(Clearwisdom.net) On the afternoon of June 5 (Sunday) from 2 p.m. to 6:30
p.m., Falun Gong practitioners from Keelung City, Taiwan held an anti-torture
exhibition in the bustling Aisan Road bus terminal at the center of the city, to
clarify the truth to the local residents. The practitioners
reenacted the tortures that Falun Gong practitioners are subjected to in
Mainland China, so that people could learn the truth about this brutal
persecution and work together to help end it. Many people signed their names on
a petition to support the effort.

A waist drum team performed, accompanied by the music, "Falun Dafa is
Good." The stirring drumbeats marked the beginning of the anti-torture
exhibition. The live torture reenactments included the Tiger Bench,
piercing the fingers with bamboo sticks, being locked in a small cage and being
burned with an electric iron. These represented only a tiny portion of the
torture methods used by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) against Dafa
practitioners, but they were very shocking to the people of Keelung. They found
it preposterous that such tortures still exist in the 21st century.
Some people read the display boards describing more cruel tortures and listened
to the practitioners discussing how this was only the tip of an iceberg and
there were over a hundred torture methods being used on Falun Gong practitioners
in China. The practitioners explained that some of the tortures were so
unspeakable that it was not appropriate to display them in public, but said that
people could learn more about the situation by visiting Dafa websites.

Most of the people saw the anti-torture exhibit for the first time and the
scene shook their hearts. Many said that the Chinese Communist Party was so
cruel and evil. A middle-aged man was in tears and said that the CCP was so
ignorant of the law. A woman also wept when she saw the tortures reenacted. She
said that she could not imagine how anyone could bear such tortures and said
that Falun Gong practitioners' inner strength was so admirable. An elderly
gentleman watched the torture reenactment for a long time and finally said,
"I have watched for over 20 minutes. These practitioners playing the
torture victims have been exposed under the hot sun for such a long time. But
they don't move even a little bit. They are so peaceful and serene. A normal
person wouldn't be able to bear this."
Many people gathered to watch the anti-torture exhibition. Someone asked if
those were wax figures, real people or models. Some took images with their cell
phone cameras so as to show their friends and family members. One university
student carrying an expensive camera said he had a personal website, and his
blog has thousands of hits daily. He said he would write an article about the
anti-torture exhibition and put it on his blog, together with images. Two high
school students called their classmates and told them about the Communist
Party's inhuman tortures, and asked their friends to come immediately and see
for themselves.

The exhibition took place near the famous Keelung Harbor, close to the
well-known Miaokou Taiwan Snacks and railway station. On Sunday, there were a
lot of people, both young and old, passing by the place. The day before the
exhibition was the 16th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre
(June 4, 1989). Many people still had a vivid memory of the massacre. When they
saw that the Chinese Falun Gong practitioners were inhumanly tortured in
Mainland China, many people said they knew the Communist Party's evil nature had
never changed, and their methods had only become more cruel and brutal. Most
people immediately understood the evil nature of the CCP.
Even under six years of brutal persecution, Falun Gong continues to endure
and grow. There are still millions of practitioners cultivating Falun Dafa, and
Dafa has spread to over 60 countries throughout the world. Many people realized
that Falun Gong must have something special, and many people wanted to learn
Falun Gong.
The whole afternoon, beautiful Dafa music was playing continuously during the
event. Many people were moved. One practitioner who played a victim being
tortured said that during the exhibition, her tears kept falling. She felt that
the Mainland practitioners were so great, and under such a harsh situation they
were still clarifying the truth and saving the sentient being with great
compassion, truthfulness and tolerance. Another practitioner who played the role
of a wicked policeman also happened to be a real policeman in Taiwan. People
asked him how he performed so well. He said, "Policemen in Mainland China
who persecute Falun Gong are behaving like criminals. So I just played the role
of a thug."
