Czech Republic: Tour of Moravian Cities and Towns Exposes the Persecution in China (Photos)

Aug. 30, 2006 |   By a practitioner from Czech Republic

(Clearwisdom.net) From August 7-10, a group of Falun Gong practitioners organized a tour across Moravia to let people know of the ongoing terror of illegal organ harvesting in China. They visited the areas of Roznov pod Radhostem, Havirov, Frydek-Mistek and Sumperk. Everywhere they went, the practitioners displayed banners and posters about Falun Gong and the persecution, exposing the horrors of the persecution and the latest news about organs being taken from unwilling Falun Gong prisoners of conscience. They handed out fliers and talked to people, telling everyone about the petition addressed to the Czech Prime Minister and President.

The purpose of this petition is to request an immediate investigation into the allegations of organ harvesting in Chinese prisons, prison hospitals and labor camps, to be carried out by international organizations.

Most of the passersby were shocked upon seeing the information, and without any doubt they expressed sympathy for the persecuted practitioners. Many were horrified when reading the banners and some asked for detailed information and signed the petition to support Falun Gong. Many enjoyed watching the Falun Gong exercises and were interested in learning them, and some even bought Dafa books.

In some places, the practitioners had not even hung up the banners when people gathered around, wanting to sign the petition. In some cities there were lines of people eager to sign the petition. Throughout the tour, almost one thousand people signed the petition in support of the investigation.

The media were also interested in the current situation in China. In Roznov pod Radhostem, local cable TV reporters came by to make a live report, disregarding the heavy rain. This turned out to be a very attractive report. The reporters interviewed the practitioners, videotaped the beauty of the Falun Gong exercises and the contrasting banners showing the terror of the persecution. The report was transmitted that day in many regional towns. Through the news broadcast, the wider public came to know about the situation in China.

We would like to heartily thank the Moravian people for their benevolence and for their kind support of our effort to stop the persecution.
