(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners held activities to introduce the practice at Grote Markststraat in The Hague in mid-February 2026. They demonstrated the exercises, distributed flyers, and told passersby about the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution.
Practitioners held activities at The Hague in mid-February 2026 to introduce Falun Dafa.
After seeing the exercise demonstration and the display boards, a resident commented, “You are very calm—this is a strong contrast with the noisy surroundings.”
He signed a petition calling for an end to the CCP’s persecution after learning that such a peaceful group has been persecuted in China for 27 years. He soon returned and read the display boards with information on the CCP’s persecution. A practitioner told him the site where practitioners offered the teachings for free. He said he was interested and would try it.

Two ladies from the US were very interested in Falun Dafa and asked where they could learn how to do the exercises. When they were told where the nearest group practice site was, one of them said happily that she lived nearby. Because they are government employees, they did not sign the petition, but they said they supported the practitioners’ event. One said, “What you do is important. Let more people know about this.”

Henk Pietdrsma, a student living in Zoetermeer, and his friend signed the petition calling to stop the CCP-sanctioned forced organ harvesting. He said, “I object to forced organ harvesting. It is terrible to harvest organs against a person's will, especially from these practitioners.
“The Communist Party maintains a one-party rule, unlike the Dutch democratic system, where multiple parties represent the interests of different groups. In China, there is only one Party, and people do not have the freedom to express their own will.”
The Peace Palace in The Hague is home to the International Court of Justice, the Permanent Court of Arbitration, and the Hague Academy of International Law.
