(Clearwisdom.net) On the afternoon of October 21, 2005, Falun Gong practitioners in Paris read in Chinese and French a Falun Dafa Association announcement in front of the Chinese Consulate in Paris. The announcement that was published on October 9 states, "The CCP regime is against heaven's will, and is about to collapse. It is now having difficulty sustaining the persecution. Heaven's final judgment of these evil criminals is imminent. However, one of the purposes of the sacred Fa of Falun Gong is to save people, including people in all social statuses. Even for those who have committed wrongdoings, there is still an opportunity for them to abandon the evil path and choose to be good. For all those who have committed crimes against Falun Gong but want now to correct their mistakes, they can submit, under safe circumstances, a guarantee statement or regret letter to Minghui (Clearwisdom Net) or to any regional Falun Dafa Association to be archived. We will not investigate the various crimes of those who are determined to correct their mistakes. However, we will continue to monitor their actions."

Carefully reading Falun Gong truth-clarification flyer

In order to help people who work for the Chinese Consulate to realize the evil nature of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and abandon the evil path as soon as possible, French Falun Gong practitioners hung banners and displayed Falun Gong truth-clarification posters. The banners read, "Falun Dafa, Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance", and "Rescue Falun Gong Orphans". They also read together in both Chinese and French the Falun Dafa Association announcement. Many people who passed by and those who went to the Chinese Consulate to get visas or renew passports stopped to carefully listen. The truth-clarification posters and display boards that introduce the children victims in the persecution of Falun Gong drew many people's attention, who came over and asked for more information.

People who became aware of the facts reached out their helping hands. Some people signed the petition to support the rescue effort. Some people took petition forms and said they would ask their friends and family members to sign to express their support.

Paris Falun Gong practitioner Cheng Fa said, "Today, we come here to tell those Chinese Consulate officials about the content of the Falun Dafa Association announcement, so that they would convey the message among themselves, to their friends, family members, and their bosses and other Chinese government officials. They should all be aware of the announcement. For those who have done bad deeds, in particular, this is an opportunity for them to abandon their evil path and choose to be good."

Cheng Fa also said, "From now on, if someone still continues to commit crimes and persecute Falun Gong, he will be sued once he leaves China. On the other hand, people around the world have gotten to understand the truth more and more. The persecution of Falun Gong must be stopped. If someone continues to persecute Falun Gong, he will eventually be brought to justice."

A French lady who signed the petition to support Falun Gong and call for an end to the persecution said, "I just retired and I have a big problem with my health. I want to learn the exercises (of Falun Gong) and get more information." In response to the Chinese communist regime's persecution of Falun Gong, the lady said, "No matter where we are, we should respect human rights."

Another French lady said after signing the petition, "I signed my name here because it is really important. Freedoms of speech and belief should be valued. I really support freedoms of religion and thinking and we should help people from all over the world know about these."

A Chinese gentleman stayed at the event venue for quite a long time after a practitioner handed him a copy of the Falun Dafa Association announcement. When a practitioner asked him whether he was aware of the persecution of Falun Gong in China, he said that he knew about it and that it was initiated by Jiang Zemin.

When the event was about to conclude, a western Falun Gong practitioner put a copy of the Falun Dafa Association announcement into the Chinese Consulate's mail box and sincerely wished that those Consulate staff members would be able to read the announcement.
