Germany: Many Chinese Learn the Truth During Signature-Collecting Campaign in Munich (Photos)

(Clearwisdom.net) On March 14, 2003, Falun Dafa practitioners held a signature collecting campaign in Munich to appeal for help to rescue Lin Wenrong and all other persecuted Falun Gong practitioners. Practitioners called upon the international community to help promptly stop the genocidal campaign against Falun Gong in China.

We started with sending forth righteous thoughts outside the Chinese Consulate in Munich and making appeals. Then, we gathered at downtown Maria Square. The theme of our campaign was related to the persecution cases occurring this month. We were appealing to the German people to contact their government representative about the persecution of Falun Gong. We gave a petition letter to everyone who signed their name in support of Falun Gong and was willing to invite their friends to sign the petition.

On the petition were the names of seven persecuted practitioners in need of our urgent help: the wife of Zhang Zhentong, Wang Xiaoyan, the mother of Cheng Gang, Pan Huiqing, Liu Hongbo, the teacher of Zhu Xiaoyan, Liu Shan, the old classmate of Wu Song, Wang Weiyu, Xiong Wei who had pursued further studies in Berlin, and Lin Wenrong who is a student in D sseldorf and was recently imprisoned whilst visiting her family in China because she practices Falun Gong.

Today there were many visitors from China. After seeing our huge poster, they were stunned; some of them even whispered, "Rescue, rescue." Many Chinese people came to express their support and asked for Dafa leaflets and Video-CDs. Today, there were many more Chinese people who signed the petition. Some tourists from China said that Falun Gong is good and dared to speak up for Falun Gong even when someone in their travel group had opposing opinions.

Many people took an interest in our colorful and rich display cards, in particular the Falun emblem. When I asked them if they knew the history of their ancestors, many of them said yes. Then, I would tell them something about the Falun emblem. This was a good idea from one Western practitioner to relate Falun Gong to Germans by associating the Falun emblem to their ancestors' history. When they come to understand Falun Gong, people can feel closely related to the genocidal campaign happening in China.

Today significantly more of the public offered to sign the petition. Many of them wanted to take a petition letter home for their friends and family to sign.
