On the morning of February 25 2003, Dafa practitioners in Gothenburg and the surrounding cities went to the Chinese Consulate to appeal against Hong Kong’s Article 23 legislation, which is being pushed through regardless of the democracy and freedom promised to the Hong Kong people. Because the Chinese Consulate is situated in an industrial area, many cars and trucks passed us. On passing, the drivers kindly showed their support by giving the thumbs up sign, waving in a friendly manner and beeping their car horns.
