(Minghui.org) On April 24, 2021, Falun Dafa practitioners in Queensland, Australia held activities in Brisbane Square to commemorate the April 25 peaceful appeal by ten thousand Falun Dafa practitioners in Beijing 22 years ago.
Falun Dafa practitioners worldwide continue to carry the spirit of the April 25 Appeal forward and tell people about Falun Dafa in a peaceful way. They display their courage and conscience to uphold justice and morality for society. More and more people have become aware of the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) true nature. They support and admire practitioners.

People sign petitions to support practitioners’ efforts to end the persecution
Mike, who is Chinese, has lived in Australia for more than 30 years. He came to the Falun Dafa booth and said that Jiang Zemin's regime persecutes Falun Dafa, kills practitioners. and harvests their organs. He said, “The CCP is utterly heartless. The CCP regime is extremely evil and must be eliminated.
“I lived in China for over 40 years. By comparison, I know which system is superior. The CCP showed its demonic nature when it came to power. At that time the Kuomintang government was a legal government. The CCP subverted it and took power. The CCP has been launching political campaigns for decades. It has been killing people and creating terror. It uses terror to rule China. It persecutes you but at the same time it insists that you say the CCP is good and you have to praise it. That is outrageous.”
He is very supportive of practitioners' truth-clarification activity. He praised them and said, “Falun Dafa practitioners have been telling people the facts about Falun Dafa and opposing the persecution over the past 22 years despite of the CCP’s brutal suppression. They don’t expect anything from people. Falun Dafa is remarkable. It is the best group in the world. We must support them and let more people become aware of the evilness of the CCP. It is difficult to do it but remarkable. I hope Falun Dafa practitioners can make more people aware of what’s happening in China.”
Phillip Teale and his father lived in Beijing. He returned to Australia to study at the university when he finished high school in China. He went back to China to study Chinese history and obtained a master's degree after he finished university in Australia. He told practitioners his own personal experiences while living in China. He said, “I was in Beijing when the CCP launched the persecution against Falun Dafa practitioners. TV programs bombard people with dishonest reports on Falun Dafa every day. When I mentioned Falun Dafa at the lunch table in the university, my classmates hurriedly left because everyone was afraid and tried to avoid the topic.”
He said, “The CCP monitors Chinese people living overseas. I saw a video about the Chinese people outside China being monitored. They were videotaped for being against the CCP and the video was sent back to China. Their family members and friends might be arrested or get disappeared. Wherever Chinese people go, they seem unable to escape the CCP’s control.”
“People can openly practice Falun Dafa anywhere else outside China. The CCP can convict Chinese people at will.” He saw people freely practice Falun Dafa in Hong Kong and Taiwan. After the persecution started in China, he didn’t see anyone openly practice Falun Dafa.
Phillip said, “If anyone supports human rights and Falun Dafa, the CCP will force him to plead guilty on TV. The court misjudged many cases in China. The CCP can convict people at will and make people disappear because the CCP controls them.”
He hopes that China will become a free society. “The CCP destroyed traditional Chinese culture during the Cultural Revolution. I hope that traditional culture can be restored so as to build a new China.”
Ted Westerhoff is a construction firm owner. He thought that the CCP was afraid of the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. To end the persecution, all countries must be united and say No to the CCP.
Ted Westerhoff: All countries must unite and say No to the CCP.
He said that the CCP will not give Chinese people freedom or democracy because it wants to control everything. More countries need to say “end the persecution” to the CCP. If the CCP doesn’t stop the persecution, all countries must unite and stop any trade with China. Then things would change for sure.
