Reported by Swedish practitioners

6-7^th October 2001

For the second year in a row, Falun Gong practitioners, from the province of Värmland were invited to the annual Health Expo in the city of Karlstad.

They contributed by showing the five sets of exercises and by talking about Falun Gong. An informative photo exhibition about the persecution was shown. The pictures showed the violence directed at the practitioners. For instance, pictures of tortured practitioners were displayed. The pictures were accompanied with facts and information about the Chinese regime's severe violation of human rights.

The visitors could not understand why such a peaceful and serious cultivation-method could be persecuted to such an extent. The practitioners explained that the number of people practising Falun Gong outnumbered the members of the Chinese ruling party, and therefore maybe it was, therefore, looked upon as a threat. But Falun Gong is a way for cultivating oneself and includes no politics or religion. Nor is there any pursuit for power or control. The persecution is therefore based upon evil and fear without precedent, from within the ruling party.

Many people caught a glimpse of the truth about Falun Gong and several people wanted to come to learn for themselves.

Because of the noble message of Falun Gong and the fact that there is no fee, the organiser offered us the spot for free. It was a great spot, right next to the main entrance, so no visitor could miss seeing the photo exhibition and hearing the beautiful Falun Gong music.
