On Saturday the 13th of November, Dafa practitioners from Sheffield, London, Manchester and Lincoln came to Sheffield city centre to promote Falun Gong and expose the persecution people who practise Falun Gong in China.
It was a nice day with pleasant sunshine and a comfortable temperature. There were thousands of people passing by the practitioners’ appeal area. Practitioners from the surrounding cities arrived at the city centre around 11:30am. We unfolded four big banners as the background of our appeal site, which drew a lot of people’s attention. We also set up a table to display leaflets and a petition, along with some posters that detailed the forms of torture used in attempts to force Falun Gong practitioners in China to betray their beliefs.
The practitioners continuously demonstrated the Falun Gong exercises. A lot of passers-by stopped to watch our exercises demonstrations and read our banners and display boards. People were eager to ask questions such as “what is Falun Gong?”, “Why is the persecution happening?”, “How could I help to stop this persecution?” and so on, which gave practitioners the opportunity to tell them about the human rights abuses more deeply.
After learning the truth of the persecution, people signed their names on a petition form to “Bring Jiang Zemin to Justice”. The former leader of China is the main instigator of the persecution against Falun Gong, so people were keen to support bringing him to justice in a court of law and holding him responsible for his crimes against humanity. Some people indicated that they will tell their friends about Falun Gong. Also a number of passers-by were interested in learning the exercises and asked for details of the local practice site and contact persons.

The whole activity went smoothly and successfully. Nearly two thousand Falun Dafa leaflets, four hundred Falun Dafa English newspapers and some Chinese material and Video-CDs were handed out.
