UK practitioners

On the Chinese National Day, UK practitioners held truth-clarification and appealing activities in Chinatown and outside the Chinese Embassy in London.

This year, the Chinese National Day and traditional Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival happened to be on the same day; consequently, there were many people walking through Chinatown, and it was very crowded. Practitioners set up a table in the centre of Chinatown and delivered Falun Dafa materials to tourists, local Chinese and western people. This time the situation was different from before, because many people walked up to us asking for materials themselves. They also wanted to know where they could join a practice group. Also many tourists viewed our display area as a tourist spot and took pictures with our activities in the background. There were a few Chinese delegations and navy soldiers passing through Chinatown. Some of them also took our truth-clarification materials and left looking sad and visibly moved.

We delivered a couple of thousand pieces of literature in Chinatown that day. In the afternoon the sky suddenly became covered with thick clouds and it started raining very heavily. Two of the young practitioners were practicing the meditation exercise. They, together with other practitioners, did not pay much attention to the rain and carried on with the exercises quietly for about one and a half hours although they were completely soaked and the weather was chilly. Many passersby were moved by the scene and took pictures one by one.

In the evening we exercised opposite the Chinese Embassy, where a lot of people asked for materials. The Falun Gong Association (UK) sent a petition letter to the Chinese Embassy, which emphasized that the Chinese government's persecution of Falun Gong constituted state terrorism. We urged the Chinese National Congress to really carry out its responsibility and bring Jiang Zemin and Luo Gan, who have promoted this state terrorism, to justice according to the law.
