(Clearwisdom.net) On the Saturday before Easter, in Hanover’s downtown, nine Falun Gong practitioners stood still holding banners that read, "36 Concentration Camps in China Engaged in A Dirty Business with Organs Harvested from Falun Gong Practitioners." They were there to inform the public about the inhuman persecution of their fellow practitioners in China.

The practitioners' main objective was to inform the public of the existence of 36 concentration camps in China, where organs are harvested from living Falun Gong practitioners and sold for profit. The practitioners distributed 3,000 flyers. Many people were visiting downtown Hanover that day. They wanted to hear they details and they expressed their sympathy and support after viewing the pictures and photos of the persecution.

This event was just before the Hanover Industrial Fair. For years, many visitors have come from China for this event. There were also are many Chinese students studying at the Technological University and a nearby high school.

A young Chinese man, around twenty years old, passed by with his English girlfriend. He questioned the practitioners critically and it was obvious that he had heard a lot of communist propaganda. But, he attentively listened to what the practitioner had to say and was very willing to accept the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party.

Another Chinese person who approached us asked for the location of the nearest Falun Gong practice site where he could learn the exercises for free. He said he used to practice Falun Gong, but had stopped when the persecution began in China in 1999. He left us his contact information.

A Chinese woman, who has lived in Japan for years and who regularly reads reports on human rights issues and other problems in China caused by the Chinese Communist Party, said that she is well aware of what is going on. She expressed her sympathy and said that she hopes for an early end to the persecution.

Another Chinese woman stopped by. She had heard about the illegal persecution in China. She held the opinion that the Communist Party holds too much power and that we were way out of our league. She asked us, showing great anxiety, if she really was allowed to talk to us and if we were being monitored. She told us that she knows about the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, but has not really read them. At the end of our discussion, she took our informational newspaper, wished us all the best and promised to read the Nine Commentaries carefully. She also promised to consider quitting the Chinese Communist Party.

During the event we saw clearly that nearly all people recognized the unjustness of the persecution that was perpetrated by the Chinese Communist Party. Many asked, "What can we do to help?" They expressed their disgust at the CCP's crimes and signed our petition, through which they showed their disapproval of the persecution.
