Belgium: Introducing Falun Gong at the Himalayan Culture Expo By Belgian Dafa practitioner (Clearwisdom.net) On May 24, Belgium Dafa practitioners were invited to
attend the annual Himalayan Culture Expo in Antwerp for the second year in a
row. Because of their grace and Dafa's goodness, practitioners made a good
impression on the hosts in 2002 and as a result, they received a direct
invitation this year. The Antwerp branch of Amnesty Internationals also attended the Expo with the
hope of having more people sign their petition against Chinese citizens being
sentenced and jailed for publishing their views on the Internet. Amnesty
employees stated that the Internet in China is being strictly controlled and
monitored and this has led to the internet police in China brutally persecuting
people who express their opinions online. The basic human rights of freedom of
speech and freedom of information are being trampled on. They said that this is
no different from what is happening to Falun Gong practitioners who are still
being cruelly persecuted. Amnesty are also doing their best to appeal for Falun
Gong practitioners and to provide help to them. They hope that their continued
efforts can lead to an eventual improvement in the human rights situation in
China. At the Expo, people were attracted by the videos that Falun Gong
practitioners were showing, such as the exercise demonstration video in which
Master Li teaches the 5 exercises as well as the video in which Falun Gong's
worldwide popularity is shown. People came in droves to ask questions and
expressed their willingness to support Falun Gong by signing the letters of
appeal. One couple were very interested in the practice and spent a long time
watching the exercise demonstration video; they also understood about our
activities to spread Falun Gong and asked practitioners many questions. Many
visitors bought either Falun Gong or Zhuan Falun and wanted to do
the exercise on the exercise spot. Practitioners were happy to see those people
with predestined relationships with Dafa. Posting date: 6/15/2003
