(Minghui.org) Falun Gong practitioners held events on Human Rights Square in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France on July 24, 2016, to raise awareness of the ongoing persecution in China. They demonstrated the Falun Gong exercises, explained the facts about the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) persecution of Falun Gong (also known as Falun Dafa), and collected signatures calling for an end to the persecution.

Architect Tsouares Paul from Paris read the posters with Falun Gong information for quite a while, and signed the petition calling for an end to the persecution. Regarding China's state-sanctioned live organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners, he said, “This is inhumane killing of people, and is damaging basic morality.”
Regarding the brutal, ongoing persecution in China, he said in a worried tone, “People keep silent due to their economic interests. This is dangerous. I don't know what future is awaiting us. People must realize this point... Continue your fighting for freedom. Don't stop. Such fighting could be long. But in the end there will be a good result.”

Tourist Carine said, “I object to any form of persecution, which is violation of freedom. Regardless of the reason, no one should trade human organs. I support you with my whole heart to stop the persecution... You are doing a good job. Thank you. Be courageous and keep going!”
A group of French youths, who are conducting a summer project titled “seeking happiness” met with Falun Gong practitioners, who explained Falun Gong and the CCP's persecution. The youths agreed that the Communist Party is damaging human morality around the world. They signed the petition calling for an end to the persecution one after another. Each of them took a Falun Gong flyer before leaving.
