(Minghui.org) A large banner worded “Immediately Release 74-year-old Dafa Practitioner Liu Yanchun” was hung in front of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands near The Hague Central Station on August 6, 2026. Falun Dafa practitioners held activities to call on the ministry and the public to help release the practitioners who were recently arrested in Changchun, Jilin Province, China.
Many people stopped to read the display boards, which had descriptions of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution. Some asked for more information while others signed the petition calling for the practitioners’ release.
Police in Changchun conducted large-scale arrests of Falun Dafa practitioners in July 2026. Among those arrested, some were in their 80s; others were disabled due to long-term imprisonment. The CCP’s persecution has gone on for 27 years.

Mohanmode from the UK saw the display boards with information about the CCP’s torture and the large banner requesting that practitioner Liu be released. He said it was unbelievable that the CCP regime persecutes elderly people because they live by Falun Dafa’s guiding principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.
He signed the petition, took photos of the display, and said, “I will post them on my social media to help spread the message.”

A father and son talked with practitioners and expressed sympathy for the practitioners who are persecuted. The father said, “The CCP should free these practitioners. I condemn the persecution. The CCP should change its way and stop persecuting Falun Dafa.
“I truly hope that the practitioners who were arrested are freed as soon as possible and that Falun Dafa practitioners in China have freedom of belief as we do in the Netherlands.”
Lille and her friends stopped to read the information, and she told a practitioner that she and her friend had been doing the Falun Dafa exercises for more than a year. She taught yoga for 15 years. After her daughter gave her a flyer about Falun Dafa, she was interested and went to the group practice site in The Hague.
“While practicing the third set of exercises, even though my eyes were closed, I could see golden energy flowing in sync with the up-and-down movements of my hands, and I felt a deep warmth throughout my body,” said Lille.
About the practitioners who are persecuted in China, she said sadly, “Why does the Chinese government want to do this? Practicing Falun Dafa is good for people.”
