(Clearwisdom.net) On July 2, German newspaper
BuerscheZeitun published an article titled "Falun Gong protest to call for
attention to human rights in China." The article reported on a Falun Gong
parade held in Gelsenkirchen where a World Cup quarterfinal game was held.
The article included a quarter-page photo of a practitioner
in white clothes holding a framed photo of a Chinese practitioner who died as a
result of persecution by the Chinese Communist Party.
The young lady carrying the photo in the parade was herself
illegally detained in China for 4 years for her belief in Falun Gong. She has a
degree in finance and trade and was detained in Shanghai. She said: "The
Shanghai detention center where I was detained used very vicious way to
persecute practitioners. On the surface, they never physically tortured
practitioners and guards appeared to be friendly. However, they often put just
one practitioner in one brigade and arrange more than 10 inmates to control the
practitioner. Though they didn't punish practitioners, they punish the inmates
who were monitoring practitioners when the latter refused to denounce Falun
Gong. The pressure is that practitioners would bring trouble to others if they
persist in practicing Falun Gong. Through such a vicious strategy, they tempted
to instigate hatred among inmates against practitioners."
The report said that Falun Gong has become well-known
worldwide since the persecution started in China and more and more people have
come to practice the exercises. The report said that near 100 supporters of
Falun Gong participated in the parade, and did so to help more people learn
about the persecution.
Westdeutsche AllgemeineZeitun (another German newspaper) also
reported on this parade.
