Sweden: Falun Gong Practitioners Participate in a Health Exhibition in Skvde

On March 24th and 25th, 2007, Falun Gong practitioners attended Skvde's annual health exhibition and set up an information booth in the city’s election hall.

During the two day exhibition, Falun Gong practitioners performed exercise demonstrations five times, each demonstration lasting thirty minutes. There were a lot of visitors who came to the exhibition. They had an opportunity to understand the persecution that Falun Gong practitioners suffered in China. While some of them also spent time learning how to fold paper lotus flowers, some left their names and phone numbers, hoping to learn more about Falun Gong.

Reporters from local newspapers came to the information booth to interview practitioners. They wanted to know the benefits that Falun Gong had brought to practitioners as well as Swedish citizens. Practitioners told them that Falun Gong gives practitioners healthy bodies and promotes their morals so that practitioners become better persons who are beneficial to society and to the country.

In addition, practitioners also explained how the Chinese Communist regime persecutes Falun Gong practitioners in China and the regime’s attempt to extend the persecution to other countries.
