Finland: The People of Assen Sign their Names in Support of Falun Gong

On May 17th, 2008, Finnish Falun Gong practitioners held an activity in Assen. Assen is the most quickly developing city in Drenthe province in the northern part of Finland. Practitioners displayed banners and distributed leaflets calling on people to come to the petition table and sign their names in support of Falun Gong practitioners and demanding an end to the CCP’s persecution. Practitioners also displayed the five peaceful and gentle exercises of Falun Gong.

After seeing the images of Falun Gong practitioners experiencing persecution by the CCP on the banners and moreover after coming to understand how the CCP engaged in the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners who believe in “Zhen, Shan, Ren” (“Truth – Compassion – Tolerance”), many people signed their names on the petition. The signatures from the activity this time were part of the “Millions of Signatures” activity and these signatures all cried out for justice and demanded that the CCP immediately stop persecuting Falun Gong.
