(Clearwisdom.net) On September 4, practitioners from Washington, Oregon and Vancouver Canada held an anti-torture exhibition in Seattle's city center to disclose the Chinese Communist Party's brutal persecution of Falun Gong and to call for public attention and action to stop the six-year persecution.

Many civilians signed practitioners' petition

Passersby stopped to find out more

Practitioners demonstrated three torture methods in Westlake Park, including the tiger bench, hanging and beating, and the small cell. Practitioners have been widely subjected to these three methods in forced labor camps in China. The peacefulness of the exercise demonstration and the brutality revealed by the anti-torture exhibition cast a sharp contrast.

There were many tourists in the area over the Labor Day weekend and many of them were attracted by the exhibition. They stopped to ask for information, chat with practitioners and sign a petition showing their support. Tourists on the other side of the road also stopped to watch and listen to the practitioners' account from a megaphone.

One family came to Westlake Park on a carriage. The child insisted on finding out what practitioners were demonstrating. As soon as his father took him down, he went to the practitioners' site and obtained some truth-clarifying materials. He then happily went back to his parents.

A Chinese passerby told practitioners: Falun Gong is great. I have been to many places and have seen practitioners in all the big cities. I know the facts, and Jiang did the stupidest thing.

There were also people who didn't know the truth. After listening to practitioners' explanation, they said: "You should let your voices be heard at all major events."
