(Minghui.org) A Falun Dafa information day event was held in Zoetermeer on Saturday, July 5, 2025. It was one of the stops during Falun Dafa practitioners’ truth-clarification tour of the Netherlands. Many people expressed an interest in learning more about Falun Dafa.
Zoetermeer, the third largest city in the province of South Holland after The Hague and Rotterdam, is only 16 kilometers (10 miles) from The Hague, the political center of the Netherlands. Practitioners set up informational display boards, demonstrated the exercises, distributed flyers, and talked with passersby.
Falun Dafa information day in Zoetermeer on July 5
Many people signed the petition calling on the G7 countries to demand an end to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)’s live forced organ harvesting of Falun Dafa practitioners in China.
Ms. Xie, a Chinese immigrant, walked up to the booth and said loudly, “I support you, and I hope you share Falun Dafa with every city in the Netherlands. I know about the persecution that you face. I hate the CCP!” She signed the petition to the G7 countries (the United States, Japan, Germany, France, England, Italy, and Canada), asking them to call for an end to the CCP’s state-sanctioned forced organ harvesting of Falun Dafa practitioners.
When the police showed up at the Falun Dafa booth to do a routine check, Ms. Xie told them about Falun Dafa and practitioners’ peaceful efforts. After the event ended and the practitioners were leaving, they coincidentally ran into Ms. Xie again, and she remarked, “You have worked hard. Thank you!”
One man who stopped by the booth said, “I believe this [live organ harvesting] is true! I’m an organ transplant physician. At an international seminar I attended, a doctor from China said that organ transplant expertise in his country developed very quickly and that the wait time to get a matching organ in China is very short. That is impossible. I believe what you say is true, and I wish you success [in ending the persecution]!”
Ms. Rola Praag is a physiotherapist and her husband is a school dispatcher. They both said that stealing human organs is unforgivable behavior and is a crime.
Ms. Rola Praag and her husband support practitioners’ efforts to end the persecution.
Ms. Praag said, “As long as you do not hurt anyone, you should be protected and have the right to live a life according to your own will. I support you in your efforts to end the persecution!”
Ms. Ouexandra Schroder is a Reiki therapist. She said she saw Falun Dafa practitioners’ truth-clarification site near The Hague about ten years ago. She was very interested in the books Zhuan Falunand Falun Gong pictured on the display boards. She also asked if there was a practice site in Zoetermeer because she wanted to learn the exercises.
Ms. Ouexandra Schroder said that she wanted to help let people know about Falun Dafa.
She said, “Falun Dafa should not be forgotten or suppressed. The Chinese government should improve their human rights situation and not persecute Falun Dafa practitioners who abide by Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. Communism is wrong. People should have the freedom of belief.” She asked for informational materials in different languages, saying that she wanted to help distribute them so that more people could find out about Falun Dafa.
