Korea: Anti-Torture Exhibition in Anyang Moves Local Residents and Exposes the Persecution of Falun Gong

Anyong is a satellite city south of Seoul, with a population of over 600,000. From October 30th to November 5th, 2004, an art exhibition entitled "Uncompromising Courage" was held here. The art exhibition provided Falun Gong practitioners from the south Gyeonggi area a good chance to introduce Falun Dafa and expose the cruel persecution being carried out in China.

Citizens are shocked and angered at the Jiang regime's cruel persecution of Falun Gong

On the afternoon of November 7th, practitioners held an anti-torture exhibition in Anyang Railway Station Plaza. The torture re-enactment and large pictures illustrating torture methods and injuries exposed the cruel nature of the Jiang regime's persecution of Falun Gong. The event was held in an area with many large department stores and cinemas, and it was held on a weekend, so many people saw the exhibition.

Those acting in the torture re-enactment were local Falun Gong practitioners. The devices and equipment were provided by the Suwon-si Falun Dafa Assistance Center. Although the actors didn't have many rehearsals, their heartfelt compassion for the Chinese Mainland practitioners kept them focused, and their excellent re-enactments moved the audience.

Many people sign the "Rescue the imprisoned practitioners petition."

The visitors watched the exhibition for a long time and expressed their anger at the Jiang regime's cruel treatment of practitioners. At first, people were shocked to see the pictures illustrating the tortures, and the torture re-enactment. But after listening an introduction entitled "Why does Jiang Zemin want to persecute Falun Gong?" many people understood the truth about the persecution and began to ask for information materials and information on learning Falun Gong.

The torture re-enactment exposed the facts of the persecution to let more people recognise the deceitful lies from Jiang's regime. The practitioners also had a group exercise practise prior to the exhibition to show the beauty of Falun Dafa to the people. Along with the anti-torture exhibition, the signature drive to rescue illegally imprisoned practitioner Gao Chengnu took place at the same time. Many people eagerly signed their names. A few thousand leaflets prepared for the exhibition were distributed quickly. The Falun Gong practitioners said they would organise similar events for the coming weekends.
