By an Austrian Dafa Practitioner
(Clearwisdom.net) On April 24, 2004, Austrian Dafa practitioners held
activities in Steven Square, a famous tourist attraction in the center of Vienna
City. The activity was to commemorate the 5th anniversary of the"4.25" peaceful
appeal and to demonstrate the beauty of Falun Dafa, as well as expose the facts
of the Jiang regime's persecution of Falun Gong practitioners over the past five
years or so. Dafa practitioners displayed banners reading "Commemorate '4.25' Peaceful
Appeal," "Global Public Trial of Jiang Zemin," "Bringing Jiang Zemin to
Justice," and a huge banner, with SOS as a backdrop, reading "Rescue Falun Gong
Practitioners Being Persecuted in China" in German. They also prepared flyers in
various languages and distributed them to the tourists from around the world.
Many people asked Dafa practitioners for information on how to learn the
exercises. After learning the facts from Dafa practitioners, those who were
deceived by the lies fabricated by China's media began to learn about what Falun
Gong really is and the persecution. All the Chinese tourists passing by looked at the banners and display boards.
Some of them also accepted flyers from practitioners. After looking at the
display boards, a Westerner approached a Chinese practitioner and asked very
excitedly, "What should we do to help those Chinese under persecution?" An
elderly couple told the practitioners: "Such peaceful exercises would by no
means pose any threat to the Chinese government. What you are doing is nothing
more than meditation. In my view, it's simply a problem with Jiang Zemin's
mental situation." Some tourists from Italy, after realizing the facts, said to
us, "We support you. You've done a good job. Take care!"
