Russia: Promoting Falun Gong and Appealing for People’s Concern for China’s Persecuted Practitioners

On February the 12th, Falun Gong practitioners from St. Petersburg, Moscow and Saratov gathered at the subway station of Kirovsko in St. Petersburg. The main aim of this activity was to introduce the practice of Falun Gong to the locals, expose the Chinese Communist Party’s brutal persecution under the Jiang regime and appeal for justice and conscience.

Four large banners, Falun Gong practitioners’ art work and over a hundred different pictures of the torture methods used to force Falun Gong practitioners to renounce their beliefs were suspended at the main entrance to the subway. Falun Gong practitioners told the passing pedestrians about the spreading of Falun Gong around the world and talked about the Falun Gong practitioners’ art work. Simultaneously, they exposed the campaign of genocide that has been happening in China for over five years. They also displayed pictures of those who have been persecuted and revealed the extent of the death toll of practitioners.

After viewing the exhibition, many pedestrians requested information about Falun Gong and how they could help to stop the persecution on their own initiative. The majority of them signed the petition to support Falun Gong and condemned the persecution by the Chinese Communist Party.
