On June 30, practitioners in Russia held an event to call for "SOS! Urgent: Rescue the Falun Gong Practitioners Persecuted in China" in downtown St. Petersburg. The whole event lasted for five hours. Thousands of people were given literature and heard the truth of the persecution from the practitioners. Many people had never heard of this before. We could feel the shock to their hearts after they heard about the bloody persecution in China and the great compassion and forbearance Chinese practitioners have manifested while facing the persecution.

Many of the tourists came from China. From the eagerness on their faces when they received the truth-clarifying materials, we could tell how hard it is to learn the truth in China.

For five hours, the practitioners kept doing the exercises, and the peaceful scene deeply attracted people.
