I had not bothered looking into Falun Gong before but this video is a really good summary.
Please bare with the vacuous liberal anti-CCP stuff. If anything it makes the video more accessible to those needing to hear its core message.

If anyone has seen a better video on this topic please post in the comments.

    OKAY WAIT THIS MIGHT ACTUALLY ANSWER A QUESTION I'VE HAD FOR AGES. I've lived in LA my whole life and as a kid used to go to the Santa Monica Pier a lot, and I remember a few times there was a tent/canopy set up at the top of the ramp right under the sign that had what looked like someone performing surgery on someone else? I looked away whenever we walked by cause I was really squeamish and scared of blood, but in retrospect I had no idea what the actual point of that demo was. Could it have been some sort of Falun Gong thing to bring attention to "organ harvesting"?? That would make a lot of sense.

    Edit: This would've been around 15 years ago for reference... god I'm old

      I have no idea, but searched google images "organ harvesting falun gong" which was not that bad; although I used to watch horror movies so...
      I made a screenshot then removed and censored everything I consider disturbing or irrelevant. All these 'surgeries' are street side performances: https://i.imgur.com/kzN8g2Y.jpeg
      Falun Gong crackdown started in 1999 so 15 years ago is totally possible.
