(Minghui.org) Falun Gong practitioners in Western Australia held activities in front of the Chinese consulate, in Chinatown, and the city center of Perth for the three days, on July 17-20, 2025, to condemn the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) transnational repression of Falun Gong and call for an end to the persecution.
The CCP began the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners on July 20, 1999, with the genocidal policy of “ruining their reputations, bankrupting them financially, and destroying them physically.” It has committed the crimes of torture, genocide, and crimes against humanity. Like the practitioners in other countries, practitioners in Western Australia have clarified the truth to people and countered the persecution peacefully and rationally over the past 26 years. They have earned the support and admiration of people in their respective areas.

“Thank You for Doing What You are Doing”
Trudy Richards said, “I hope my little bit will help.”
Trudy Richards condemned the CCP’s forced organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners.
“I heard about it quite a few years ago. I was absolutely appalled. I think more and more people need to know what’s actually going on because it’s absolutely disgusting, and it takes away people’s free will. The more people that become aware of it, then hopefully it can stop,” she said.
“We are all humans. We all have a right to live a good life. We all have the same basic needs. There should be no persecution, and no treating people less than animals,” she said.
She expressed her support and thanks to the practitioners for holding such activities. “It’s a good, gentle protest, but it actually catches your eyes. The yellow is good for that, and you can pick up that it’s Falun Gong,” she said. “It’s good that you are getting attention. This is going to help wake people up as well, hopefully. I hope my little bit will help. I’ve talked about it with some of my friends and they go ‘ahh no’, and I say ‘we’ll look into it, it is absolutely true.’”
Finally, she said, “Thank you for doing what you’re doing.”

Ava Marie Hunter-Ingledew expressed support for practitioners. She said the event being held in the Perth City Mall was “very beautiful, spiritualistic, gorgeous, and powerful.”
“I think they are very beautiful principles [Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance]. They show a very strong message about the pain they went through and how strong they are becoming, and how they are evolving from what has happened,” she said.
After hearing that practitioners had been up against the CCP’s transnational repression with recent articles attacking Falun Gong in Western media with ties to the CCP, lawfare, and bomb threats to theaters that host Shen Yun, she said, “I think that’s incredibly strong of them, and their ambitions, and their morals are incredible. They should keep going even stronger.”
Jovan signed the petition calling to counter the persecution.
Jovan signed the petition and was very upset about the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners by the CCP.
“This is another meditation activity. It’s harmless. I don’t get why the government [CCP] is making a big deal out of it,” he said.
