Falun Gong practitioners in Sydney hold a candlelight vigil in memory of their fellow practitioners who died from the CCP's persecution. |
One of the organizers of the event, Mr. Li, said the candlelight vigil aimed to raise awareness of the organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners in China. An independent investigation by former Canadian MP David Kilgour and human rights lawyer David Matas indicated the crime was still rampant in China. Some Chinese doctors actively or passively participated in the crime. They were deceived by the CCP's propaganda and became assistants to the biggest anti-human crime in the 21st century. He hoped the doctors at the conference would step forward to help stop the inhuman crime.
Falun Gong practitioners' persistent effort received the attention of the doctors at the conference. Some of them showed support at the Falun Gong practitioners' activity. More and more learned about the persecution against Falun Gong in China. It was the most tragic crime of the largest scale.
