Switzerland: "How Can They Treat People this Way for Wanting to Be Good Persons?" (Photos)
(Clearwisdom.net) "It's really unbelievable, but I believe it is true," a middle-aged woman said after listening to details about the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) crime of harvesting living Falun Gong practitioners' organs. "How can they treat people this way for wanting to be good persons? It's really shocking. Do you go to other countries, letting more people know the truth?"
A practitioner told her that there are eighty countries around the world where people practice Falun Gong and hold events to raise awareness about the CCP's human rights abuses against Falun Gong practitioners. "We should let more people know the truth; I will tell this to my friends as well." The woman took leaflets and left after signing the anti-persecution petition.

On June 17th 2006, in Zurich's town center Parade Square, Falun Gong practitioners held an information day. Demonstrations of the five sets of gentle and peaceful exercises attracted many people to stop and look. Along with the exercise demonstration, pictures of the persecution were displayed and a striking banner read: "The CCP harvests living Falun Gong Practitioners' Organs." Many people took leaflets and some signed the petition to show their support for Falun Gong practitioners by calling for an end to the persecution.

Practitioners talked with passers-by about their experiences in practicing Falun Gong: how they have learned to be good people by acting according to the principle of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance." They have become more considerate of others and have a much more peaceful disposition. Some practitioners used to be plagued by illnesses for a long time. After practicing for only a short period, all their illnesses were gone.
When talking about the reason for the CCP persecuting Falun Gong, practitioners especially recommended a series of commentaries from The Epoch Times newspaper, the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party. The Nine Commentaries reveals the CCP's true evil nature. The fifth commentary has clearly analyzed how the CCP and Jiang Zemin colluded to persecute Falun Gong. There are already 11 million Chinese people who have withdrawn from the CCP and its related organizations after the Nine Commentaries come out a year and a half ago.
A Western practitioner met a group of Chinese tourists by chance on the Zurich riverside. They looked at his T-shirt which was printed with big Chinese words, "Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance" and "Falun Dafa is Great." They were more surprised when the practitioner said, "Hello, Falun Dafa is good!" in Chinese. Many of them started to talk about Falun Gong and some were willing to take the informational materials to read.
Two days later, Falun Gong practitioners held an information day in the Swiss tourist town of Lucerne. A young man talked with practitioners for an hour and asked many questions about practicing Falun Gong. Practitioners were told that he had received the information before but still had many questions. This time, he met with Falun Gong practitioners again, and all his questions were answered.
