(Clearwisdom.net) From February 1 to 3, 2007, the 3rd World Conference against the Death Penalty was held in Paris. It ended with a grand parade on the last day. In order to expose the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) brutal persecution of Falun Gong, practitioners from France, Belgium and the Netherlands participated in the parade. With a re-enactment performance, they exposed the CCP's atrocities of organ harvesting from live Falun Gong practitioners and the torture of practitioners, which drew attention from various media, meeting attendees and the local public. French TV2 showed the footage in its evening news.

Falun Gong practitioners displayed banners printed "Stop Organ Harvesting from Live Falun Gong Practitioners", "This Happens in China Every Day", "Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong". In their hands were exhibits that exposed the persecution and photos of those who had been persecuted to death, telling the world about the barbaric atrocities happening in China. Through a loudspeaker, practitioners broadcast details from the Matas & Kilgour Report into Allegations of Organ Harvesting of Falun Gong Practitioners in China. Many who heard the truth flocked to ask for more information. Numerous media and individuals took photos. Quite a few commented that this way of exposing the persecution, which brought out the crimes directly, was very effective. A mother and a daughter kept clapping to show encouragement while the Falun Gong procession was passing by. When the parade paused, many went close to read the exhibits carefully and said, "thank you" to practitioners. One French lad told his friends while listening to the loudspeaker, "Falun Gong never lies."
The chairperson of ACAT (Action des Chretiens pour l'Abolition de la Torture et des executions capitales) in France, Mme. Eleonore Morel, commented about the CCP's organ harvesting from live Falun Gong practitioners, "Such anti-human behaviour is too horrible to see."
Mme. Marie-Francois Lamperti, the Chairperson of ADH (Action Dignite Humaine), said, "China is the worst human rights violator in the world, including violations of the right to live. In China a large number of Falun Gong practitioners have been sentenced to prison. To expose these human rights violations is the reason why our association is here."
Tang Hanlong commented on behalf of Falun Gong Association, "The organs from Falun Gong practitioners account for 75% total organs harvested in China, which is alarming. The goal of our participation in this parade is to clarify the facts to the people in the world, to the media and to government agencies."
A Falun Gong practitioner from Belgium played a persecuted practitioner in the live anti-torture show. She said, "I hope more people could know that unparalleled evil in human history is happening in China right now. It just won't do if people do not know about or not to stop it. We are Falun Gong practitioners. Outside of China, we are free. But our fellow practitioners in China are subjected to live organ harvesting for profit. How could people know about this if we do not help them by telling people? It must not be allowed, it must be stopped. Our aim is to tell everyone that this is happening and must be put to a stop!"
