(Minghui.org) Falun Gong practitioners held public events in front of the Chinese Embassy in Rome, Italy on February 8, 2017 to raise awareness of the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) state-sanctioned killing of practitioners in China for their organs. They demonstrated the Falun Gong exercises and set up banners and posters.
A woman named Stefania said to practitioner Dana, “You are doing great. I am proud of you. You expose the facts and are courageously telling people what is happening in China. They [the CCP] are murderers and criminals.” She added that raising awareness is the best way to help stop the persecution.
