(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners raised awareness of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution and collected signatures in the districts of Belleville and Chatelet in Paris on October 7 and 11, 2025.

They demonstrated the exercises during the event in Chatelet on October 11, and many people stopped to watch. Many wanted to learn how to practice and took note of the Paris practice site. The practitioners’ eye-catching banners and display boards drew the public’s attention. After learning about Falun Dafa and the CCP’s state-sanctioned forced organ harvesting of prisoners of conscience (the majority of whom are Falun Dafa practitioners), people expressed their indignation and signed a petition calling for an end to the persecution.

Thibault, an athletic coach who works in Thailand, said the CCP’s persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners is terrible, especially their going so far as to harvest practitioners’ organs while they’re still alive. He pointed to practitioners who were meditating and said, “I don’t think they pose any danger to anyone. I completely oppose the ongoing persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners.”

Crina, a medical student, said, “We are human beings. People shouldn’t do things like harvesting organs from other people while they’re still alive. It’s horrific. I hope peace will come to humanity and that the persecution will end soon.” She encouraged practitioners to persevere in their activities to raise awareness.

Claudie Leureu, who works at an art school in Paris, said that the CCP’s persecution is unbelievable. “We need to allow people [Falun Dafa practitioners] to live in peace. The whole world must take action, not just in France, but the entire world must unite to resist [the CCP]. There should be no violence. Tolerating such acts [as organ harvesting] is unnatural.” She said that practitioners are doing a great job in resisting the persecution and that what they are doing is necessary.

Ms. Caresco, a regional youth policy director, said, “The world seems to be heading in some unpleasant directions, just like what is happening in China today with the organ harvesting of Falun Dafa practitioners. In 2025, this is completely unacceptable.”

Alexandre Vidal was outraged when he learned that the CCP persecutes Falun Dafa practitioners who practice Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, and even harvests their organs. “The communist party is hatred and violence. It destroys people, destroys lives, stifles freedom, and takes lives. This goes against God’s will. It is unacceptable that all this still exists. We must fight against it.”

Practitioners held an event in Belleville on October 7. Many Chinese people were there because it was a market day. They learned about Falun Dafa, and some asked where they could learn to practice Dafa.

Laeticia, a painter, said, “Forced organ harvesting is intolerable. It’s a horrific act, and we must oppose it. People all over the world must take action to oppose this persecution. Only then can there be world peace.”

Communications student Titiana Raheut and her mother talked with Falun Dafa practitioners in Belleville. She said the persecution is unacceptable, “No matter who you are, everyone has the right to live. Regardless of their religion or skin color, no one should be tortured. We are all human beings, and we all have the right and freedom to live.”

She added, “Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance are excellent values. As human beings, these values are very important. We must be sincere and kind. Kindness between people is also very important.”
