Germany: Munich Practitioners Clarified the Truth to Tourists and VIPs in Chinese and German Political Circles

On the evening of August 1st, in the palace in Munich a reception was held by the Chinese Embassy and German Bavaria State Government to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of the diplomatic tie between China and Germany. VIPs from both Chinese and German political circles were invited. After hearing of the news, Dafa practitioners in Munich immediately applied for permission to hold a candlelight vigil in Odeons Square in front of the palace. The candlelight vigil was held to commemorate the practitioners who had been tortured to death by Jiang's evil regime and to clarify the truth to the attendees of the reception.

That evening in Odeons Square, Dafa practitioners held up the photos of the victimized practitioners, unfolded the banners on which were written the words, "SOS: China Stops Killing," and lit the candles. The candlelight, the photos of the victims, and the solemnity and dignity of the scene attracted a lot of attention.

The attendees and the passers-by stopped to take a look and were shocked by the brutal acts of Jiang's evil regime. They asked for the information and materials about the truth of the persecution. Some of them learned the exercises on the spot, and some of them even sent a lot of chocolate to the practitioners who were practising exercises. Some officials in the Chinese Embassy accused practitioners from China of not loving their country. We asked them, "To love one's country is to love one's people first. Hundreds of our fellow Chinese were tortured to death by Jiang's evil regime. Thousands of Chinese are under persecution. And you are aiding the tyrant in his tyranny, torturing and killing Chinese. What do you mean by loving your own country?" The Chinese officials fell quiet. They also felt that Jiang's brutal acts were too shameful to be revealed. That was why they were afraid of letting people around the world know the truth.
