By a Falun Gong practitioner in Calgary
(Clearwisdom.net) On March 10, 2006, Falun Gong practitioners in
Calgary, Canada staged a hunger strike in front of the Chinese Consulate to
protest the CCP's atrocities in killing Falun Gong practitioners at Sujiatun
Concentration Camp in Shenyang City. The practitioners also held a candlelight
vigil to mourn Falun Gong practitioners who have died as a result of the
persecution. They called upon the Canadian government and people to pay close
attention to and help stop the genocide happening in China. Drivers in vehicles passing by honked the horns to show their support or
slowed down to learn about what is happening in China. Passersby also stopped to
watch what was happening. Some high school students on their way home passed by
our activity site and learned about the tragedy happening in China. Some of them
asked earnestly if they could donate some money to help. Another young man
stopped to ask what he could do for the Falun Gong practitioners. The practitioners expressed that they do not collect donations, but only hope
that people can help spread the truth to many more people who have been deceived
by the CCP's lies, or write to members of parliament to ask for their help to
stop the brutal persecution as soon as possible. A woman from Tibet lingered around the banners for quite some time, and
finally she told the Falun Gong practitioners, "You've done quite well, and
we Tibetans admire you. You're the only overseas Chinese group that dares to say
no to the CCP, and you have been keeping it up for so long. You will definitely
succeed!" Since the CCP started the persecution of Falun Gong on July 20, 1999, Falun
Gong practitioners have been peacefully clarifying the truth for nearly seven
years, and more and more people have learned about the evil nature of the CCP
and expressed their support for Falun Gong.
