Germany: Thousands of Visitors at the 18th African Festival in Würzburg Learn about the Persecution of Falun Gong


(Clearwisdom.net) The African Festival, which is well known way beyond the city limits of Würzburg, this time lasted from the 25th until the 28th of May. In spite of the bad weather, about 90,000 guests visited the festival. The reason for this enormous number of visitors may have been the well known Miriam Makeba, aka "Mother Africa" who officially performed her last concert in Germany.

On the occasion of this event on Saturday and Sunday, we were able to elaborate and inform thousands of visitors at the African festival about the persecution of Falun Gong in China. We distributed flyers and collected many signatures for an appeal to Mrs. Merkel, asking that our Federal Government intensifies its commitment for human rights in China and the end of the persecution of Falun Gong.

Almost all the people were shocked, sympathetic and helpful upon learning the facts that Falun Gong practitioners in China have not only been persecuted since July 1999, but also been tortured and killed. Yet indeed were also murdered for the purpose of organ trading and the removed organs were sold for profit to unsuspecting transplant recipients. People said that they felt helpless and stated that the people nowadays only think about money and that is the only reason why such tragedies can happen. Others could absolutely not understand how such an inhuman development could even have happened.
