On the 17th of May, during the annual Gothenburg Marathon, Falun Gong practitioners collected signatures to rescue Pirjo, a Swedish practitioner detained in Thailand without reason. After learning the facts, passers-by, spectators and runners were shocked by the brutal persecution of Falun Gong practitioners, and many of them signed the petition for Pirjo’s release and to express their support of practitioners’ efforts.
