(Clearwisdom.net) After calling upon the United Nations with a parade during the daytime, several hundred Falun Gong practitioners held a candlelight vigil on the evening of April 3, 2006 in front of the UN Commission of Human Rights to urge the international community to pay close attention to the persecution of Falun Gong by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and help stop it.

Since the CCP began to persecute Falun Gong in 1999, the persecution taking place in China has escalated every year. From illegal detention, beating, force feeding, and later long-term persecution and tortures including water dungeons, tiger bench, sticking bamboo under the fingernails, strait-jacket, and the death bed. Many women practitioners have been sexually abused. Recently several witnesses revealed that the CCP is harvesting organs from live Falun Gong practitionersin order to make huge profits, then cremating the corpses to destroy the evidence. This made people realize that the CCP's brutality in the persecution of Falun Gong has gone beyond most people's imagination.

The Falun Gong practitioners who came to Geneva to appeal to the United Nations to pay close attention to this matter and conduct an independent investigation included an 87-year old man who suffered greatly in a communist country, a mother with a several-month-old baby, a successful businessman from Italy, and a nun from Taiwan who saved her traveling expenses by walking instead of taking public transportation. Most people took time off from study or work, found the cheapest airline or train ticket and booked inexpensive hotel rooms in Geneva in order to express the heartfelt wish of "stopping the persecution immediately, and rescuing Falun Dafa practitioners."
In the view of Mr. Zhu from the Netherlands, the CCP has acted against human nature by harvesting organs from live Falun Gong practitioners. He believes there are still a lot of things, probably things more brutal still concealed. However, all of the CCP's vicious acts will be known to the world someday. Mr. Zhu hoped that through the diligent appeal by Falun Gong practitioners, more and more people will wake up from the deception of the CCP, see clearly the truth of the persecution of innocent Falun Gong, and join the anti-persecution effort.
