Czech Republic: Appeal to Stop the Persecution of Falun Gong at the Chinese Consulate in Prague

From July 20th 1999 until now, the persecution of Falun Gong, which was started by Jiang Zemin and the Chinese Communist Party, has lasted six years. These human rights abuses will never change Falun Gong practitioners’ belief in “Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance”. On the contrary, with the continuous efforts of the Falun Gong practitioners, more people have understood Falun Gong’s goodness and the Chinese Communist Party’s brutality during the last six years.

On July 20th 2005, Czech practitioners condemned the persecution of Falun Gong and revealed the truth to the public and the media at the Chinese Consulate

Candlelight vigil to commemorate those who lost their lives

The householders living in the villas which were recently built opposite the Consulate have come to understood the persecution facts. Therefore, they have happily provided facilities to allow the practitioners to hang up their banners. During the process of hanging up the banners, a photographer from the Czech TV Station also came and said, “The media is here to support you!” He filmed the torture exhibition pictures as well as the practitioners’ meditation.

Before 3 pm, many people came to the Consulate to get visas and to renew their passports. The practitioners used this period of time to hold a press conference and talk about Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Gao Rongrong, who was cruelly tortured to mutilation and was later killed. People listened carefully. One photographer from a Czech youth newspaper said, “I’m sorry that this kind of thing is happening. I hope your efforts will get results.”

Two girls aged seven and eight drew many pictures entitled “Falun Dafa is Great” at home. When a consulate officer came out, the younger girl happily passed one picture to this officer but he refused it rudely. However, she still put the picture into the consulate’s mailbox later on.

That night, the practitioners sat quietly during a candlelight vigil and sent forth righteous thoughts. We hope the righteous belief “Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance” can awaken these Chinese officers’ consciousness and thoughts.
