After the SOS tour of Northern Europe ended in Denmark, Swedish Dafa practitioners went on clarifying the truth in their local cities, calling on the public to end the persecution occurring in China.
On July 21 and 22, 2002, some of the Swedish Dafa practitioners from Gothenburg, who were just back from the SOS trip in North Europe, regardless of the fatigue from their long trip, immediately held a series of activities in our city to inform people of the truth of Falun Gong and the brutal persecution.
Kungsportsplatsen is a place which attracts tourists in the summer. Practitioners held the display of the truth of Falun Gong, and clarified the truth to the travellers. We kept on hearing people yelling out “Falun Gong,” when they went past us. It seemed that everyone knew Falun Gong and Falun Gong practitioners. Because we were short-handed, when we did the exercises, we displayed the materials in front of us. People automatically fetched the materials for themselves. In front of the displays, people streamed back and forth. Some were reading carefully, and some were discussing what they had read.
Some Christians were willing to understand Falun Gong and discuss the issue of the freedom of belief in China.
In what seemed to be sheer coincidence, delegations from different provinces and cities in China went past us one by one. They looked in surprise at the displays and people around us. Every time the practitioners gave them friendly greetings and handed them the materials detailing the truth of Jiang Zemin’s persecution.
Some of them shook their head, some turned their heads away, some smiled and still some recoiled. Each time, Dafa practitioners compassionately persuaded them to cherish this rare chance of realizing the truth. After listening to what the practitioner saying, “You should know the truth. What are you afraid of? You can make your own judgment after reading this”, one of the delegation leaders said, “Fine. Give me one flyer, so that I can know what you say.” After he took the material, other members of the delegation also cautiously took the pamphlets and CDs about the truth.
One delegation with four members watched us doing exercises and discussed this with one another. One Dafa practitioner went to them with the materials of the truth, but they avoided him. The practitioner persuaded them to take the materials back to their hotel and read them. One elder member stopped and talked to the practitioner in a low voice, “We are all officials of the Communist Party, so we can’t take your materials.” The practitioner also asked in a low voice, “Don’t you want to know the truth, even though you are the officials of the Communist Party? Take a look. It will help you realize the truth.” He took the materials of the truth clarification.
On the evening of July 22, many practitioners peacefully appealed and did the Fa Zheng Nian meditation in front of the Chinese Embassy in Gothenburg.
