Bulgaria: Two Radio Broadcasts about Falun Gong in the City of Varna

Bulgarian Falun Gong practitioners participated in two radio broadcasts in the city of Varna on August 9th 2006.

Varna radio station “Alfa Radio” broadcast the practitioners in their afternoon programme, where they talked for ten minutes about the persecution in China, the imprisonment of practitioners in labour camps, mental institutions and prisons and the evidences for organ harvesting for profit by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

The practitioners told the listeners about the practice of Falun Gong and emphasised the morals and the good physical health that it brings.

They were also featured on Radio Varna, the Bulgarian national radio station. Prior to the show, the host listened to the practitioners for about an hour. He was shocked by the facts of the persecution of practitioners in China and the harvesting of their organs for transplantations, orchestrated by the Chinese communist regime.

The host was given an introductory book about Falun Gong practice, as well as materials and articles. He was mostly interested in the culture and morals that the practice of Falun Dafa brings, and the principles and exercises that it propagates. The host asked about the Falun Gong exercise sites, where anyone can learn the practice for free, and how many practitioners there are in Bulgaria.

The practitioners also met other media in Varna. They visited several local newspapers and talked to them about Falun Gong, the persecution by the CCP, and the organ harvesting from live Falun Gong practitioners. All the journalists they met received the book Falun Gong (an introductory text), Nine Commentaries on The Communist Party (the fifth commentary is dedicated to Falun Gong), and material about support for Falun Gong practitioners’ human rights from dignitaries in Europe.

The journalists also learned about interference from the Chinese Embassy in the Bulgarian capital city, Sofia, which makes constant attempts to limit the practitioners’ activities from fear that the crimes of the Chinese regime will be exposed.
