  • Finland: Despite Five Years of Brutal Persecution, Falun Gong Practitioners' Belief in Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance stays Firm (Part 2)

    To let more people know what is going on in China, Falun Gong practitioners in Nordic Countries organised on Sunday 18th July, a live Anti-Torture Exhibition in Helsinki to expose the torture methods used on Falun Gong practitioners in the Chinese labour camps and prisons. They also demonstrated the peaceful practice of Falun Gong.
  • Ukraine: Promoting Falun Gong in Chernigov City

    Nobody refused to accept the newspaper; a few people even ran to me to ask for some. They were shouting “Falun Gong” on their way to me; they said you would know what Falun Gong really is simply by reading the newspapers. Some people also greeted Master. Because I didn’t take many of the information booklets with me, everyone who got one said they would read from the beginning to the end, and then pass it on to others.
  • Switzerland: A Letter from the Swiss Falun Gong Association to the Swiss Federation President and Minister of the Economy.

    We think that this shooting incident is an act of terrorism. We feel profoundly shocked by the brutal methods employed by the Jiang group to eradicate Falun Gong inside and outside China. In March, 2002, Jiang Zemin issued an order to shoot at Falun Gong practitioners. However, South Africa is not part of China. This shooting incident indicates that the Jiang group employed hired gunmen to attack Falun Gong practitioners, just like China used money to buy the votes of poor nations during the UN Commission on Human Rights Meeting.
  • 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.
