Denmark: Public Condemns 23-Year-Long Persecution During Peaceful Protest at Chinese Embassy

(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners held an event on July 20, 2022 in front of Denmark’s Chinese Embassy to expose the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) 23-year-long persecution of the spiritual practice.

Calling on People’s Conscience

Practitioners held a peaceful “July 20” rally in front of the Chinese Embassy.

Ms. Man Chen, who was incarcerated for seven years for her faith in Falun Dafa while she was in China, said, “So many practitioners have been persecuted to death in these 23 years, yet justice has not been served. The persecutors and the persecuted may have been close neighbors or distant relatives in the past, or once fellow students and colleagues.”

“I was illegally arrested a few times—from home, and from my workplace. The last time I was sentenced to seven years of imprisonment. Within one month I learned that my mother who was overcome with worry and grief, passed away.”

Ms. Xuezhen Bao, who was imprisoned for three and a half years, said, “I was one of tens of thousands of practitioners persecuted. Due to upholding Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, I was subjected to all kinds of torture. I was made to sit on a small stool for a long time, and not allowed to use a washroom or take a shower. At one point I was about to have my organs harvested. This evil act is unprecedented in the world.”

Mr. Jianzhi Chen said, “My family and I have experienced the brutal persecution of the CCP first-hand. This persecution by the CCP has affected everyone, i.e. in performance reviews of officials, profits of enterprises, income of individuals, and even students’ grades are all tied to the persecution of Falun Dafa. Faced with that kind of pressure, people chose self-interest, remaining silent, and obedience. Thus, their moral conscience is taken away little by little.”

Just People Support Falun Dafa

Mr. Chen Yangchao, a member of the International Writers’ Center’s 1984 World Writers in Prison Committee and author of the Theory of Privilege, said, “It’s especially remarkable that even when many outstanding practitioners were suppressed and persecuted by the CCP and died, Mr. Li Hongzhi (Falun Dafa’s founder) has always asked practitioners to adhere to the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, and to remain peaceful and rational while exposing the persecution and clarifying the facts to people.”

Mr. Yang Guang, a democrat, condemned the CCP for persecuting Falun Dafa, “The CCP is a rogue regime that practices state terrorism and has persecuted people who practice Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, in the most brutal way, which is outrageous!”

“A large number of practitioners have been imprisoned and tortured. Those who do not give up their practice have even had their organs harvested while they are alive. The number of practitioners who have died as a result of persecution by the CCP is massive. Live organ harvesting has formed a huge, high-profit industry, and forced a large number of medical employees into a syndicate of co-conspirators.”

Their efforts over the years have helped make more and more people understand what kind of people Falun Dafa practitioners are and see the true nature of the CCP. In the face of this unprecedented persecution, whether one speaks out for justice and chooses morality, or remains silent and condones evil, determines one’s future.
