(Minghui.org) For 13 years, every year on April 25th, Falun Dafa practitioners in Bavaria, Germany have peacefully rallied in front of the Chinese Consulate in Munich to commemorate the “April 25 Grand Appeal” and protest the persecution in China.
On April 25 2013, Falun Dafa practitioners of Bavaria Germany peacefully rally in front of the Chinese Consulate in Munich
The rally was held in front of the Chinese Consulate in Munich again this year. Many passersby stopped to watch the exercise demonstration and read the display boards exposing the Chinese Communist Party's brutal persecution of Falun Gong. Many signed their names on the petition form condemning the Chinese Communist Party for harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners.
Mr. Berth talked to a Falun Dafa practitioner for a long time. He is an organist at a local church who happened to walk by the Chinese Consulate and see the rally. He read the display boards about live organ harvesting in China and said he absolutely believed such things happen in China. Mr. Berth said he had lived in China for three and a half years and noticed that many Chinese have no faith, worship money, pursue sexual liberation and are not loyal to family. He said that life there (in China) was dark. He feels that compassion is important and one must have compassion in one's heart to see the light in life. Mr. Berth wrote down his email address and asked the practitioner to notify him when there are any similar activities.
A German lady said she read a story about the Chinese Communist Party's live organ harvesting in Time magazine of Germany recently. She signed her name on the petition form condemning the Chinese Communist Party's live organ harvesting and took a few more flyers for her friends and family when she was leaving.
Mr. Chen from Beijing saw the “April 25 Grand Appeal” in 1999 with his own eyes. He saw the Tiananmen Massacre (June 4, 1989) too, where many students and civilians were shot by the army. “After the Tiananmen Massacre, Chinese people were so scared of the Communist Party, there weren't many people who dared to speak up to uphold justice and conscience.” Mr. Chen said, “On April 25 1999, I was outside Zhongnanhai. I was wondering if the Chinese Communist Party would launch another massacre. To my surprise, I saw thousands of Falun Gong practitioners standing there and they showed no trace of fear on their faces. Instead, I saw firmness, calm and kindness. I realized that China still had hope.”
