Denmark: Raising Awareness about the Persecution of Falun Gong at a Cultural Festival in Aarhus

The theme of the annual Culture Week in Aarhus this year was "Open City”. On August 30th, 2008, in Aarhus city centre, a "Falun Gong is good" banner was particularly eye catching in the sunshine. In front of the banner, Falun Gong practitioners demonstrated the Falun Gong exercises and raised awareness about the persecution of the practice in China.

After a Danish person understood the difference between Falun Gong and Tai Chi, and the truth of the persecution of Falun Gong in China, he said that the fact that such cruel things were still happening today in China really made people sad. He said, "I support you."

Among the people from mainland China, many knew the truth about Falun Gong. A young lady said, "I know about the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China, many of my acquaintances and friends in the past had experienced the persecution in a different period, for example, Anti-Rightist, the Cultural Revolution and June 4th 1989 and so on." When she was asked whether she had quit the Communist Party and Youth Group or not, she was happy to answer, she had done this via the internet. She had taken back lots of information to learn more about the situation, of which included the English "Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party" for her husband to understand China's real situation. She thought the evil crime that the Chinese Communists removing organs from live Falun Gong practitioners is so terrible.
