The organisers of the event expressed that they chose the anniversary of Czechoslovakia’s overthrowing of the Communist regime in 1989 as the date for the event. A participant of the event told journalists that a lot of countries are still waiting for the day when Communist powers will be completely disintegrated. Eighteen years ago, the Czech Republic used peaceful ways to change the political situation in their country, so now some Chinese people are using the Czech Republic as an example.
Falun Gong started spreading in 1992, with millions of practitioners following the principles of Truth, Compassion and Tolerance. The Communist regime started persecuting Falun Gong in 1999. Since then, tens of thousands of practitioners have been arrested. Falun Gong practitioners’ organs are also harvested for transplants. Practitioners hope that people over the world can pay attention to the happenings of the persecution.
According to reports, the European Celestial Marching Band formed at the end of last year, consisting of 160 Falun Gong practitioners. Around half of the members of the Band performed in Prague. The organisers of the event expressed their opinion that political activists in other countries and the Czech Republic should speak out and oppose the violating of human rights in China.
