(Clearwisdom.net) On July 20, 2006, the 7th anniversary of
the start of the persecution of Falun Gong in China, Falun Gong practitioners in
Berlin, Germany held a daylong protest activity from 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. in
front of the Chinese embassy on Jannowitz Bridge, although temperatures reached
up to 34 degrees centigrade.
Informing Berlin citizens about the persecution |
Falun Gong practitioners protest the persecution in front of the Chinese
embassy |
Many people passing by accepted flyers with information about the forced
organ removals from living Falun Gong practitioners in China. We also met many
people who told us that they already knew about it. There have been
practitioners protesting in front of the Chinese embassy for almost as long as
the persecution has lasted. During the last years, practitioners have been
coming to the Jannowitz Bridge almost daily. It is easy to understand why many
people who live or work close by would be well informed about the persecution.
Although the staff at the embassy tried numerous times using police
intervention to force us to abandon our protests in front of the largest embassy
in Europe, we never gave up and we will maintain our peaceful vigil in front of
the embassy until the end of the persecution.
In the morning, one young lady from a Berlin radio station came to interview
two Falun Gong practitioners. She asked detailed questions about why we practice
Falun Gong and why we participate in protest activities. Perhaps she will tell
her young listeners about our activities to let more people learn about the
persecution.
It is the hope of all Berlin Falun Gong practitioners that we will not have
to repeat the same protest in front of the Chinese embassy on July 20 of next
year. We hope that the brutal persecution will be over by that time, because
seven years are too long already.
