'Persecution Meets Principle' at Human Rights Day Event

NAPLES, Florida—United Nations Human Rights Day was marked in Naples, Fla., Dec. 9, with an exhibit sponsored by the Southeast U.S. Falun Dafa Association. Falun Gong (Falun Dafa) is a type of "qigong," a meditation and exercise practice from China that is based on the principles of Truth, Compassion, and Tolerance.

In 1999, after determining that as many as 100 million people in China were practicing Falun Gong, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) outlawed the practice and undertook to eliminate it through a systematic campaign of persecution and propaganda.

At the Naples event, a poster exhibit highlighted the regime's crimes against the Chinese people and the movement of quitting the CCP. To date, more than 16 million Chinese have publicly renounced their membership in CCP organizations.

A striking feature of the exhibit was a tableau illustrating the Chinese regime's use of Falun Gong prisoners of conscience as a source of live organs for sale. The organ harvesting atrocity is receiving international attention.
