(Minghui.org) Practitioners held activities in Paris's Belleville and Châtelet neighborhoods on September 10 and 19, 2026. They introduced Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa, to the public and raised awareness of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution.

Passersby sign the petition which calls for the persecution to end.

People stopped and watched as practitioners demonstrated the exercises, and some wanted to learn them. Many signed the petition calling for an end to the CCP’s persecution after learning about the human rights abuses.

Valentin Leclair, a lumberjack from Charente-Maritime, lingered at the information site in Châtelet, watched practitioners demonstrate the exercises, and learned about Falun Gong. He said, “It is a wonderful practice with a history spanning a thousand years. Most importantly, we must not let it be lost; we have a responsibility to protect it and ensure it is passed on."

Regarding the CCP’s persecution, he said, “The current situation is dire, and we are facing a serious predicament. I hope the whole matter can be resolved properly and that everyone finds happiness. I realize things could get worse, but ultimately, I believe the most important thing is for people to live in harmony—whether with family or with others.”

Olivier is a reporter and knows the CCP’s history. He was appalled when he heard about the CCP’s persecution and state-sanctioned forced organ harvesting: “It is simply unimaginable! We must not forget what ethnic minorities facing persecution in China have endured.”

Zoé, a nursing student, said it was important to let more people know about the CCP’s persecution. She said, “This is a situation that every country should be aware of so that they can take preventive measures, ban such activities, and put a stop to them.”

Nadège Royer, who is a nurse, said, “We oppose any form of persecution. That is the case for me personally, and I imagine it is the case for everyone else as well—or at least, I hope so.” She said she previously did not know about the persecution, but she heard of organ trafficking. She said that she would learn more and pay attention to the issue.

Nora Bouza was indignant at the CCP’s brutal persecution and said, “This is inhuman. It cannot go on. We should unite and resist all such atrocities.” She said she worked in the medical and health care field: “We live in a crazy world. Such forced organ harvesting must stop!”
