Italy: Celebrating Falun Dafa Day

On May 13th, Falun Gong practitioners in Italy separately gathered in Rome and Milan to celebrate the 8th Falun Gong Day and extend their wishes and thanks to the founder of the practice, Mr. Li Hongzhi. Introduced in 1992, Falun Gong has benefited over one hundred million practitioners around the world, so practitioners wish more people could share this good news.

Over the past eight years of the cruel persecution against Falun Gong inflicted by the Chinese Communist regime, Falun Gong cultivators, based on the principles of truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance, peacefully protested and raised awareness about Falun Gong, so that more and more people knew the persecution is so brutal and Falun Gong is so beautiful.

On Sunday morning, crowds of people came to pay homage and they stopped to read the exhibition boards and to get information about Falun Gong.

Many citizens in Milan were shocked when they heard about the horrible, violent persecution.
Near the ancient castle downtown of Milan, Falun Gong practitioners in northern regions organised a campaign of commemoration. They demonstrated group exercises and exposed the persecution so that more and more people could have the opportunity to acquire the good news Falun Gong.
