  • Germany: Collecting Signatures against Terrorism and the Persecution in Wuerzburg

    On Saturday July 17th, practitioners in Wuerzburg held a signature-collecting activity in the city centre, exposing to the public the crimes committed by the Jiang regime during its five-year long persecution of Falun Gong. Many people who learned the truth came to sign our petition against Jiang’s terrorist activity and show their support for the lawsuit against Jiang in Germany.
  • United Kingdom: Promoting Falun Gong in Glasgow

    On July 15th, Scottish Dafa disciples promoted the Fa and clarified the truth in Glasgow, the biggest city in Scotland. Events took place in St. George’s Square. During our activities, we found that many people already knew the facts and there were people too who had misunderstandings about Dafa, which were disentangled after hearing the truth.
  • Germany: Activities in Bremen on World Anti-Torture Day

    Unable to find our exhibition immediately, we wandered in the city centre, which was full of visitors. No matter where we went, everyone we met looked at the display board and it really became a mobile information desk. We were very happy to see so many German people supporting us. They smiled at us and showed their sympathy. I felt that this warm sympathy to Falun Gong practitioners persecuted in China accompanied us wherever we went.
  • UK: The Ancient Falun Gong Exercises Come to Huddersfield Town

    ‘Millions of people took up the exercises leaving Chinese communist leader Jiang Zemin angry and feeling threatened by its influence. Falun Gong was banned and campaigners claim hundreds have been tortured, raped, brainwashed and injected with harmful drugs. Many were forced out of jobs, schools and homes. Chinese police officers were instructed to eradicate Falun Gong and no methods, it seems, were too extreme.’
  • Ukraine: "The Path of Falun Gong" Picture Exhibition Held in Boryspil City

    From June 6th to June 9th 2004, Falun Gong practitioners held “The Path of Falun Gong” picture exhibition at the Country History Museum in the Ukranian city of Boryspil. It showed how Falun Dafa has spread around the world and the course of peacefully and rationally opposing the persecution taking place in China.
  • Fadu in Sweden (6): Taking Souvenir Pictures with Swedish Children

    Over the past few days, Fadu has become a celebrity in this school. Both teachers and pupils adore Fadu, not just out of sympathy, but more like respect for the little Dafa disciple. After the lessons ended, every child in the class was happy to be photographed with Fadu and other Dafa disciples.
  • Fadu in Sweden (5): Fadu's Innocent Dancing

    Fadu and her mother arrived at the school during break-time on a morning in early June. The children greeted them, all striving to be the first to call out, “Fadu is here!”, “Hello Fadu!” The Swedish children very much appreciated Fadu’s dance movements. Fadu’s dance received lots of applause from the Swedish pupils and moved several teachers to tears.
  • Fadu in Sweden (5): Telling Elementary School Pupils about the Persecution of Falun Dafa

    Little Fadu and some Dafa practitioners went to an elementary school in Bors to talk about the persecution of Falun Gong, especially the children of Falun Gong practitioners, to the pupils and teachers. The children there learned to write ‘Truth-Compassion-Tolerance’ in Chinese and learned to practise the five sets of Falun Gong exercises.
  • Germany: Falun Gong is Popular at the 'Peace Action' Event in Augsburg

    After the parade, practitioners were invited to perform the exercises and a Lotus Dance on the stage. They explained a bit about the exercises as well as the cruel persecution that Falun Gong has suffered in China. In the meantime, other practitioners were distributing flyers and the latest news about the hiring of gunmen to shoot Falun Gong practitioners in South Africa.
  • Fadu in Sweden (4): Schoolchildren Experience the Goodness of Falun Gong Exercises

    Dafa practitioners used simple words to tell the children how people benefit greatly from practising Falun Gong. But practitioners in China are forced to give up their cultivation. Gentle Falun Gong exercises enabled the children to experience the beauty of Falun Gong so as to understand that the persecution happening in China is not right, but evil.
  • Germany: Students at Ruhr-University-Bochum Learn About Falun Gong

    We opened our booth in front of the University’s administrative offices. Many students passed by and accepted information material even though many were in a hurry and had no time to talk. However, a practitioner from Russia spoke for a long time with a countryman. They agreed that it is proper to live and act according to the principles of “Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance.”, and that it is completely unjust to detain people in a labour camp for trying to be good people.
  • Germany: Setting Up an Information Booth in Gelsenkirchen to Introduce Falun Dafa

    Our exhibition posters are a good way for people to learn more about Falun Dafa and many people enjoyed looking at them. In Germany, people tend to relate the Swastika symbol in the Falun emblem with Hitler’s symbol. One of the posters explained how the Swastika is actually a treasured symbol that has existed for thousands of years of years. It was always thought to represent good fortune. We got a very positive response after people had viewed these posters carefully.
  • Russia: Talking to People in Downtown St. Petersburg about the Shooting in South Africa

    On July the 8th 2004, Falun Gong practitioners held a peaceful appeal in downtown St. Petersburg to protest against the Jiang regime’s brutal persecution of Falun Gong in China and their exporting of state-run terrorism to other nations, including the recent shooting incident in South Africa. Many passersby stopped to view posters and learn more about the situation.
  • Fadu in Sweden (3): Using Paper Lotus Flowers to Express Concern About the Children of Falun Gong Practitioners in China

    Teaching people how to fold paper lotus flowers is a very good opportunity to explain the facts about Falun Gong. Through hearing the suffering that Fadu has experienced and how her father was killed because he practised Falun Gong, the teachers and students were able to understand the true situation of the Jiang regime’s persecution.
  • Event Notice: A Race for Human Rights, Sponsored by the International Society for Human Rights (ISHR)

    The award of the Olympic events was seen by the Chinese leadership in Beijing, and clearly evidenced in their propaganda, that the international community recognised the existing social stability and progress on that front. China therefore believed itself to be justified in their hard line actions against dissidents. Therefore, the former Chinese Vice President Li Lanqing, after being awarded the Peking Olympic events, announced, “We have achieved an important victory over Falun Gong. We were awarded the honour to host the 2008 Olympic Games (The Australian, July 23, 2001).
