On December 9, 2006, practitioners from the north of England gathered to hold an activity to further inform the public about Falun Gong and the brutal and illegal persecution taking place against this peaceful spiritual practice.

Besides handing out leaflets to the passers-by, there was also a large poster board display depicting the true history of the Chinese Communist Party. The boards provided information about the killings, famine, and extreme suffering that took place during the Cultural Revolution. The posters also provided information about the Tienanmen Square incident in which many students were injured or killed. The purpose of providing such information is to show the British public what the CCP is truly about. This in turn enables them to make a more rational decision regarding the fact that such a peaceful practice is so ruthlessly persecuted.
Many people took the time to stop and take a leaflet or sign the petition calling for a stop to the illegal organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners. It is widely known that, in China, organs are removed from executed prisoners without permission from the prisoner or family members. The attorney and former Canadian Secretary of State David Kilgour and Canadian human rights attorney David Matas confirmed that China harvests organs, not only from prisoners fated to die, but also from living Falun Gong practitioners. This is done totally in secret, is systematically planned, and is done on a grand scale. This was a great shock to many passing shoppers, who simply couldn't imagine such an atrocity taking place.
With the early arrival of the winter nights we packed up and left, happy to know that now more people understand the truth about the persecution of Falun Gong.
