United Kingdom: The Public Supports Practitioners Introducing Falun Gong in Downtown Newcastle

On November 7, 2009, Falun Gong practitioners from Newcastle in northern England and other cities went to downtown Newcastle to introduce Falun Gong. They set up an information booth to inform people about the practice, expose China's inhuman persecution of Falun Gong practitioners, and support 63 million Chinese people who have quit the CCP and its affiliated organisations.

From the second half year of 2008, the Falun Gong practitioners in Newcastle conduct the activities of introducing Falun Gong during weekends around twice a month. The series event not only enabled more and more local people to know Falun Gong, but also resulted in some people starting to join the practice.

On November 7, there were many people in downtown Newcastle. Many of them stopped to watch the information display boards. Some people came over to sign their names to support Falun Gong practitioners after learned about the fact.

A middle-aged lady and a few kids came straight to the table and signed the petition. They told a practitioner that they had got the Falun Gong leaflets last time. After reading it, they were eager to help Falun Gong practitioners. On that day, they came across the event again, so they came over immediately to sign their names.

Having signed the petition, a young man left the URL link of his own website and told a practitioner that information about the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong on his website can be posted free of charge so that more people could view it.

An elegant elder couple passed by the booth. Having received a flyer from a practitioner, the old gentleman said, "We are going to a Christian church. We knew that Christians in China are also suffering the severe persecution......" The practitioner nodded, "Yes, they are." The old man continued, "The current situation in China is like a big picture. Someone may see a small point (of the picture) at some opportunities. But what you should do is trying to show people the whole picture, and tell people the complete story. This is exactly what you are doing. Well done, way to go."
