(Minghui.org) Falun Gong practitioners set up a signature-collection site at Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park in Japan. They introduced Falun Gong to tourists from across the world and raised awareness about the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution and its state-sanctioned forced organ harvesting. They called for an end to the CCP’s human rights abuses. People from Japan and abroad signed the petition this year.

Visitor Touched
Momoi (Minghui.org)
Momoi signed the petition during a previous event. He went to the park and talked with practitioners again. He said he was deeply touched. “After I talked with practitioners and signed the petition, I felt inspired. It was a memorable day, and I felt as though some force guided me,” he said.
He added that he browsed websites after he signed the petition and learned that Falun Gong practitioners continued to peacefully protest despite the brutal persecution. He said this was admirable. He also learned that practitioners follow Zhuan Falun’s teachings and are tolerant of others when conflicts arise.
“In my youth, I was unrestrained, frequently causing my mother to worry. I now deeply regret having given her so much trouble. Furthermore, there have been people in my life whom I could not forgive. But looking back now, I realize that I ought to forgive everyone I once found unforgivable,” he said.
Calling for an End to the Persecution

Patricia from France said after reading a flyer, “The CCP does such things, so cruel.” She and her family signed the petition. She said, “What you do is outstanding.”
Michael and Katya (Minghui.org)
Michael from New York and Katya from Russia also expressed their concern. Michael said, “Everyone should have freedom and human rights. Hearing about the persecution, I feel sad.” He signed the petition.
Katya said, “The actions taken by a country and the people who live there are two different things.” She took out a traditional Russian craft pendant and presented it to a practitioner. The practitioner gave them origami lotus flowers.
A Major Issue That Concerns All of Humanity
Danbara (Minghui.org)
Danbara signed the petition several months ago and talked about the forced organ harvesting. “I heard about this issue a long time ago. But media outlets have not reported it. Some people talked about it from the standpoint of protesting the CCP. But I don’t think of it in that way. This is a human rights issue that targets human beings. It is a matter of life and death,” he said.
He continued, “If this issue is not exposed to the public and if the situation cannot be clearly defined in terms of right and wrong but continues to this day, it constitutes a genuine human rights catastrophe, a grave issue that the United Nations and the Human Rights Council must address with the utmost seriousness. For this is nothing less than a mass slaughter carried out under the guise of medical care.”
He said that he participated in the establishment of the National Human Rights Institution (NHRI) in Japan. “Conducting grassroots outreach to inform more people of the issue is of great importance. Establishing NHRI is vital for halting the genocidal practice of forced organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners and Uyghurs. Human rights issues transcend nationality and religion. It is essential to ensure that voices are heard through channels such as NHRI and the UN Human Rights Council, and that these concerns are communicated to global media outlets and voters in various countries,” he said.
