On August 13th, 2005, Dutch Falun Gong practitioners held a photo exhibition in Deventer City to disclose the Chinese Communist Party’s cruel persecution of Falun Gong. It was Saturday and the number of passers-by was particularly high. The brutality of the persecution shown in the photos was in vivid contrast to the peaceful demonstration of the five Falun Gong exercises, which attracted a lot of attention.
People are shocked upon learning that such cruel persecution continues to exist. | People surrounded the photo exhibition |

Many people who passed this activity learnt about the persecution of Falun Gong for the first time. Some of them said that they would browse the internet and sign to support the campaign against the persecution of Falun Gong and some wished Falun Gong practitioners success. One person working for the Dutch Government said that he not only would go to sign his name to support Falun Gong but would also tell his friends far away in Shanghai.
On one occasion when a crowd of people came over to watch the demonstration of the five sets of Falun Gong exercises, a practitioner told them that Falun Gong is a peaceful practice that teaches people to cultivate their mind and body based on the principle of the nature of the universe, to be True, Good, and Endure. In China, however, people are persecuted because they practise Falun Gong. Tens of thousands of people are sent to prison and more than two thousand people have been persecuted to death. We came here today to let the public know the truth of this persecution and to further stop this persecution. We hope to have your support” Hearing this, people were shocked and asked for leaflets one after another.
