In the event, the Canadian investigation team's "Report into Allegations of Organ Harvesting of Falun Gong Practitioners in China" was read. Videos of witnesses testifying about the CCP live organ removal and exposing the facts of the persecution were shown. A reenactment and dancing were performed to protest the CCP.

The host organization said that the sitting in protest continued until 9:30 p.m. There was a candlelight vigil and candlelight wall in the evening. They hoped via the event to tell every government, international organization, media, and people should not keep silent to the CCP atrocities.
