Hungary: Calling for an End After Five Years of Brutality Against Falun Gong Practitioners in China

On July the 20th 2004, Hungarian practitioners commemorated the fifth year in the unrelenting persecution of Falun Gong and remembered the 1,000 practitioners who lost their lives. They died because they practised Falun Gong. They range from children to the elderly. Also, a press conference was held outside the Chinese Embassy. The practitioners called for an immediate end to the persecution.

During the afternoon, an information activity was held at the Keleti railway station. Activities included demonstration of the five sets of Falun Gong exercises and the distribution of flyers. A practitioner played the songs Pudu and Ji Shi on a traditional Chinese instrument. Many stopped by at the booth to listen to the music and view the exhibition boards. Some remained at the booth for a long time. This time it was different, as the passerby’s stopped, took the flyers willingly and were interested to listen to the information.
