Denmark: 6th Stop of the SOS Tour of Northern Europe - Copenhagen

The 19th of July was a sunny day in Copenhagen. Dafa practitioners from Sweden, Norway and Denmark marched in a parade from the "konglige Nytorv" to "Nytorv" by Ströget (a major road). Journalists from a newspaper, an Internet magazine and an Icelandic radio/TV station accepted an invitation to attend the parade and speak to the practitioners.

The politician Viggo Fischer, ex-member of the "Konservative Folkeparti" party, made a very beautiful speech in which he condemned the Chinese regimes' persecution of Falun Gong. Among other things, he revealed that he was present in Vienna when China signed treaties concerning Human Rights and that he could see China did not respect them now. Furthermore he made a comparison between Jiang Zemin and Pinochet, Milosevic, Galtieri and Honnecker and deemed that the Chinese leaders will also soon receive their judgment.

After the parade we spent the whole afternoon at "Nytorv" by "Ströget", where many people pass by. Many people got to know the truth about the persecution and the practice of Falun Gong. Some even wanted to learn the exercises on the spot. Australian practitioner Dai Zhizen told many people about how her family was broken apart after her husband was tortured to death in China and her sister-in-law was put in a forced labour camp. Her father-in-law died of grief when he learnt what had happened to his daughter and son. Dai was left alone to raise her then 14 months old baby.

In the evening there was a candlelight vigil in front of the city hall. On the following day, we again appealed outside the Chinese Embassy at Nytorv, Ströget.
