(Clearwisdom.net) On Friday, May 5, 2006, Falun Gong practitioners in
France went to the Convention Subway Station in Paris to expose the evil deeds
of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). They played recordings, displayed poster
boards, collected signatures, and distributed truth-clarification leaflets.
People condemned the CCP's crimes and appealed to the world's people to stop the
CCP's cruel killing. Many citizens signed the petition to the French President.
They urged the French government to make efforts to rescue Falun Gong
practitioners who are being persecuted in CCP' labor camps, prisons, and
concentration camps. French students listen to the facts seriously. French people sign the petition to support Falun Gong
practitioners. One French lady who has been to China said she already knew that the CCP
persecutes Falun Gong practitioners. She told us her experience of applying for
a visa at the Chinese Embassy and her journey in China. She said: "I know
this issue because when I went to apply for a tour visa to China, I happened to
see some activities similar to this in front of the embassy. I took some
handouts. When I entered the embassy, the door guard asked me to throw away the
handouts and newspapers about Falun Gong. I refused and said to them: 'I haven't
seen them yet; you can't force me to do things! This is not China!' They then
became very angry. After 15 days, I picked up my visa and went to China, and
stayed there for about 10 days. However, my luggage was slashed and broken. I
don't know whether it was because I read some Falun Gong newspaper and attracted
their attention, though it could be a coincidence. When I was in China, I indeed
couldn't appreciate some Chinese peoples' behavior. There were many soldiers
spying on the tourists all the time. I know that one lady and her entire tour
group were taken to the police station and kept there for a whole night. All of
their film was taken out of their cameras. The police inspected all of their
photos without giving any reasons. I guessed that they thought that there might
be some photos regarding Falun Gong practitioners. From then on, I started to
realise what had happened. But I never knew about the organ harvesting. It is so
horrible! In a time like now, they (CCP) still torture these people! It is too
cruel! I think you people are very courageous. What you have done is very good.
We must let people know all about this." Another lady said: "I don't know the entire situation of organ
harvesting. I have seen the letter to the President. I hope more people can come
to sign it. I hope we can stop what is happening. We must expose it to the whole
world. All of these things just cannot be accepted. We must take some action,
spread this information to more people, to let people know what still exists in
this world. Apart from our actions, the French government can make some effort
as well. I hope we can make something happen to stop these atrocities." A young lady said: "I think this is too cruel, we need to take action
now. The media need to report more news, and let more people stand up against
this crime. I think the French people can put some effort into this." One student said: "I think this is unacceptable, such a thing should not
happen in this century. We haven't seen this since the 'Nazi years during World
War II. Organ harvesting is totally intolerable to me, which is why I signed the
petition. For me as a young person, I think I should put some effort for the
future." Mr Joelle, a Cuban who has obtained political asylum in France, said: "I
used to be a reporter in Cuba. Under the communist rule, if a reporter wants to
tell the truth, he faces the danger of being persecuted to death. We do not have
freedom of speech, everything is under the government's close control." Ms. Alice said: "It is unbelievable! How can such a thing happen! This
is shocking. It's horrifying! The French government must do something. I would
feel ashamed if my country doesn't take any action." Mr Saloum said angrily: "This is a disaster. Communism is always like
this. The high-ranking people in the government get all the benefits while the
people are dying. I hope the situation will change one day." Since the CCP's harvesting of organs from live Falun Gong practitioners was
revealed, Falun Gong practitioners have organised several activities like this
to expose the crimes to the French public. The French people's' responses have
been very strong, with lots of voices supporting Falun Gong practitioners in
urging the international community to stop the atrocities. Falun Gong
practitioners indicated that as long as the persecution continues, they will not
stop exposing the evil nature of the CCP, and urging the international community
to take action immediately.
Ms. Alice signs the petition together with her child.
