(Clearwisdom.net) On the afternoon of April 25, 2006, Finnish Falun Gong practitioners gathered in the Helsinki city center to commemorate the 7th anniversary of the "April 25" appeal, exposing the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP's) crimes of harvesting organs from live Falun Gong practitioners. They called on the public to help to stop this inhumane brutality. Practitioners strongly urged the opening up of all CCP labor camps, prisons, mental hospitals and other relevant hospitals for members of the Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong in China (CIPFG) to comprehensively and publicly investigate. At the same time, they supported the ten million courageous people who have withdrawn from the CCP and its related organizations.

Falun Gong practitioner Ms. Zhang said, "On April 25, 1999, the Prime Minister back then had appropriately dealt with the peaceful appeal of tens of thousands of Falun Gong practitioners. The peaceful settlement was highly praised by the international community. However, not long afterwards, the Chinese Communist regime, led by Jiang, started to persecute Falun Gong. Seven years later, the wicked Chinese Communist dictatorship's inhuman genocide against Falun Gong practitioners has only become more severe. Recently, there has been worldwide exposure of the CCP's concentration camps, where Falun Gong practitioners' organs have been removed while they are still alive, sold illegally and their remains cremated to destroy the evidence. People are astonished at such a crime, so cruel that it is beyond imagination. Nevertheless, seven years later, when Falun Dafa is spread widely in over 78 countries around the world and the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party has triggered off the huge tide of Chinese people quitting the CCP, the head villain Jiang's daydream of 'eradicating Falun Gong within three months' has sent himself and the Chinese Communist tyranny onto the historical court of justice."

The majority of people passing by received truth-clarification materials. Many people were shocked at the CCP's atrocities, and expressed their support for Falun Gong practitioners by signing the petition. Some people patted practitioners on their backs and praised their good deeds.

After listening to a practitioner's explanation, one woman said she hoped that more and more people could know about this. She said she had a friend who worked as a journalist in a newspaper, and that she would tell her about this and ask her to write a report.

After learning the truth, a Christian man pressed his hands together in the Heshi gesture (a sign of respect), expressing his gratitude to practitioners and wishing them good luck.

A gentleman wearing a hat passed by. He took off his hat and bowed deeply, then left after saying thank you.

When the activity ended, two practitioners took a bus home and openly talked about their experiences and feelings on that day. A gentleman on the bus looked at the display boards while hearing the practitioners' conversation. A practitioner told him that it was about the CCP's criminal history. The gentleman said that he already knew about it. The practitioners asked him whether he knew about Falun Gong practitioners being detained in death camps in China. Unexpectedly, the man said that already knew about it as well. He expressed his anger and resentment towards the CCP's inhumane violence. He said he hoped that the world would condemn and protest the CCP together, and not betray justice in the face of money. While he talked, he seemed very emotional, until the bus arrived at the practitioners' stop, where he finally bid them farewell politely, with tears in his eyes.
