Germany: Appeal Outside the German Parliament Building Enters its Second Day

On April 1 2003, our appeal activity outside the Germany Parliament Building entered its second day. Outside the Parliament Building, where a convention was in session, Falun Gong practitioners explained the facts of the persecution against Falun Gong and called upon the German Parliament to issue an urgent resolution to help stop the severe persecution that has been going on in China against Falun Gong and Falun Gong practitioners.

April 1 was windy and the weather was very bad. Practitioners were not moved at all. They continuously demonstrated the five sets of Falun Gong exercises accompanied by the peaceful music. Although the display banners were blown away countless times by the gale and some were even torn apart, each time practitioners patiently mended them and hung them up again. In the strong wind, practitioners frequently sent forth righteous thoughts [using upright thoughts to purify oneself and one’s surroundings]. The wind stopped blowing each time after the practitioners sent forth righteous thoughts. Both Chinese and western practitioners continuously explained to the passers-by the facts about the Jiang regime's inhuman persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. They also encouraged the German people who were willing to sign a petition to relay the petition among their acquaintances and then mail them to the Parliament Chairman, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the President.
