Germany: Falun Gong Practitioners Support Quitting the CCP on the Eve of Human Rights Day

“Maybe you are a good person. You have not done anything wrong. But since you are a member of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), the CCP would use your name to do evil. You, therefore, have a share in all of the bad things it did. You’d better hurry up and quit. Don’t be a scapegoat of the CCP anymore. You can use any alias to quit.” A Falun Gong practitioner urged a young Chinese man to quit the Communist Youth League. The young man smiled, walked up to the stand and signed the declaration, “Hope from Fujian renounces the Youth League.”

On December 9th, 2006, on the eve of World’s Human Rights Day, Falun Gong practitioners from Munich and surrounding areas in Germany held activities at Odeonsplatz to support sixteen million people quitting the CCP. It rained and snowed in the Munich area on the day of the activities. But the event went ahead as planned. In rain and snow, passers-by and tourists’ attention was attracted to large photo exhibitions exposing the CCP's atrocious persecution of Chinese people, banners describing the CCP organ harvesting from live Falun Gong practitioners, and information about sixteen million people quitting the CCP.

A large number of Italian tourists took leaflets. Some were stunned to hear about the CCP atrocities of organ harvesting from live Falun Gong practitioners. Some immediately signed the petition to stop the CCP's brutality. Taking a leaflet, a German woman told said that she was ashamed of not being informed about the situation. She would like to learn more details. She was very interested in the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party (an editorial published by The Epoch Times newspaper) the practitioner offered her. She promised to study it carefully later.

A German who signed the petition told the reporter that he could not stand this kind of thing (the CCP organ harvesting from live Falun Gong practitioners). As a European he had to take a stand to stop these kinds of acts. A lady standing by with the same surname as the current German President, Ms. Khler, agreed with the gentleman. Ms. Khler said, “I have been paying attention to this. During the Nazi era, similar kinds of things happened in Germany. Nazi doctors, even some professors, used live subjects in experiments for medicine, wounds, and surgical operations. The Jews, the disabled, and foreigners were all targets of their experiments. To me it is unacceptable behaviour to harvest organs from live persons under any excuse. I can not understand or accept this. That’s why I have to sign to stop it.”

When the event was over, the policeman on duty shook the freezing hands of the Falun Gong practitioner in charge, hoping they would warm up. The police said, “You’ve been working too hard.” Pointing to the banner with the CCP organ harvesting from live Falun Gong practitioners, practitioners told the police that this was nothing compared to what practitioners in China are going through. They offered the policeman the Canadians’ (David Matas and David Kilgour) investigative report and the German version of the Nine Commentaries on Communist Party. The officer promised to read it carefully later.
