Romanian Falun Gong practitioners held a rally in Plumbuita Park in Bucharest, Romania, on July 13, 2014, to protest the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) persecution of Falun Gong.

Prague's Old Town Square, an historic location that has witnessed defining events in the history of the Czech Republic, saw Falun Gong practitioners rally, parade and collect signatures on July 19.

Falun Gong practitioners from all over Europe held a series of events in downtown Madrid to raise awareness of the suppression of Falun Gong in China. The events included a rally in the afternoon on October 3 and a march, rally and candlelight vigil on October 4.

“I hope that the march helps more people discover the beauty of the practice and learn about the brutal persecution in China,” said Mr. Zaccaro, an Italian who resides in Frankfurt, Germany. He has been a member of the European Divine Land Marching Band for two years and plays the trumpet.

After talking to practitioners at the event, many tourists discovered that they had been misled by the Chinese regime's propaganda while in their home country, where Falun Gong is brutally persecuted.

The 2014 European Falun Dafa Cultivation Experience Sharing Conference was held in Madrid, Spain, on October 5, 2014. Master Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Dafa, sent a greeting, encouraging practitioners to learn from each other and remain diligent.

Mr. Xuan Chengxi, a 61-year-old farmer from Shandong, was beaten to death a few hours after he was arrested on October 12th, 2000. Falun Gong practitioners have been killed every month since the Communist regime started the persecution on July 20th 1999.

Hundreds of Falun Gong practitioners from 35 countries in Europe gathered in front of the embassy to raise awareness of the Chinese regime's persecution of Falun Gong. They called for efforts to bring Jiang Zemin and others involved in the persecution to justice. They also did the exercises together.

Falun Gong practitioners from over 30 countries in Europe held a parade in Madrid, Spain on October 4, 2014. The parade opened a window to the real China, one that most people have limited access to: a country with a splendid traditional culture, the birthplace of a beautiful and profound spiritual practice that has spread all over the world, yet which is persecuted in its country of origin.

Falun Gong practitioners from over 30 European countries gathered in front of the Chinese embassy in Madrid to raise awareness about atrocities taking place in China, in particular the forced organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners.

Falun Gong was first introduced to Spain in 1997 and first appeared at the World and Americas Expo held in Madrid. The books Falun Gong and Zhuan Falun were published in Spanish in 2001 and 2002. More and more people started practising Falun Gong in the ensuing years.

Locals and tourists in the German cities of Kassel, Ulm and Hanover had the opportunity to encounter Falun Gong practitioners over several August weekends and learn about the persecution in China – in particular, the forced organ harvesting of prisoners of conscience, mainly Falun Gong practitioners.

“I like these paintings very much. The painters are great artists. I have visited China, and I thought China was developed. But I did not know about the persecution of Falun Gong or the live organ harvesting taking place there,” said a gentleman from Egypt after viewing the Art of Zhen, Shan, Ren International Exhibition held in Kiev, Ukraine, from August 1 to 20, 2014.

August 20 was Hungary National Day. The host of the National Day celebrations invited the European Divine Land Marching Band to participate in the parade. This was the second time the band has been invited to join the annual event.

Over 1,300,000 people attended Kulturkalaset, the largest arts festival in Gothenburg from August 12-17, 2014. Among them, many people were excited to learn about the peaceful meditation practice of Falun Gong.
