The Countless Crimes of the CCP in the Persecution
Over the past 23 years in China, millions of Falun Dafa practitioners were arrested, tortured, and poisoned by unknown drugs, and even subjected to organ harvesting. The persecution is widespread and has targeted people from all walks of life including civil servants and those from the scientific community.
Multiple Falun Dafa practitioners who now live in Denmark and Sweden were persecuted in China. During the rally, they recounted their personal experiences, condemned the CCP’s tyranny, and called on the public to help stop the persecution.

Ms. Yanyan, who now lives in Sweden, suffered from multiple liver cysts. After practicing Falun Dafa, she quickly recovered. She explained that hers is one of countless examples among Falun Dafa practitioners. She feels that what is even more important is that everyone’s character improved. However, they were persecuted by the CCP because they practice Falun Dafa.
She addressed the rally and said, “Because my friend Jing Qin practiced Falun Dafa, she was illegally sentenced to four years in prison. She was subjected to various forms of torture. When she was released from prison, she could barely take care of herself. She died in 2007.”
Practitioner Chen Man lives in Denmark
Ms. Chen Man, who now lives in Denmark, was arrested in 2008 and sentenced to seven years in prison for her belief. She said, “The severe mental ordeal I experienced is indescribable. I was not allowed to see my relatives, write letters or call them because I refused to give up my belief. Inmates were not allowed to speak to me or they would be severely punished.”
“The Communist Party Is the Devil”
A woman from Germany listens to a practitioner’s explanation.
A woman from Germany stopped to watch practitioners as they did the exercises and she said it made her feel calm and peaceful. After reading the banners, she asked, “Why is such a good practice persecuted in China?”
A practitioner explained that Falun Dafa is based on the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. Practitioners strive to be good people and improve their physical and mental health by following these principles and practicing the exercises. The CCP controls people through lies and violence. Those who agree with Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance can easily recognize the true nature of the CCP, so the CCP wants to eradicate Falun Dafa.
The woman said, “This is terrible. The CCP is the devil. Although the CCP looks powerful and violent, we can’t let it succeed. You must persevere.”
Justice May Be Late But Not Lost
A Danish woman watched the re-enactment of the CCP’s torture for quite a while. She said she saw a TV report about the CCP’s organ harvesting from living Falun Dafa practitioners on the Danish TV station DR2.
She said, “The harvesting of human organs from living people is such a serious human rights violation. Why are so many governments in the world turning a blind eye? Many governments are afraid of losing their economic interests. Between interests and morality, if people choose interests, the consequences will be terrible.”
She said, “Justice may be late, but it will certainly not be lost.”
A Danish man talks with a practitioner.
A tall, middle-aged Danish man said he knew about the human rights situation in China. He felt that practitioners’ activities were good, but he was not sure how effective they would be. Many governments turn a blind eye to human rights issues because of their economic interests. He wondered if they would change.
The practitioner told him that since 1999, the CCP has persecuted Falun Gong for 23 years, and the persecution is still going on. She said practitioners hold many events every year to keep telling people the facts about the serious human rights abuses in China. Although the persecution is still going on, practitioners believe that if more and more people know the truth, they will work with us to stop it.
The practitioner said, “We believe that justice will eventually prevail. So, as people who have heard the truth, what should they do in the face of such a thing, isn’t that their own choice?”
The man suddenly realized and said, “Oh, that’s the way it is! Facing evil, one chooses to stop it, or be fearful and condone it. Everyone’s attitude affects the future direction of society.”
He hugged the practitioner and said he appreciated her.
After learning about the persecution, many people said that they could do something to help stop it. They signed the petition calling for an end to the CCP’s brutality.
Background: What Is Falun Dafa and Why Is the CCP Persecuting It?
Falun Dafa (also known as Falun Gong) was first introduced to the public by Mr. Li Hongzhi in Changchun, China, in 1992. The spiritual discipline is now practiced in over 100 countries and regions worldwide. Millions of people who have embraced the teachings, which are based on the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, and have learned the five exercises, have experienced improved health and well-being.
Jiang Zemin, former head of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), perceived the spiritual discipline’s growing popularity as a threat to the CCP’s atheistic ideology and on July 20, 1999, he issued an order to eradicate the practice.
Under Jiang’s personal direction, the CCP established the 610 Office, an extralegal security organization with the power to override the police and judicial systems and whose sole function is to carry out the persecution of Falun Dafa.
Minghui.org has confirmed the deaths of thousands of practitioners as a result of the persecution over the past 23 years. The actual number is believed to be much higher. Countless practitioners have been imprisoned and tortured for their faith.
There is concrete evidence that the CCP sanctions the harvesting of organs from detained practitioners, who are murdered to supply China’s organ transplant industry.
