By a practitioner from Russia
(Clearwisdom.net) On September 15, 2006, Falun Gong practitioners staged
a rally on Indira Gandhi Square in Moscow. The purpose was to expose the Chinese
Communist Party's (CCP) persecution of Falun Gong. In particular, activities
were held to expose the CCP's crimes of harvesting organs from living Falun Gong
practitioners. Display board reads, "Falun Gong practitioners imprisoned in prisons and
labor camps are being tortured and killed, with their organs harvested for sale
while they are still alive. The CCP is committing crimes against divine
law." Re-enacting one of the many forms of torture used on Falun
Gong practitioners in China. People sign a petition to support efforts to end the
persecution. Gandhi Square sits between Lomnosov Moscow State University and Friendship
Street, where the Chinese embassy is located. Practitioners displayed banners
reading, "Falun Dafa" and "Truthfulness, Compassion,
Forbearance." Display boards were erected to expose the facts of the CCP's
persecution of Falun Gong. Meanwhile, some of the practitioners put on an
anti-torture exhibition. Another practitioner explained the beauty of Falun Dafa
and facts of the persecution over a loudspeaker. Passersby read the materials on the display boards and were given
truth-clarification flyers. Many people signed the petition to support efforts
to end the persecution. An older person who had traveled a long distance to Moscow stood in front of
the display boards, reading the displayed materials attentively. He told the
practitioners, "I find it impossible to use words to describe my inner
feelings. What can I do for you? I will take your materials back to those around
me to let more people understand what is happening in the world." He also
signed the petition. A practitioner acting as a woman imprisoned in a cage in the anti-torture
exhibition was asked how she felt. She sighed heavily, "Two years ago when
I was acting as a practitioner imprisoned in a cage in an anti-torture
exhibition outside the Chinese embassy, I kept shedding tears for fifteen
minutes. I felt so close to China. I could sense the suffering inflicted on my
Chinese fellow practitioners. It was as if I were personally experiencing the
suffering. It was a type of innermost feeling that words cannot adequately
describe. Hopefully, our activities can enable people to understand that the CCP
is committing crimes against humanity in China. It is everyone's responsibility
to uphold justice and to end the evil." An organizer of the activities told a reporter, "We organize such
activities in an attempt to have our society, government and media express
concern over the current persecution in China. To keep silent about such a
brutal persecution is, in fact, to tolerate evil. We feel obliged to tell people
the facts so as to awaken them to their conscience and kindness. It is a comfort
to see the kindness of most Russian people who unanimously condemn such
persecution, torture and killing. We have heard many expressions of sympathy and
support."
