Japan: Tourists Shocked to See Torture Exhibit (Photos)
(Clearwisdom.net) On July 4, 2004, Falun Gong practitioners from Osaka
and surrounding areas gathered in Osaka Park and exhibited some life-like
torture methods used in the ongoing persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in
China.
Early in the morning, Falun Gong practitioners set up props. Actors and
actresses got ready for their roles as torture victims and violent
policemen. The first group of tourists who witnessed the demonstration were very
shocked by the scene. They thought Falun Gong practitioners were playing a
drama. When they learned that this was what was going in China in reality,
many tourists signed petitions and shook their heads. They said such
brutality was intolerable in the 21st century. When Falun Gong practitioners told them that the persecution, which
caused all these tortures, had been launched by Jiang Zemin, tourists
thought he deserved punishment. They signed their names in support of
global lawsuits against Jiang and asked what else they could do to help
stop the persecution. A young man from Russia told Falun Gong practitioners that he was
terrified by the level of brutality even though he had lived in a similar
social system. An elderly Japanese man expressed his deep sympathy to Falun Gong
practitioners in China. He repeatedly asked what he could do to support
Falun Gong and what he could do for Falun Gong practitioners in Japan. Upon knowing the persecution is covered up, a young lady from Norway
said she would tell her family, friends and colleagues about it and help
raise awareness of the persecution. A woman from Canada told practitioners that it was the first time that
she had seen a torture exhibit though she had heard about the persecution.
She took many pictures of the torture exhibit and asked practitioners what
she could do when she went back to Canada. Falun Gong practitioners asked
her to tell more kind people about the persecution. She said, "I
will. I will." Many young tourists from Korea were in tears when they heard Falun Gong
practitioners' explaination of the facts the persecution. When they
learned what they saw was less than 1% of what is in real life, they were
very worried about Falun Gong practitioners in China. Falun Gong practitioners in the exhibit put so much effort in their
roles that their work brought the brutal persecution to reality for
tourists from many countries. Even those practitioners who joined the
exhibit later were very shaken though they had known the persecution very
well. Through the torture exhibit, they called out from the bottom of
their hearts: It is time to stop the five-year-long persecution!
