(Clearwisdom.net June 11, 2003) Germany's 2003 African Festival was held in W rzburg, a famous city located in the southern of the country. Many visitors came to attend this event from all over Germany. During these activities, Dafa practitioners collected signatures to appeal for the release of Xiong Wei, and European practitioners' relatives and friends who are illegally imprisoned in China. This is the first time that German practitioners have collected signatures to rescue their persecuted family members, and these signature collecting activities lasted four weeks.

After reading the information boards and talking with practitioners, many people immediately offered their support. Some said, "We will definitely help you!" One school teacher said that she will discuss the Jiang regime's persecution of Falun Gong in China more often with her students.

These signatures are to be given to the International Society for Human Rights, which is based in Germany. Practitioners will also convey the support they received from the German public to the government.
