France: Appealing for the Orphaned Children of Persecuted Falun Gong Practitioners on Universal Children's Day (Photos)

Nov. 26, 2005 |   By a French practitioner

(Clearwisdom.net) November 20th was the Universal Children's Day. In France, children were dressed up and went sightseeing with their parents. As one of the most famous tourist attractions, Paris attracted a lot of children from various areas that day. The entire city was full of children's pleasant laughter and all the people seemed to be engrossed in the cheerful atmosphere.

However, it is not true that children in every part of the world are so lucky. In China, due to the Chinese Communist regime's unlawful persecution against Falun Gong practitioners, countless innocent children have lost their parents or become destitute and homeless. Some of them even have lost their young lives in this inhuman persecution. To rescue these innocent children, the "Rescue Falun Gong Children Persecuted in China" campaign was staged at Paris' Human Rights Square.

With "Rescue Falun Gong Children" theme music playing, a host introduced Falun Gong and the persecution in China in English and French respectively. In the square, an anti-torture exhibition enacted by practitioners attracted the attention of many tourists. In the meantime, practitioners in yellow clothes demonstrated Falun Gong exercises in unison.

Children who came to sign the petition expressed their views while signing their names: "This suppression is indeed terrible!" "Those perpetrators are really evil!" "Your activities are really great!"

The parents who accompanied their children there were also deeply touched. A lady said sadly, "Seeing these, I am really distressed." When hearing that under the CCP's pressure, many schools don't dare to admit orphans of persecuted Falun Gong practitioners, some mothers were so dumbfounded that they could not utter a word for a long time. Finally they said, "Really incredible!" "Really despicable!" A gentleman simply used "shameless" to summary his opinion on the Chinese Communist regime. While people were enthusiastically rendering their support for justice, some came up with ideas of how to put an end to the persecution.

During the activities, various media interviewed practitioners and passersby.
