(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners in the Netherlands held an event in front of the House of Representatives in The Hague from April 14 to April 16, 2026.

They introduced Falun Dafa to the newly sworn-in government officials and members of the House of Representatives.

They also raised awareness about the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) brutal persecution of practitioners, including the state-sanctioned forced organ harvesting, which continues today.

They called on the Dutch government to take measures to support Falun Dafa practitioners’ efforts to call for an end to the persecution.

Practitioners wore yellow “Falun Dafa is good” shirts and demonstrated the exercises. Some of them spoke to the pedestrians and members of the House of Representatives who were entering or leaving the building and gave them flyers. Some members of the House of Representatives even walked over of their own accord to learn about Falun Dafa. Passersby also expressed their support.

Member of the House of Representatives Observed the Activities and Accepted Materials

Around 4 o’clock in the afternoon on April 16, a member of the House of Representatives came out of the office building with his two assistants. He said to a practitioner, “I know that you were here last week. I saw you all when I looked out of my office window.”

He listened to a practitioner explaining the CCP’s persecution and accepted a flyer and a copy of the 2022 European Parliament Resolution. This resolution validated that crimes of forced organ harvesting are still going on in China. He said that he will read the materials seriously and find out more about the persecution of Falun Gong.

Criminal Lawyer: The CCP’s Persecution of Falun Dafa Practitioners Is a Crime

Semi Emix is a criminal lawyer who works in a law firm nearby. He was wearing earbuds while talking on the phone as he passed by, so he did not take the flyer that a practitioner offered him, but he came back later to follow up with one of the practitioners.

After learning that practitioners were calling for the CCP to stop the persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners, he said that this information is very important, as the CCP’s persecution is a criminal offense and deserves attention.

He asked the practitioner if they would be here every day, as he wants to bring an interview team over to find out more about this matter. The practitioner gave him information about the findings of the China Tribunal, an independent tribunal that convened in the United Kingdom to investigate the forced organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience in China, and the results of the United Nations’ investigation into the Chinese regime’s state-sanctioned forced organ harvesting.

Meleka is currently studying at a medical school. After seeing the event and the banners, she directly looked for a practitioner to sign the petition and show her support.

“I care about human rights, and I know that there are many problems in China that infringe on human rights. I hope that I can help these people to oppose the persecution, so I am signing the petition to show my support,” she said.

A practitioner told Meleka that the principles of Falun Dafa are Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance.

“These principles are wonderful,” Meleka said. “We should be kind to people and persist in our belief that Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance should not be persecuted. I hope that they can find justice.”

“It is wrong of them [the CCP] to kill people. I hope that I can help to stop the killing from happening in China and the world,” she said.

Energy Company Employee: You All Are Very Courageous, and I Am Willing to Help You

A man who had already heard about Falun Dafa from a practitioner passed by the front of the House of Representatives and signed the petition to show his support.

He really liked the origami lotus flower that a practitioner had given to him and expressed his support for the practitioners.

“I have a clear understanding of communism, and I hope that you all attain success. Don’t you all worry that the CCP will come and make trouble for you when you come out to do all this? The Chinese Embassy is located in The Hague, too!” the man asked.

A practitioner told him that, although the threat from the CCP exists, having an increasing number of kind people learn the truth is a powerful force to help stop the persecution. The gentleman agreed, “You all are very courageous, and I hope that you succeed. I am willing to help you.”

Filipino Woman: I May Have to Give Up Yoga and Start Practicing Falun Dafa

Olive Kitt passed in front of the House of Representatives with her young son and saw the calm scene of the Falun Dafa practitioners demonstrating the exercises. She took out her mobile phone to take photos and kept saying, “This is so wonderful. I like it!”

She has been practicing yoga and really likes the culture of cultivation. A practitioner gave her a simple introduction about the main principles of Falun Dafa and told her that there are free classes to teach the practice, and there are also free exercise sites that she can join in The Hague. Olive said that she would see out more information about Falun Dafa online. She also said, “I may have to give up yoga and start practicing Falun Gong!”
