Norway: Falun Gong Photo Exhibition Held at the Main Library in Oslo (Photos) (Clearwisdom.net) From December 5 2002 to February 1 2003, the main
library in Oslo (Deichmanske bibliotek, hovedbiliotek) held a Falun Gong photo exhibition. The
pictures detailed the spread of Falun Gong to over 50 countries and the enormous benefits it has
brought to over 70 million practitioners. They also showed the crimes against humanity that have
occurred in China under Jiang's orders to persecute Falun Gong. The pictures were displayed on the third floor of the library and illustrated the introduction of
Falun Gong to the public, the efforts to rescue fellow practitioners in China and support from
government officials and organizations such as Amnesty International. Large posters of practitioners performing the Falun Gong exercises and 2 large red banners with
the words "Falun Dafa" and "The World needs Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance"
on them drew the attention of the public and created a colorful, serene background. After looking at the exhibition, one man told practitioners that he knew about Falun Gong and the
persecution, but he was not aware that the Chinese government was initially so supportive of Falun
Gong due to its positive effects on health and morality. He also did not know about the many
positive reports about Falun Gong that were published in the Chinese media before the persecution
began. Near the library's reception area, an information board was set up to inform the public about the
photo exhibition on the third floor. There were also flyers in both Norwegian and Chinese for the
public to take. Through this exhibition, many people have come to know Falun Gong and some have also
come to the exercise site in Oslo. February 1 2003 was the final day of the exhibition and also the first day of Chinese New Year.
It was celebrated in the library with dancing, singing and introducing different aspects of Chinese
culture and traditions to the public. Article from: http://clearharmony.net/articles/200302/10413.html Posting date: 2/20/2003
