As the International Bar Convention continued in Auckland, New Zealand on October 25, 2004, Falun Gong practitioners in New Zealand conducted anti-torture exhibitions to clarify the truth to people in the city center for several days.

New Zealand girl weeps

Two girls came to look at our display boards about torture methods used against Falun Gong practitioners in China. They were silent when they were reading the board. Then they came to me. One of them wept, "It's truly horrific! How can they be so cruel?" She asked me sincerely what she could do to help us and signed our petition. I told her, "Share the information with your friends. The more people that know the true situation, the earlier we'll be able to bring an end to the persecution." She nodded with tears in her eyes. She didn't want to leave. She looked at the photos of the torture exhibit with tears covering her face.

"Only demons could do such a thing!"

A lady saw our anti-torture exhibit re-enacted by live actors. She immediately put her hands on her head and yelled out, "My God! Only demons could do such a thing! Where is the brotherhood of mankind?" After learning the truth and as she was leaving, she kept saying, "Only demons could do such a thing!"

"Now I understand"

A Chinese girl accepted our handouts. I asked her whether she knew how serious the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China really was. She said she'd heard a little bit, but she didn't know it was so severe. She said these photos didn't look like they were fabricated. She told me, "As a Chinese, I feel ashamed when I see these photos."

I asked her, "Do you think those who initiated the persecution bring shame to our country or do you consider those who stand up to say 'no' to the persecution bring shame to China?" She didn't say a word. I then said, "Do you know, after Hitler died, the German people were very happy because that was the end of a catastrophe." She nodded her head, "Now I understand. Thank you!"

"I was here yesterday"

A young New Zealander came to me in a rush and said, "I was here yesterday. I learned everything." Then he led his friends to look at the display boards and anti-torture exhibit re-enacted by live actors. He acted as a guide, explaining the situation to his friends and they looked through the entire exhibit several times.
