(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners in Indonesia organized various activities July 15-16, 2023, so that more people can learn about the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution of Falun Dafa, which has been ongoing for 24 years. These activities earned the support of the Indonesian people and they called for the CCP to immediately end the persecution and suppression of Falun Dafa and practitioners.
According to the Falun Dafa Information Center, retired professor, Ms. An Fuzi died on May 22, 2023, in the Jilin Provincial Women’s Prison two years after she was detained. This is just one of the most recent cases on record. The number of Falun Dafa practitioners who have died due to the persecution by the CCP has already exceeded 5,000 people and this figure is just the tip of the iceberg of the actual number of victims.
