Austria: Anti-Torture Exhibition in Vienna Touches People's Hearts (Photos)
By an Austrian practitioner
(Clearwisdom.net) Austrian Falun Gong practitioners held an
anti-torture exhibition in Stevens Square in Vienna's city center on Saturday
the 2nd of October to expose the Jiang group's cruel persecution of Falun Gong
practitioners. Stevens Square is famous for St. Steven's cathedral, which is a
landmark in Vienna. Tourists from all over the world will visit this location
during their stay in Austria.
People were shocked upon seeing the cruel methods of torture that are being
used in attempts to force Falun Gong practitioners to give up their beliefs in
China. They could not believe that such a thing could be happening in the world.
When people watched the demonstration of the Falun Gong exercises, they were
even more shocked. The strong contrast between the torture methods and the
serene and gentle exercises made it hard to comprehend why Jiang ordered his
ruthless campaign of genocide against this peaceful practice. People asked
practitioners for detailed information on the persecution. Many residents in
Vienna wanted to find out how to learn Falun Dafa. A lot of people signed their
names on a petition signature form and wished practitioners success in their
efforts to raise awareness and bring an end to this persecution. An elderly Austrian lady told practitioners that she had read a newspaper
about the persecution happening in China six months ago. She not only read it
seriously by herself, but also gave it to her friends. She said that there are
many bad things happening in the world today, but those who practice Falun Gong
are being persecuted only because they believe in improving themselves so this
persecution is too evil. There were some local western people who could speak
Chinese. They discussed what is happening in China with practitioners in
Chinese. Some Chinese people asked practitioners for leaflets. They were shocked
that such a terrible thing was happening in China. The weather forecast said it would rain that day. Practitioners' activity
ended at five in the afternoon. It was sunny when they held the activity, and
only after the activity ended at five did it start to rain heavily.
