Spanish Practitioners Rally at the Chinese Embassy to Commemorate April 25th Appeal (Photos)

May 1, 2007 |   By a Spanish practitioner

(Clearwisdom.net) The eighth anniversary of the "April 25th Appeal" has just passed. On this day eight years ago, over 10,000 Falun Gong practitioners peacefully appealed to the Chinese State Council's Appeal Office in Beijing, requesting the Chinese Communist government to release the practitioners who were illegally arrested in Tianjin City and to allow practitioners who cultivate themselves according to the principles of "Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance" to practice the Falun Gong exercises in public places. After the then premier talked to representatives of the Falun Gong practitioners and the issues were solved smoothly, the practitioners dispersed peacefully.

That was the very first time for Falun Gong practitioners to stage a large-scale appeal against the persecution with peaceful and upright means. During the entire process, practitioners' peacefulness, rationality, trustworthiness, strict self-restraint, and high social morality astonished the whole world, and their earnestness, compassion, and tolerance also left a shinning page in human history. Out of jealousy, however, Jiang Zemin, the then ruler, launched the inhuman persecution against Falun Gong practitioners three months later. He took advantage of all the state-controlled media to launch an overwhelming campaign of slander against Falun Gong and employed the entire national machinery to proceed with this long-lasting persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. This inhuman persecution has been going on for eight years. During this time, practitioners around the globe have staged peaceful protests with great compassion and tolerance. Eight years later, not only is Falun Gong not defeated, but it is acclaimed all over the world. In the meantime, the Chinese Communist regime's inhuman atrocities have been entirely exposed to the whole world.

Spanish Falun Gong practitioners staged a peaceful protest at the Chinese Embassy in Spain to commemorate the eighth anniversary of the "April 25 Appeal." In front of the Chinese Embassy, practitioners displayed various display boards and banners exposing the Chinese Communist regime's cruel persecution of Falun Gong and its practitioners. The flower wreath in the middle was to commemorate the Chinese practitioners persecuted to death by the Chinese Communist regime for being steadfast in the universal principles. The banners read: "Condemn the CCP's atrocities of genocide, harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners, and eliminating the evidence by cremating their bodies in forced labor camps," "Stop persecuting Falun Gong," and "Support the 20 million people who have withdrawn from the CCP."
