(Minghui.org) Outside of Birmingham’s International Convention Center, Falun Gong practitioners held various activities on October 3 and 4 to raise awareness about state-sanctioned organ harvesting atrocities in China. Those killed for their organs are prisoners of conscience, most of whom practice Falun Gong.
The Conservative Party was holding a conference inside at the same time. Many passersby learned more about the persecution of Falun Gong in China and signed petitions calling for an end to organ harvesting atrocities.

Rebecca Sheen says that everyone should do something about the persecution.

They should help more people learn about the persecution because for a very long time people didn't know what Hitler did to the Jewish people. Only by exposing these crimes can they be brought to an end.
