Slovakia: Celebrating Falun Gong Week by Touring Several Cities (Photos)
By a Slovak practitioner
(Clearwisdom.net, September 1, 2003) The week beginning 18th August was Falun
Gong week in Slovakia. Falun Gong practitioners celebrated by visiting several
Slovak cities to introduce the peaceful practice and tell people about the
violent persecution in China. Many people signed a petition to bring dictator
Jiang Zemin, who started the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners, to
justice. Sometimes there was even a queue of people, both young and old, waiting
to sign the petition. One lady from Trnava asked practitioners about the exercises
because she felt a bit skeptical. After an explanation, she left with tears in
her eyes, wishing us all the best. Her disdain for this persecution was
expressed as she signed the petition. In Liptovsky Mikulas, practitioners met the Vice-Mayor of the
city and told him about the persecution of Falun Gong in China. He said that
Liptovsky Mikulas is a tolerant city and will be happy to receive an
introduction to Falun Gong. We arrived in Lucenec during the big city market, so people
from many surrounding villages got to learn the truth about Falun Gong. Many
people stopped and silently watched the exercises or read information about the
persecution. From Slovakia the practitioners continued to Budapest, Hungary,
where they spent the weekend with Austrian practitioners. There was a big street
party happening and many Hungarians took a break from their celebrations to
express their sympathy for the persecuted Falun Gong practitioners. One boy was
so eager that he asked to learn the exercises immediately. The practitioners
went on to peacefully appeal and send forth righteous thoughts at Budapest's
Chinese Embassy in the evening. Source:
