At noon on February 1, 2007, Amnesty International, Asian Pacific American Law, and the organization "Never Again!" held a forum titled "China’s New Genocide – Organ Harvesting from Prisoners of Conscience" on the campus of the University of Denver in Colorado. Mr. David Matas, a famous human rights lawyer; Mr. Erping Zhang, a Falun Gong spokesperson and director of the Asia Study Association; Dr. Wenyi Wang; and Dr. Charles Lee were invited to give speeches at the forum.

 The audience |
About 100 students and faculty members in the Department of Law attended this one-hour-long forum. Before the forum, attendees viewed a photo exhibition outside the conference hall, which introduced the spread of Falun Gong all over the world and the persecution in China. Several Falun Gong practitioners gave tours at the exhibition.
That evening, Amnesty International and the University of Colorado held another forum on the Boulder campus. The forum was held in University Memorial Center, Glenn Miller Ballroom. About 200 spectators went to the forum and saw the photo exhibition beforehand. They also watched the video "Set Them Free."
At the forums, four speakers introduced Falun Gong, the
persecution against Falun Gong, and the CCP's harvesting of organs from
living Falun Gong practitioners to the audiences. Many audience members
asked questions and signed their names on the petition which called for
help to stop the persecution.
18 million Chinese people have withdrawn from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations. To support the trend, the Malaysia Quit the CCP Service Center hosted a rally in Nilai Township where two international colleges are located. The purpose of the rally was to inform the a few thousand Chinese students in the two colleges about the wave of quitting the CCP. Falun Gong practitioners joined the rally to expose the CCP's organ harvesting atrocities.

The organizer of the event said there were at least 3000 Chinese international students in the two colleges, Nilai International College and Yindi International College, in Nilai Township, Negeri Sembilan Province.
Xie Guangli spoke at the rally telling the Chinese students that CCP is about to collapse and that officials at different levels are seeking channels to contact Quit the CCP Service Centers so as to save themselves and the country. Xie urged the students to treasure their freedom in the foreign country, to read Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party and quit the CCP and all its affiliated organizations.
Xie said he was a volunteer at Malaysian Quit CCP Service Center and they are obliged to let the international students from China to know the wave of quitting CCP. So they decided to come to this town.
"The effect of promoting withdrawing from CCP is very good at Nilai. We plan to come and host another activity in the future." He also called on the students to pass the information to their families and friends in China.
The volunteers arrived at the streets near a night street market. They set up banners stating "Support 18 million brave people withdrawn from Chinese Communist Party", "Communist Party is not China, Love the country is not equal to love the Party", "No Communism in Malaysia", "CCP IS OVER". Many students and others stopped to watch and accepted truth-clarification materials.
A few Chinese students took photos of the display boards with their cellphones. The volunteers called out "The heaven is destroying CCP, quitting CCP to be safe", "Return to the traditional Chinese Culture, dissemble Communist Party Culture", "No Communism, No CCP". Some Chinese were surprised to hear these words and their expressions were concerned.
In the night, the volunteers broadcast the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party video on a large screen TV and continued to pass out fliers.
Some Falun Gong practitioners joined the event to collect
signatures in the street calling for more people to help stop Chinese
Communist Party's crime of organ harvesting from live Falun Gong
practitioners.
Uta, a Falun Gong practitioner, carefully removed the Chinese number "seven", and pasted the number "eight" on the banner. The banner, then read "Support 18 Million People Quitting the CCP". Uta hung it up with the help of another practitioner, Mr. Chen, who told reporter they have held similar campaigns in Munich every several weeks over the past six months. Every time they needed to change the number. Although it has been a little bothersome, they are happy, because it means that more and more Chinese are awakening to break their ties to the CCP.

On February the 3, 2007, practitioners in Munich's Marienplatz Square campaigned to support 18 million people withdrawing from the Chinese Communist Party, drawing the attention of citizens and visitors alike. People read the posters that exposed the persecution of Falun Gong. People were shocked at what the Chinese Communists are doing, especially with regard to harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners.
"My husband and I traveled to China last year, but we did not sense any of its ancient culture. Where has the old Chinese culture from five thousand years ago gone? All its ancient culture has been sabotaged by the Chinese Communist regime." This sentiment was related to a reported by an older German couple at the exhibition table for supporting the Chinese people quitting the CCP. The couple gave their signatures asking the German government to stop the CCP
On the day of the campaign, many tourist groups and Chinese students studying in Germany had flocked to Marienplatz Square. Most of them were willing to take the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party and the editorials of The Epochtimes. Some said they would look at them carefully. Others said they would quit the CCP on the spot. Some promised they would cautiously consider whether or not to quit the CCP. Others were talking about why and how to quit the CCP.
A German nurse said the reason that she gave her signature was based on her experience when she traveled to China ten years ago. At that time she felt an invisible pressure and the Chinese Communists made her feel uneasy. The feeling was too horrific. She told a reporter that it is inhuman to extend life by purchasing organs from other people.
On January 30, 2007, some Falun Gong practitioners held a series of activities in Lerum City, a small town in Sweden to mark the fourth anniversary of Falun Dafa Day. Mr. Bengt Hrnlund, member of People’s Health Committee of Lerum City Government and chairman of the city’s Youth Activity Committee, proclaimed on behalf of Lerum City on January 30, 2003 that January 30th every year to be Falun Dafa Day.

 Children especially like paper lotus flowers |
On the same day of the proclamation, Mr. Hrnlund praised Falun Gong practitioners and expressed his support for Falun Gong practitioners who are suffering persecution in China. Lerum City also issued a statement the same day.
Since Falun Dafa was introduced to Lerum City in 1999, new practitioners can learn the Falun Gong exercises at practice sites. Falun Gong has obtained many support and praise in Lerum City, and many people have witnessed its positive effect on people’s physical and mental wellbeing.
At this year’s Falun Dafa Day, it was colder than previous years, and also snowed. Practitioners demonstrated the five sets of exercises and distributed flyers and handmade paper lotus flowers. Children particularly liked paper lotus flowers.
Though it was very cold, many people took flyers. One lady walked to the practitioners and said it was coincident and amusing to meet with Falun Gong practitioners, because earlier that day, her colleagues and she had searched information about Falun Gong on the internet to find a practice site to learn Falun Gong. She left happily after the practitioners told her the nearest practice site.
