A picture exhibition depicting the background to Falun Gong, as well as the demonstration of Falun Gong exercises attracted many people’s attention. “I don’t know much about Falun Gong, but your exercises and leaflets attract me very much, let me read them through.”

People were read the information on the display boards to learn about the truth of the CCP’s brutal persecution of Falun Gong | |
Many passers-by were shocked by the truth of the persecution, “The suppression in China surprises me very much indeed, why do they suppress Falun Gong? I simply cannot understand whey they do this”, “They must release all imprisoned people immediately, let them do what they want to do, this is nothing to do with politics, but just sitting in meditation, why is it forbidden?”
“I am really speechless, I looked at one side of the leaflet, it is so beautiful. Then a lady told me to turn over and read another side of the leaflet, it’s too terrible, such a persecution is still existing and happening. I cannot understand it at all, how could such brutal things be done? It is not allowed no matter in China or other places in the world.”
The Voorberg Falun Gong exercise site was established less than half a year ago, every week practitioners gather there to do the exercises and study the principles of Falun Dafa together. Ms Yunfang said that, “most of practitioners on our exercise site are Dutch practitioners, they feel unusually good after doing the exercises, not only the big changes in their bodies, no longer any sickness, colds, or get a fever as they used to, but also the even bigger changes of their minds. Every time they study Zhuan Falun [the main text of Falun Dafa] after doing the exercises, they then follow the principle of “Truthfulness Compassion and Tolerance” in their everyday’s life, therefore the changes in their minds are even bigger.”
Mr Hu, the vice president of the Dutch Falun Gong Association, said that "we have very many new people who started to practice, we arouse common people's conscience and they want to stop the persecution; On the other hand from the common people and the government aspect, they have more and more positive responses, more support and the people’s initiative adopts the moves to condemn this persecution."
