Sweden: Demonstrating Falun Gong Exercises during the Gothenburg Culture Festival

On August 14th 2007, the week-long Cultural Festival began in Sweden’s second largest city, Gothenburg. Falun Gong practitioners demonstrated the five sets of exercises and taught them for free in the Botanical Gardens, where most of the celebration activities were held. The exercise teachings attracted a lot of adults and children alike.

On the first day, a little girl went to the Garden and learned the Falun Gong exercises along with her mother. When going to the garden with her father the following day, she was eager to try the exercises again. As soon as she entered the gate of the Garden and seeing the practitioners, she excitedly exclaimed to her father: “Here they are! Here they are!”

While the little girl was practising the exercises, her father thoroughly read the information exposing the Chinese Communist regime’s brutal persecution of Falun Gong. He told a practitioner: “These exercises are terrific and they are very peaceful. I have seen your demonstration in many cities in recent years, there must be many Swedish people practising Falun Gong.”
