First Falun Gong Event in Derby, U.K. Is a Huge Success Reported by U. K. practitioner
On Saturday 8th December, U.K. practitioners handed out leaflets
and practiced Falun Gong exercises in Derby. The people of Derby displayed a
keen interest in Falun Dafa with over 3500 flyers being distributed throughout
the day. Upon learning the truth of the persecution and brutal torture of
practitioners in China, Derby's residents were both shocked and appalled. They
asked how such evil deeds could be committed and why such a massive and barbaric
violation of human rights remains unpunished through international law. Many
signatures were added to the petition calling for an end to the persecution in
China. The Mayor of Derby was equally disturbed by the actions of Jiang Zemin's evil
regime. She was touched by a local practitioner's tale of how her sister, who
was imprisoned for practicing Falun Gong in China, was finally freed. The Mayor
of Derby offered one of the council buildings as a site for a future Falun Dafa
exhibition. Thus, the first Falun Gong activity in Derby was received with
enthusiasm, support and concern for the innocent Falun Gong practitioners
persecuted in Mainland China. Posting date: 12/22/2001
