Finland: Telling People the Facts and Supporting the Lawsuit Against Dictator Jiang (Photos)
(Clearwisdom.net) The summer months in Finland have arrived and, as
usual, this has resulted in numerous different festivals and events taking place
around the country. This provides many good opportunities for practitioners to
introduce Falun Dafa to the Finnish people, and inform them of the recent
developments around the world regarding Falun Gong, such as the genocide
lawsuits against the Chinese dictator, Jiang Zemin. Below are a few stories from
a couple of events Finnish practitioners have attended so far.
From April 25th to 27th, The Ostrobothnian Trade Fair was
held in Vaasa. Finnish practitioners participated throughout the three days, and
introduced Falun Dafa to the people attending the fair. Thousands of people
witnessed the peacefulness of Falun Dafa, and had a chance to learn about the
practice and issues relating to the persecution of in China.
On May 17th and 18th, an event called "The World Village
Festival" was held in Helsinki. The purpose of the festival was to "offer a
window on multicultural Finland" and to provide the visitors a chance to "find
out about a broad range of development and global issues" from "150 NGOs that
will be on hand to introduce visitors to a vast range of concerns, including
different cultures, development work, globalization, human rights, etc." So this
was a perfect opportunity to tell more people about the unlawful persecution of
Falun Gong in China. Lots of people were fascinated by the exercises and
peaceful atmosphere that was surrounding the Falun Gong practitioners' stall.
They wanted to know more and practitioners later received many phone calls
asking about local practice sites, where people can learn the Falun Gong
exercises for free.
On June 14th, Finnish Falun Gong practitioners gathered in
Turku to introduce Falun Dafa at the central market square. Throughout the day,
many passers-by stopped by and formed a large crowd. People watched the
practitioners performing the exercises, and read the large information boards
about Falun Gong, and the persecution in China. Many people signed the petition
and expressed how they found such a persecution inconceivable.
