(Clearwisdom.net) On the afternoon of April 19, Hu Jintao and his delegation left Seattle for Washington DC. The recent exposure of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)'s organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners imprisoned in concentration camps has caught the media's attention and aroused people's conscience. After learning the fact, many police and local people helped practitioners to hold banners, shouted, "Falun Dafa is great" and called their congressman to urge President Bush to demand that the CCP stop persecuting Falun Gong.

Asking CCP to stop persecution of Falun Gong

On Wednesday, Falun Gong practitioners continued their protest outside the Fairmont Olympic Hotel and demanded that the CCP stop its inhuman atrocities against the Chinese people.

The practitioners distributed handouts to passers-by and explained the facts of the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong. The police showed sympathy for the suffering of practitioners.

One police officer came over to help hold banners for more than two hours after learning about the CCP's persecution. He said, "I know Falun Gong practitioners have protested here overnight. This persecution is wrong."

A police officer o told a practitioner from San Francisco, "As police, we cannot support either party. But we maintain order and will stop anyone who makes trouble." When pro-CCP persons with CCP's flags blocked practitioners' banners, the police officer told the those persons, "This lady has been standing here for a while already. You cannot stand here. Go somewhere else."

On Wednesday morning, some police were on duty outside the hotel. Practitioner Lin Fei said that a police officer told him, "You are good people." The police were nice to practitioners. Lin Fei said, "This morning, the CCP dispatched people to put a CCP flag in front of practitioners' banners. The police pulled away the flag and confiscated it."

On Tuesday, on the street outside the Microsoft Company, police on duty praised practitioners with thumbs up when they saw practitioners' truth-clarification truck with a banner supporting ten million people renouncing the CCP. Police said, "In private, we all support you."

Passers-by join the protest after learning about CCP's atrocities

On Wednesday, practitioners protested outside of Boeing Company when Hu visited there. A passer-by came over to help hold a banner and learned to say, "Falun Dafa is great" in Chinese. She told the correspondent, "I read Falun Gong's literature. I think CCP's persecution is horrible. Falun Gong is a peaceful and graceful practice, but the CCP does not allow its existence. The CCP does not allow people to live in peace. It is afraid of peace. This shows that CCP is very weak."

A local person named Steve learned about the organ removal from living practitioners in the CCP's labor camps. He said he read Falun Gong's truth-clarification materials and knew the persecution was wrong. He said, "Some people harm others for money. I saw on TV recently about the CCP's sacrifice of the people's interests for economic development. It is inhuman."

A professor opposed to the persecution told a practitioner, "You should contact the university and hold a large scale event. Then ask students from each university to participate in your march. You need to tell the media. I know that no media now speak for you. I'll email to them."

A local person was indignant after learning of the CCP's persecution of practitioners in labor camps. He made many copies of a handout and distributed them to other people.

Practitioner Lin Fei from San Francisco said, "On Tuesday, we held banners outside the Fairmont Hotel and shouted 'Falun Dafa is great'. Two of the five people holding CCP flags beside me shed tears. Later they wound up their flags and did not wave them anymore."

Some passers-by saw the posters exposing the persecution, and supported the effort to protest the CCP's tyranny by helping practitioners to hold banners.

Practitioner Lin Fei said, "I think that the CCP delegation heard our voices. All the CCP officials and US officials heard too. They also saw our banners. Yesterday those pro-CCP people were not friendly. This morning, they came over to shake hands with us. We talked to them about the persecution in China and they listened. They are changing."

Practitioner Wang Lei said, "The CCP's delegation stayed two days in Seattle and encountered practitioners many times. They heard our voices and saw our banners. I hope they understand and know the facts."

Regarding the CCP's atrocities of organ removal from living people that was recently exposed, Wang Lei said, "We have many banners to show this message. Through calling organ transplantation centers in every big city in China, we have confirmed that live organ removal from practitioners is occurring there. The atrocities are appalling. The CCP must allow the Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong in China (CIPFG) to enter China to conduct an investigation."
