Sweden: Introducing Falun Gong and Exposing the Persecution Taking Place in China

It has been a bleak November in Sweden, with cold wind and drizzling rain. On November 11th, Falun Gong practitioners held an activity in a shopping centre in Skarholmen in Stockholm.

Skarholmen is a famous shopping centre in Stockholm and is a gathering place for immigrants of different races. Things here are cheap and with lots of variety. There are lots of people who come here for shopping at the weekend and many local Chinese people come here for shopping, too. As soon as they leave the subway, the practitioners immediately met many Chinese people and they hurried to hand them leaflets about the practice and the persecution. The practitioners mainly distributed the “Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party” (an editorial published by The Epoch Times newspaper) as well as information about the fifteen million withdrawals from the CCP and related organisations. Some Chinese people expressed that they had read the “Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party” and asked for other material from practitioners.

The practitioners unfolded two banners in the small square and exhibited photos documenting the persecution happening in China. Several practitioners demonstrated the exercises and the others distributed flyers. People were moved by the gentle exercise music and the beautiful exercises and two children learned the exercises there and then. Many people asked for details when hearing that the CCP harvests organs from living Falun Gong practitioners and cremates their bodies to destroy the evidence.

The activity, which lasted all day, provided a good chance for the citizens in the local community to understand Falun Gong and the persecution against Falun Gong by the evil CCP.
