Czech Republic: Introducing Falun Gong and Exposing the Persecution to the People of Brno

Passers-by read about the cruel torture methods used by the CCP to force Falun Gong practitioners to give up their belief

Brutal human rights abuse, persecution and torture of Falun Gong practitioners by the Chinese communist regime - Czech Falun Gong practitioners gathered on January 6th, 2006 to inform the people of Brno about these tragedies.

Passersby sign the petition (In 2005, tens of thousands of Czechs signed a letter demanding an immediate end to the suppression)

During the whole day, the traditional style Chinese exercise music and gentle exercises performed by Falun Gong practitioners attracted the attention of passersby to the petition, as well as banners disclosing crimes that the CCP has committed against Falun Gong during almost seven years of persecution. Despite the cold New Year's weather, many people stopped to read about it and some immediately went to sign the petition.

Many Czech people still have in memory the communist rule over Czechoslovakia. They remember the persecution of those who had different beliefs or opinions. From this point of view it is easier for Czechs to sympathise with Falun Gong. Their support of the Falun Gong principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance accompanies their stance against communism.
