Germany: The People of Berlin Learn about the Persecution of Falun Gong in China

On August 5th, 2006, Berlin practitioners organised an activity to inform people about the persecution of Falun Gong in China on the Breitscheidplatz Square in the centre of Berlin. Breitscheidplatz is located immediately adjacent to the Gedächtniskirche Cathedral, making it a desirable spot for cultural events. Many people pass through it every day.

On that day too, a large cultural event was taking place and loud music was playing. However, we did not let the music deter us and many people came to our stand to find out why Falun Gong is being brutally persecuted. Most people were especially attracted to the harmonious exercises and many watched in fascination. This presented us with a good opportunity to start conversations.
