I hope Chinese people can set be free from the persecution."

Sumardika from Bali Island said, "When I learned that so many people have been persecuted in China, I was stunned. My conscience said it (the persecution) is inhuman. I know the Communist Party is evil. The principles of Truth-Compassion-Forbearance are consistent with my views (of being a human being). "

Large banners were erected on the streets, conveying messages to passersby:

"In China, the CCP murdered while harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners, and sold the organs to patients who came to China for organ transplants,"

"Ten-year brutal persecution, Falun Gong practitioners around the world have still remained steadfast and firm, because the righteous prevail,"

"Stop the ten-year persecution of Falun Gong practitioners,"

"Truth-Compassion-Forbearance improve one's health both physically and mentally."

Coordinator of the activities in Jakarta said that they wanted to take this opportunity to appeal to the Indonesian government to support the noble cause of "stopping the CCP's persecution," and condemn the CCP's persecution of Chinese people. Falun Gong takes Truth-Compassion-Forbearance as its guiding principles, but the CCP has slandered and defamed Falun Gong over the past ten years. Such an act of violating human rights can't be tolerated. All people of justice from around the world should join the effort to end the persecution.

He continued by saying that Falun Gong practitioners have peacefully remained steadfast in their belief. Under severe persecution, they clarified the facts, cultivated themselves well, and treated everybody with kindness. Falun Gong practitioners do not have a political agenda, they only seek to have an unrestrained environment to practice. While clarifying the facts, they have continually inspired people's conscience, so that those people could choose to support justice and see clearly and reject the evil.

A passerby told a practitioner that he often saw Falun Gong practitioners doing the sitting meditation in front of the Chinese Embassy. He saw their facial expressions were peaceful, without hatred, and full of determination.

Falun Gong practitioners in Surabaya City, Eastern Indonesia lit candles at dusk in front of the Chinese Consulate to mourn practitioners who have been arrested, grossly abused and tortured to death for remaining steadfast in their belief over the past ten years. Such a genocidal crime is still going on.
