(Clearwisdom.net) Although it is already mid-March, snow is still everywhere in St. Paul. In the world of snow and ice, Minnesota practitioners held a press conference in front of the State Government Building to protest the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP's) Sujiatun Concentration Camp, which routinely kills practitioners and harvests their organs for profit.

Practitioners braved the cold weather to raise public awareness of the inhumane atrocities taking place in the Sujiatun Concentration Camp. When a regime persecutes practitioners of "Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance" using extreme and brutal measures, when it makes a profit by harvesting organs from live people, when it slaughters kind-hearted civilians, people cannot remain indifferent. If mankind does nothing in the face of brutal atrocities, mankind will no longer have true peace and happiness and the world will have no hope or future.

Though it was very cold, there was a constant stream of people in front of the State Government Building. Among them were students, seniors, tourists, reporters and civil servants. The practitioners' colorful banners and posters gave every individual who came to the building a good opportunity to learn the truth. Some talked with practitioners, some received practitioners' newspaper or fliers, and some signed a petition upon learning of the atrocities. Many expressed their outrage and thanked the practitioners for their peaceful protest, which gave them the opportunity to learn about the situation in Sujiatun. A reporter from the Asian American Press was very interested in the event and conducted an in-depth interview at the site.

At the same time, some practitioners went inside the building to deliver truth-clarifying packages to government officials, requesting them to pay attention to the situation at Sujiatun and to take appropriate action to end the atrocities.

In a speech at the rally, a practitioner said, "We will try our best to let the public know about the genocide of Falun Gong in the Sujiatun Concentration Camp, and we will take all possible peaceful measures to resist the persecution and stop the CCP's atrocity."
