[Minghui] On December 8, we participated, by invitation, in the Human Rights Week activities sponsored by the International Human Rights Organization in Auckland City, New Zealand. At the Aotea Square in the center of Auckland City, more than twenty Dafa practitioners demonstrated the five sets of Falun Dafa exercises on stage, with the music playing in the background. A Western practitioner introduced the characteristics of Falun Gong and the persecution that Dafa practitioners in China are receiving to the audience. We hung up photographic posters above our table so pedestrians would learn the true facts about Falun Dafa. We then rushed to the front of the Chinese Embassy in New Zealand, and held high banners reading: "China: Stop Persecuting Falun Gong!" "95 Falun Gong Practitioners Died Due to Torture!" We also gave out Falun Dafa information to pedestrians outside the embassy

At about 4:30 p.m., six staff members from the Chinese Embassy came out with their hands full of propaganda materials and laughed at the practitioners. The practitioners, benevolently tried to clarify the true facts surrounding the persecution to them. Some were rendered silent by the facts presented by the practitioners, while others debated endlessly and talked incoherently. We had great pity on those people who chose to follow the evil.
