(Minghui.org) Falun Gong practitioners in central Japan held activities in Nagoya, the capital of Aichi Prefecture, on July 20, 2025, to protest the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution.

They did the exercises near the Sakae fountain in the city center, raised awareness of the CCP’s state-sanctioned forced organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners, and held a peaceful protest near the Chinese Consulate in Nagoya.

In the morning, Falun Gong practitioners demonstrated the exercises next to Sakae Fountain in the city center. Afterward, they handed out fliers to passersby, telling them that the CCP has been persecuting Falun Gong for 26 years and about its crime of forced organ harvesting. Practitioners also called on the public to sign a petition to support stopping these human rights abuses.

“Keep Going. I Support You!”

Mr. Shibano signed the petition to stop the CCP’s forced organ harvesting. He told practitioners, “Keep going. I support you!”

A man from Sweden told a practitioner that he and his wife had seen a Falun Gong march in Kyoto last week. The practitioner told them that she had also participated in that march. Through the conversation, he gained more understanding of Falun Gong and the persecution in China. He signed the petition to stop forced organ harvesting and expressed his hope that the CCP would immediately stop the persecution. He invited his wife and several friends to sign the petition, too.

In the evening, practitioners peacefully protested near the Chinese Consulate in Nagoya. They held banners that called for an end to forced organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners and called on the CCP to immediately stop the persecution.

Mr. Duy, a practitioner who participated in the protest, said, “Although it is very hot today, we all worked hard to participate in this event to protest the persecution.

“I am very sad that the persecution has not ended yet. This is a heinous crime committed by the Chinese Communist Party. I hope everyone can understand the truth and stand up to protect Falun Gong practitioners and kind people who believe in Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. The CCP must stop this persecution immediately!”
