(Clearwisdom.net) On March 31, 2007, when resignations from the CCP exceeded 20 million, Westerners who support human rights in China, the Service Center for Quitting the CCP, and Falun Gong practitioners gathered at the Helsinki Railway Station to hold one of a series of activities on the theme: “The Roots of the Evil CCP Have Been Pulled Out.” They displayed pictures to show the CCP’s crimes of persecution of innocent Chinese people since it took power in China, especially its cruel persecution of Falun Gong practitioners since July 1999. They tried to tell people that heaven is eliminating the CCP and that only by quitting the CCP can one save oneself. At the gathering, posters urging, “Quit the CCP” in different languages could be seen, sending the message that Western society would also have bright future if it abandons the evil communist influence.

At the gathering, four speakers exposed the CCP’s crimes from different angles.
The first speaker was Ms. Sarah Lu, a practitioner recently arrived from China. She said of her own experience: “Since I did not give up my belief I was forced to lose a good job as an export manager in a big company, and I was arrested four times and imprisoned in detention centers and a labor camp for over two years. In the labor camp I was tortured. I was put in a confined cell, shocked with electric batons, cruelly beaten, hung up on the windows, made to sit in a metal chair 15 hours a day for two months, cruelly force fed, subjected to high decibel noise, not allowed to sleep, not permitted to use the toilet, made to squat on my heels from 5 a.m. to noon, made to sit on a small stool for 15 hours a day, abused, and forced to watch and listen to slanders and lies against my belief.”
She said, “My experience is quite common among Mainland Chinese Falun Gong practitioners. The practitioners in my family alone have been arrested over ten times. Even as I speak to you, one of my brothers-in-law is being tortured in in a forced labor camp, leaving his wife and a six-year-old daughter at home with no means of support,. He was a government civil servant before July 1999 and was arrested three times. My other brother-in-law, a lecturer at a university and an architect, was deprived of his PhD degree because he was arrested four times and put in a forced labor camp for almost four years. Three of my best friends died as a result of the persecution. Someone has exposed the fact that the CCP has been removing human organs from living Falun Gong practitioners for profit. This horrifying crime is being called 'an evil that has never existed on the planet' by the international community. All of this is happening right now in China. I am a witness.”
She concluded, “I am here to appeal to the Finnish government and the Finnish people to see clearly through the evil nature of the CCP and its enticing lies. Please realize that the CCP has been pulled out by its roots. Please express support for the innocent Falun Gong practitioners and brave quitters of the CCP. God will bless you for your kindness!”
Ms. Astrid Thors, a member of the human rights department in the Finnish parliament, spoke at the event. She said that their department knows that Falun Gong is a peaceful practice method for body and mind and that they are also aware of China's human rights violations against Falun Gong and of the organ harvesting. According to government investigations, Finland has not done any organ trade business with China. Ms. Thors said she could in no way understand the persecution of such a peaceful group of practitioners and that everyone must have the right of freedom of belief.
Ms. Thors then asked Ms. Sarah Lu, who just arrived from China, if she needed her help and gave her a contact number.
Ms. Jiang, who is living in Helsinki, said, “I saw the June 4th Massacre with my own eyes. I saw the blindfolded young solders going to the Tiananmen Square to shoot their compatriots, and I saw the corpses of thousands of students and citizens that had been shot dead by the CCP forces. Facing such cruelty, I was ashamed to be a member of the CCP, and my conscience drove me to quit the Party immediately”.
She gave sincere advice: “After I read the “Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party,” I truly understood the CCP’s evil nature. Once again I used my real name to solemnly renounce my membership in the Party, the Communist Youth League, and the Young Pioneers on The Epoch Times’s website. What are you waiting for when the roots of the evil CCP have already been pulled out? Please, quit the Party. That is the way to choose a bright future for yourselves.”
Ms. Sinikka from Finland said, “As a Westerner I came to know clearly from reading the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party that the history of the CCP is written in blood and lies, that the CCP created an ideology to serve its own interest, and that it has killed 80 million Chinese people through it various political movements. It has killed the most precious part of the Chinese soul and made the young generation unable to judge what is good or bad. We could even say that some Chinese people's souls have died, which is more dangerous than one’s physical death.
“The problem of human rights violations in China has drawn more attention in the world in recent years. That the CCP has been harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners for profit has outraged the international community. China under the CCP’s control has no human rights at all. The tyranny that exists under the CCPs regime should not exist on the earth any longer. I support the great undertaking of the Chinese quitting the CCP.”
Under the bright sun that day, people on the street were attracted by the striking pictures and posters. Some received flyers from practitioners, some stopped to look at the pictures closely, and more came to the desk to sign their signatures to show their support. One of them even held up his thumb and said, “Well done !”
