Nilkanth V. Hood, a senior advocate with Wardha’s District and Sessions Court, visited the booth and talked with the practitioners. He expressed his heartfelt support for Falun Dafa when he learned that the Chinese regime kills practitioners for their organs.
“The Chinese government’s forced removal of human organs from the bodies of living people is cruel and illegal. It is against humanity. All nations in the world should condemn these illegal activities,” he said.
