(Clearwisdom.net) July 20th, 2007, marked eight full years of persecution of Falun Gong in China. To remember and honor the 3066 Falun Gong practitioners who have lost their lives because they refused to give up their faith in Falun Gong and the principles of Truth, Compassion and Forbearance, local practitioners held peaceful protests in front of the Chinese Embassy in Rome and the Chinese Consulate in Milan on the morning of Friday, July 20th.

In the afternoon, practitioners organized an activity in Repubblica Square, in Rome's city center. They handed out leaflets and talked to passersby about the persecution of Falun Gong. Many people were shocked to hear that Chinese Communist Party organizations instigated the harvesting of organs from living Falun Gong practitioners to sell for profit. The practitioners' bodies are then cremated to destroy any evidence.
