Czech Republic: Brno Activity Exposes the Persecution against Falun Gong

On the 25th of February, Czech practitioners met in the Moravian metropolis of Brno to tell local people about the persecution against Falun Gong in China, which has been happening for almost six years and has claimed over 1,400 innocent lives.

After almost a week of unceasing snow, the clouds parted and the sun came out on the morning of the activity. Many people stopped to read the poster display boards, which detailed the methods of persecution and torture used in cruel attempts to force Falun Gong practitioners to give up their belief. Several thousand leaflets were distributed and many people talked with practitioners and offered messages of support. Around 200 petition signatures were collected calling for an end to the persecution.

Some people found it hard to comprehend the situation in China. They asked questions such as, “How can a government of such a huge country suppress a practice that is a precious root of its own culture and tradition?” and, “When people do these exercises, they get healthy don’t they? So the government can only benefit from it. I can’t understand why they persecute Falun Gong. That has to be evil!”
