(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners went to Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II, a park near Chinatown in Rome on February 27, 2021, to promote the practice and expose the brutal persecution of Falun Dafa by the Communist Party in China. 

Falun Dafa practitioners in Rome promote the practice and expose the persecution of Falun Dafa in China

Two on-duty policemen welcomed practitioners who arrived at the site at the approved time. The officers had assisted practitioners during similar events in the past and already knew about the persecution. 

A practitioner told the officers that the persecution has continued in China during the Wuhan virus pandemic and several thousand practitioners have been arrested over the past year. The practitioner also told the police about a recent report which said a hospital in China could find matching organs for lung transplants in just a few days. The extremely short waiting times suggests that the hospital was involved in harvesting organs from living people.

The two policemen understood the practitioners’ concerns and expressed their hopes that the persecution would end soon.

Some practitioners passed out fliers and talked to passersby while other practitioners demonstrated the exercises. Many people watched the demonstration and chatted with practitioners. 

A woman was shocked and very sad after hearing about the forced organ harvesting from living Falun Dafa practitioners in China. She pointed to the sky and said, “We must have faith in Heaven.”

A man learned the exercises during the activities and said he immediately felt comfortable and peaceful. He wanted to donate some money to practitioners. A practitioner explained to him that Falun Dafa is free to learn and he didn’t need to donate money. 

Another person commented, “There are no morals in society any more. Such a spiritual practice is needed.” The man took some Falun Dafa introductory materials and said he wanted to read Zhuan Falun.

An Italian artist said the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has power but no morals, and it has destroyed the Chinese people’s traditional culture and universal values. “I know Falun Dafa practitioners are a group of kind people. I am very happy about that because the world needs more kind people,” he said.

The artist was pleased that the Italian Parliament had taken action about the CCP’s forced organ harvesting crimes and wished practitioners and their families a beautiful future.
