In order to help Falun Gong practitioners in China and to stop the persecution, Falun Gong practitioners outside of China held peaceful demonstrations in front of Chinese consulates every year. They condemned the CCP’s ongoing persecution and called on the governments of all countries and their citizens to help stop the persecution.

Falun Gong practitioners from Aichi and Mie counties went to the Chinese Consulate in Nagoya early in the morning to peacefully protest the ongoing persecution.

Mr. Xu asked for a leave of absence from his employer to attend the event. He said: “The main purpose of our visit to the Chinese Consulate is to ask the CCP to immediately stop its persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China. Now this persecution is still going on. Practitioners are detained, sentenced to prison, and even subjected to organ harvesting. This is intolerable. There are still so many Chinese people who don’t know that this is happening.”

He said: “Many Chinese people have been misled by the CCP’s lies. They cannot accept universal values, and the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. We hope that Chinese passers-by can learn about Falun Gong.”
