Practitioners Clarify Truth to Police Outside the Asian Winter Games Ceremony in Japan

On the morning of February 8, practitioners from Tokyo and Sentai arrived outside the closing ceremony of the Asian Winter Olympics. There were police everywhere because the Prince was to attend.

We were distributing Japanese newspapers about rescuing practitioner Yoko Kaneko, which were gladly accepted by passers by. As the closing ceremony was about to start, we had finished distributing most of our newspapers. A few police walked toward us and asked what we were doing. We told them about the persecution that Yoko Kaneko had endured in China, and about our activities in Japan to rescue him. He said that the Prince was coming that day and no one was allowed to stay around. The police had all come from different cities, and, realising this rare opportunity, the practitioners took out truth clarifying newspapers and VCDs to tell them about Falun Gong. Many groups of police came by, and we continued to clarify the truth to them. As we were about to leave, they said that security had become even tighter, and we could only leave after the closing ceremony finished. As we waited, we began doing the exercises. As the police listened to us, read the newspaper, and watched our peaceful, graceful, and beautiful movements, some police came over to ask for a VCD.

After the ceremony ended, we prepared to leave. Since we were not familiar with the roads, two very friendly police led the way for us to the entrance of the highway. As they left, they reminded us to be careful because it was late and the roads were slippery from the snow. We were deeply moved.

We feel very happy seeing that so many people now know the truth about Falun Dafa. At the same time, we realised that we must work harder because there are so many people still waiting to learn about Dafa.
