Germany: Magdeburg City Government and University Help Falun Gong Practitioners to Hold a Picture Exhibition
2003-06-21The purpose of this exhibition is to expose Chinas persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. The persecution and torture of Falun Gong practitioners is the persecution of human rights.
