(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners in the Netherlands held a popular information day event in Leiden on Saturday, June 28, 2025.

Practitioners clarify the truth in Haarlemmerstraat in the center of Leiden.

Leiden, which is located in Zuidland, is home to Leiden University, the oldest university in the Netherlands with an excellent international reputation.

In Haarlemmerstraat in the center of Leiden, practitioners set up two display boards that read “Falun Dafa around the World” and “Enduring Untold Suffering and Calling for Justice and Conscience.”

They also demonstrated the Falun Dafa exercises, distributed flyers, and talked to passersby about the practice. An immigrant from China said, “Falun Dafa is really great. It still stands tall and firm despite the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) suppression for so many years!”

Geographic Information Systems Engineer: “The Principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance Should Be Spread All Over the World!”

Danny Marks is a geographic information systems engineer. He knew something about the human rights situation in China and said he was opposed to the Chinese regime’s suppression of the Tibetans, the Xinjiang people, and Falun Dafa practitioners. He said that he was Jewish and recalled how the Jews were persecuted by the Nazis, so he knew only too well the value of freedom.

“I object to the atrocity of harvesting Falun Dafa practitioners’ organs while they are still alive. I think that Falun Dafa is an ancient cultivation way that originated in China. It helps people to relieve pressure and anxiety. Since cultivating it in China is so dangerous, its principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance principles should be spread all over the world.”

“G7 Countries Should Unite Together to Stop this Evil Crime [Forced Organ Harvesting]”

Sandra Kerstens is a former account manager. She thinks that the ongoing persecution of Falun Dafa in China is horrible, so she signed the petition to support Falun Dafa’s call to end the persecution.

She said, “Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance are very good. Sincerity is the beginning of peace. If everyone could abide by Falun Dafa’s principles, the world would become more peaceful. What you are doing is very important. It reminds the public to take note of these matters. I hope that the G7 countries can unite and oppose this crime together. I wish you all success!”

“You Are Doing a Good Deed!”

When communication consultant, Ms. M. Shakman and her husband Mr. H. Jechuel stopped to sign the petition, they expressed outrage at the CCP’s state-sanctioned forced organ harvesting.

Mr. Jechuel said, “Whatever the color of people’s skin or their appearance, they should all enjoy freedom. Although the definition of freedom is different, in a communist totalitarian country, people have no freedom to make their own decisions.” Ms. Shakman said, “Harvesting people’s organs while they are alive and trafficking the organs harms people. It must be stopped!”

She also said, “Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance are very good. You [who are spreading these values] are doing a good deed.”

“Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance Are Principles We Should Abide by Throughout Our Lives”

Montee Saura is a nurse who works at a health care institution. She said, “In a communist totalitarian country, there is no freedom of speech or thought. People must abide by the rules of the Communist Party. If your thoughts are different, you will face [horrible] consequences. I think that this is what is happening here [with Falun Dafa in China].”

“Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance very good. I think that these are the principles that we should abide by throughout our lives.”

Montee Saura objects to the CCP’s persecution of Falun Dafa.
