On 26th March, Dafa practitioners held an activity in the busiest part of the city centre, near “Little Black River” tube station. Practitioners showed display boards and banners to let the people of St. Petersburg know about the practice of Falun Gong and its popularity all over the world.

Photos exposing the human rights abuses that are happening to Falun Gong practitioners in China attracted the most attention and concern from the public. After seeing the inhumane forms of torture used in cruel attempts to force Falun Gong practitioners to renounce their beliefs, people were shocked and enraged. They showed great sympathy for China’s persecuted Falun Gong practitioners. Many people signed a petition supporting Falun Gong and condemning the persecution.
