May is the busy tourist season in Austria. While celebrating World Falun Dafa Day, practitioners raised awareness about the nine year persecution of Falun Gong to local residents and tourists from all over the world. After learning about the truth, many signed the practitioners’ petition to condemn the persecution and some also expressed their interest in learning the exercises of Falun Gong.
A young Chinese lady told the reporter that she came to Austria about one year ago and her husband installed a satellite receiver for her to watch the programmes of the New Tang Dynasty TV. “From the programs I learned that there were numerous practitioners in China meditating in parks in China and the situation changed after July 1999. I didn’t know there is such a brutal persecution happening in China, it is really sad.”
In recognition of the positive social impacts of Falun Gong, Austrian congresswomen Brigid Weizinger and Petra Bayr wrote respectively to the Austrian Falun Gong Association to congratulate the practitioners on World Falun Gong Day.
