Sweden: Positive Responses to Falun Gong at a Gothenburg Health Fair

Falun Gong practitioners from Gothenburg and nearby areas participated in a Health Fair held on the 14th and 15th of October.

This was the 6th year that Falun Gong practitioners were invited by the organisers. A lot of people received information about Falun Gong and asked questions about the persecution started by the Chinese communist regime in 1999.

We had an information table and at the same time practitioners demonstrated the Falun Gong exercises. During the weekend we also displayed the exercises on the main stage. At the same time, a Falun Gong practitioner informed the audience about Falun Gong. There were quite a lot of visitors to the fair during the weekend. The organiser hade marketed the fair with a lot of advertising and posters that could also be seen on trams in Gothenburg. On the advertisements and posters there was a beautiful and peaceful picture of Falun Gong practitioners performing the sitting meditation exercise. There was also information that Falun Gong practitioners would show the exercises on the main stage during the fair.

We distributed a lot of information about Falun Gong, and also hand-folded paper lotus flowers. There was a little girl at the fair with her mother who also had another booth there. The little girl loved to sit by our information table and fold lotus flowers. We met many people who wanted to know more about Falun Gong and the brutal persecution that is going on in China. We also collected signatures to immediately stop the unbelievable cruel organ harvesting that is happening against live Falun Gong practitioners in China.

Talking about the CCP atrocity, a man who visited the fair said that he believes the law if upheld would solve the problem. A practitioner who has fled China because of the persecution explained to him that in China, the CCP controls all the government resources, and does not obey the law or the constitution. The CCP uses the laws as a tool to repress the Chinese people and illegally launched the persecution of Falun Gong, that is against the constitution and the CCP sends tens of thousands of Falun Gong practitioners into forced labour camps without trial. The CCP is committing the crime of harvesting organs from live Falun gong practitioners, but the law is non-existent regarding this evil crime.

There were also many other participants at the fair who came to our booth and wanted to know more about Falun Gong and the good effects that the practice has on health.
