Sweden:Commemorating Eight Years of Persecution at the Chinese Consulate General in Gothenburg

Falun Gong practitioners in Gothenburg are usually outside the Chinese Consulate regularly to request an immediate end to the brutal persecution that Falun Gong practitioners in China are facing. On July 20th, there was a larger gathering because it was eight years to the day since the brutal persecution was initiated by the Chinese communist party. Therefore practitioners displayed a banner in front of the Consulate with the text: “8 years of brutal persecution in China, must be stopped now.” This persecution has caused so much suffering and loss for the Chinese people.

Protesting at the Consulate

Up until today there are more than 3,000 documented deaths of innocent Falun Gong practitioners have taken place at the hands of the Chinese Communist Party. This is only the top of the iceberg due to the enormous information block by the Chinese communist Party, and it has made it very difficult to know how many practitioners have been tortured to death. It has also shocked the world when recent reports exposed the concentrations camps where organ harvesting is happening against living Falun Gong practitioners.

During the protest at the consulate in Gothenburg, Falun Gong practitioners demonstrated the five sets of exercises that are included in the practice and sent forth righteous thoughts. They also distributed leaflets which informed the public that it was eight years ago since this persecution was initiated and about the concentration camps where organ harvesting is happening against living Falun Gong practitioners. This organ harvesting has also been verified in an independent report made by previous Canadian Member of Parliament and Secretary of State David Kilgour, and human rights lawyer David Matas.

It is eight years ago that this persecution was initiated and this persecution must stop immediately. Falun Gong practitioners also wanted to urge the staff at the Consulate and others who have relations with the Chinese Communist Party not to participate in this persecution abroad by spreading slanderous propaganda.
