Geneva: Explaining the Facts to the People of Geneva on the Rue Du Mont Blanc (Photos)
(Clearwisdom.net, March 20, 2004) On the 16th of March 2004, following
the previous day's large-scale appeal outside the UN, the practitioners in the
city clarified the truth about Falun Gong to the people of Geneva. At various
locations around the city, it was arranged for groups of practitioners to
practice the exercises, hand out leaflets and materials and display information
about the persecution. One such location was on Rue Du Mont Blanc, a very busy
street that runs between the main station and the lake. The bright, warm sunny day brought people out of the cafes onto the street
side chairs and tables. The clear view of Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in
Western Europe, from which the street gets its name, was supplemented with the
sight of practitioners performing the serene exercises. The sound of the
exercise music blended with the sound of cars passing by and people chatting
over coffee. People stopped to watch the exercises and many accepted flyers from
practitioners. Many of those who did not accept flyers had already acquired them
from practitioners handing out flyers in other locations in the city. Bright
yellow balloons, saying "Falun Dafa is good" in Chinese and English
were given out in a constant stream to grateful children and parents. Many
people stopped to talk at length about Falun Gong and the persecution and to
inquire about how to learn the exercises. At the information stand, people were
shocked to see the images of the persecution, and many signed a petition
appealing for an end to the persecution. Source: http://www.clearharmony.net/articles/200403/18507.html
