By an Italian practitioner

On December 14 2002, the Milanese branch of Forza Italia, the current ruling party in Italy, held a meeting. When practitioners heard about the meeting, they decided to go there and reveal the truth of the persecution to the participants. On arrival, practitioners visited the organisers to introduce themselves and talk about the Jiang regime’s suppression of Falun Gong in China. The organisers allowed practitioners to put Dafa materials on the information desk so that everyone could take them at will. Because a practitioner had previously sent materials to them and they had learned about the persecution of Falun Gong on the radio, the organisers asked practitioners if they would like to introduce the situation of Falun Gong to everyone by making a presentation on the stage before the meeting began.

The practitioners introduced what Falun Gong is, the facts of the persecution by Jiang’s regime and the known death toll in Mainland China. They emphasised that whilst facing three years of brutality, Falun Gong practitioners continually and rationally appeal for an end to the persecution. They display the principles of Falun Dafa [Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance] through their behaviour. Despite being tortured, beaten and murdered, there is not a single case of a practitioner in China retaliating.

After the meeting, practitioners gave leaflets to two MPs from Forza Italia. One of them said that he had signed a motion on Falun Gong in the 2000 parliament and they used this opportunity to thank him. Practitioners also gave materials to the officials of Lombardy Region, Milan province and Milan city.

One official form the Lombardy region was greatly shocked by the information. He said that he hoped he could help to organise some activities in the future with Falun Gong practitioners. The chairman of the United College Association in Milan contacted practitioners spontaneously and even prepared a conference for college students

Before deciding to join the meeting, we had not considered the result; we simply thought that we did not want to miss this chance to reveal the truth. Seeing people with such righteous thoughts and people who wanted to help us tell others about this terrible injustice, we were deeply touched. We now feel the importance of “Hurry Up and Tell Them” [an article by Mr. Li Hongzhi].
