(Clearwisdom.net) When an international computer exhibition was held in Altstadt, Hannover, Falun Gong practitioners took the opportunity to hold an activity to raise awareness about Falun Gong and the persecution taking place in China.

People surround Falun Gong practitioners' information desk to find out more

The activity took place on March 17, 2007. Falun Gong practitioners distributed materials in various languages to help people understand what Falun Gong is, and how it has spread to all corners of the world. Passersby happily accepted fliers and many looked at the photograph displays around the information desk. These pictures depicted the persecution in China. In one picture a woman being held at a labor camp held a hunger strike to protest her unlawful detention, and was subjected to forced feeding afterwards. A large tube was used to force-feed her, sometimes with salt water, or very dirty water. Tubes like the one used on this practitioner have occasionally pierced the trachea, resulting in the deaths of many Falun Gong practitioners.

In a painting, a policeman was beating a Falun Gong practitioner. The practitioner's child had a look which seemed to say, "Why do you beat my mother and me?" Several Falun Gong practitioners who are artists have depicted the brutal persecution against Falun Gong with their artworks. These paintings drew onlookers to pause and find out more.

There was a small exhibition with the theme, "How are the Organs of Falun Gong Practitioners Harvested by the Chinese Communist Party?" A loudspeaker broadcast a recording detailing the entire process, which shocked the majority of listeners. Many people expressed a wish to do something to end this persecution, such as the signing their names to an appeal letter to the German government. To understand more, some visitors talked directly with a Falun Gong practitioner who had been detained in a Chinese labor camp for two years.

At the back of the information desk, a Falun Gong practitioner squatted in the cage to re-enact the actual inhuman treatment of Chinese Falun Gong practitioners in labor camps. These scenes have been presented in many cities throughout the world, including Germany, and have touched the hearts of the people. Some passersby took organ harvesting investigation reports by the two independent investigators, David Kilgour and David Matas. Some passersby also left their contact details in the hope of learning the Falun Gong practice. Several students planned to use these truth clarifying materials to do reports about China. One man was willing to post all of the information on his personal website after fully understanding the issue.

An older man from China took materials with a smile and said, "I will read them all."

An eighteen year old student came over to the information desk and said, "You are great. I have seen this kind of information desk before. I understand what is happening. You are doing a marvelous job."

Three women who study pharmacology carefully listened to the information about the persecution in China in the hopes of learning more of the truth. One of the Falun Gong practitioners lived in the same city as theirs. These women were interested in learning Falun Gong and reading the book, Zhuan Falun, and said they would put leaflets in their clinic.

On this day, several hundred soccer fans headed for the soccer field to watch Hannover challenge Hamburg and passed by the Falun Gong information exhibition. They stood beside Falun Gong practitioners to take photos for fun since this scene was a rare sight for them. The Falun Gong practitioner seriously said, "We set up this information desk for people to learn about the persecution in China. It is quite solemn." He introduced Falun Gong's health benefits and the suffering of Falun Gong practitioners in China. The fans then became silent, and they began to understand what is happening in China.

A young man from the UK stayed nearby for nearly half an hour hoping to learn more details. He originally thought that human rights had improved in China, but he heard for the first time of the actual situation there. He read words and pictures about the persecution, then about Falun Gong practitioners' beliefs. A practitioner chatted with him until eventually, the man smiled in agreement and said farewell.
