Czech and Slovak Practitioners Peacefully Memorialize the Victims of Persecution in China

By Dafa practitioners Czechoslovakia and Slovakia

(Clearwisdom.net) During the weekend of October 19 2002, a group of practitioners from different countries introduced Falun Dafa to the public in the capital of the Czech Republic and gathered in front of the Chinese Embassy to join Falun Dafa activities around the world during Jiang's visit to the USA.

On the rainy, chilly Saturday we brought the peace of the traditional Chinese cultivation way to the very center of Prague in Wenceslav Square. As we were doing the Falun Gong exercises, many people stopped and quietly watched the scene. Some of them approached us with questions. There were also some people who showed interest and wanted to learn the exercises. We handed out many German and English leaflets to foreign tourists. One elderly Chinese man came and asked us why we were there, and after our explanation he smiled and said, "You are doing a good thing."

Sunday turned out to be a nice sunny day. We set up along the wall opposite to the Chinese Embassy with pictures of victims who were persecuted to death by the Jiang regime. This formed a sharp contrast to the gentle exercises. One local television station came to interview and film us. They spend almost an hour there, interviewing each of us. As an answer to their question if the protest can turn violent, we said, "We always follow our principles -- peace is always stronger than violence." They left with a smile on their faces. We were trying to spread the goodness around us, and reach the heart and minds of all people.

In the coming week we will continue our peaceful appeals and call upon kind people to help end the evil persecution of Falun Gong in China.
