UK: Clarifying the Truth to Amnesty International's Branch in Glasgow University
By a UK practitioner
(Clearwisdom.net) Last month, I met the president of Amnesty
International's branch in Glasgow University at its monthly meeting. I asked him
whether we could introduce Falun Gong to them. He thus invited us to make a
presentation at the branch's weekly meeting, and said that we should prepare a
poster introducing the content of the meeting on the campus beforehand. That
day, four Dafa practitioners living in Glasgow attended the meeting with some
Chinese and English VCDs, fliers, newspapers, pamphlets, and A1/A3-size viewing
boards introducing the cruel torture practitioners in China have suffered and
Falun Dafa's activities around the world. Among the 20 students attending the
meeting, one was from Mainland China.
We first briefly introduced the history of Falun Gong, the
persecution in Mainland China and the rescue activities launched by overseas
practitioners, etc. And then we played the videotape of the SOS-Urgent Rescue
activities. It was a pity that we were not able to demonstrate the exercises to
them as planned due to time constraints. Finally we mentioned the issue
concerning the enactment of Article 23 of the Basic Law in Hong Kong, and all
the participants signed their names on a petition letter. After the meeting was
adjourned, all the students received the VCDs and newspapers. We also encouraged
them to take some Chinese-version VCDs and newspapers for their Chinese
classmates and friends. Some students were interested in Falun Gong. We kept in
touch with the president, and he invited us to demonstrate the exercises at
another meeting. We are planning to contact Amnesty International's other
branches in universities in Glasgow and spread Falun Dafa to them.
I especially paid attention to the student from Mainland
China. I gave him some Chinese-version VCDs and newspapers. He told me that he
was from Beijing and both of his parents are government officials. When asking
him to mail the VCDs to his parents, he said that they have understood the real
situation of Falun Gong. He also said that his mother once told him about the
situation China's past President Liu Shaoqi encountered in the time of the Great
Cultural Revolution.
