Norway: Raising Awareness about the Persecution of Falun Gong Despite Wind and Snow

From September 26th, with the exception of Sunday, two Norwegian Falun Gong practitioners went to the Chinese Embassy in Oslo every day, where they performed the Falun Gong exercises and distributed leaflets to protest against China's brutal persecution of Falun Gong.

The people who pass here are usually on their way to work, such as the Embassy staff, as well as the early morning elderly walkers who every day exercise for the good of their health and stop to talk to practitioners during activities outside the Embassy.

Some people come to look at the panels and some collect Falun Gong material, the car drivers deliberately slow down and some give the thumbs sign up out of the window to express their understanding and support and some specially come to send greetings.

On October 29th it was snowing heavily. A set of exercises had not been finished; the heavy snow had covered the panels. The passers-by began to speed up their pace faster than before, but, when they heard the peaceful exercise music and saw the Falun Gong practitioners exercising in the snow, they could not help slowing down their pace and being touched by the gritty spirit of Falun Gong practitioners protesting against the persecution of Falun Gong by the Chinese Communist Party.
