staged a peaceful protest at the Chinese Embassy in Spain to commemorate the eight anniversary of the “April 25 Appeal.” In front of the Chinese Embassy, Falun Gong practitioners displayed various display boards and banners exposing the Chinese Communist regime’s cruel persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. The flower wreath in the middle was for the commemoration of the Chinese practitioners persecuted to death by the evil Chinese Communist regime. The banners read “Strongly condemn the CCP’s atrocities of genocide, harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners and eliminating evidence by cremated their bodies in forced labour camps” “Stop persecuting Falun Gong” and “Support twenty million people withdrawing from the CCP.”

In his speech, a Falun Gong practitioner condemned the Chinese Communist regime’s inhuman atrocities against Falun Gong practitioners and told the world people the messages: “There are over twenty million people withdrawing from the CCP, and the evil spectre of CCP has been uprooted” and “Heaven will eliminate the CCP and only by quitting the CCP can one be safe.”
