Signature Drive at Herastrau Park

More than one hundred signatures were collected. Many people were shocked to learn of the atrocities committed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
A middle-aged woman told practitioners she had taken care of an elderly man who had come to sign this petition every year before he passed away at 92. He had taken a paper lotus from practitioners every year, and kept all of them. Even though he had difficulty walking, he continued to come to show his support.
