By a Spanish Falun Gong practitioner

(Clearwisdom.net, March 14, 2004) On March 7, 2004, Falun gong practitioners from Barcelona and Madrid participated in the "Nature and Health Expo" held in the city of Lleida, situated in the Northeastern part of Spain.

With the help of enthusiastic organizers, besides holding two workshops introducing Falun Dafa, practitioners also put up a Falun Dafa exhibition booth on a stretch of open space outside the exhibition hall where visitors must pass by. All kinds of information showing the facts about Falun Gong, including Video-CDs, photos, books and petition forms to show support for the practitioners being brutally persecuted in China, were displayed on the exhibition stand.

Practitioners demonstrated the five sets of Falun Gong exercise movements accompanied by the beautiful exercise music. A lot of visitors stopped to find out more about the exercises. Many people expressed a wish to learn Falun gong after gaining an understanding of the practice. A lady who learned the exercises invited practitioners to hold Falun Gong workshops at her cultural center.

Falun Gong practitioners demonstrate the exercises.

When people saw the display exposing the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China, the scenes shown in the pictures shocked them. They could not believe that such terrible violations of human rights, elimination of freedom of belief, and brutal persecution of innocent people could take place in modern civilized society.

Many people signed petition forms to support the practitioners in China, who are being persecuted. Some people even asked their family members to sign on the forms after they signed.
