(Clearwisdom.net) June 10 was the last day of the G-8 Summit. The atmosphere in Savannah where G8 delegates and media stayed became relaxed, as Falun Gong practitioners' activity in Reynolds Square downtown entered the third day. The serene music, Falun Gong practitioners' meditation, and photo and torture exhibition caught the attention of many media, visitors and local residents during the G-8 summit.

An officer-in-charge from the Savannah city government welcomed Falun Gong practitioners. He said, "After meeting Falun Gong practitioners, I feel that they are very kind people. Their arrival brings positive views to the city."

A Savannah resident, a professor at South Georgia University said, "Falun Gong practitioners have been most eye-catching during the G8 Summit. I have come to the park several times yesterday and today. Their activity is very orderly, especially the torture exhibition. It is unusual and moving."

He said, "It is worth noting that under the tight security of the G8 Summit, Falun Gong practitioners could get such an excellent location and hold such a large-scale activity with so many people involved. They were so serene and peaceful. Falun Gong must have unique characteristics."

Bill, a Savannah Resident and an attorney, said, "Thank you, Falun Gong practitioners for exposing the torture to Savannah residents. We are touched by this exhibition."

His wife added, "As Americans, we should safeguard human rights. We admire Falun Gong practitioners' tolerance and courage. Thank you for coming to Savannah. Good luck."

A Native American Chief from Arizona sat five hours watching the torture exhibition. He said to Falun Gong practitioners, "I represent all Native American tribes people in the U.S. and am a witness to this most evil persecution in human history. So are the Sky, Sun, Moon and Stars. In the divine world, we live on this mother land in harmony and peace. The persecution brings hurt and sorrow to my heart. We wish the great divine nature to be with you and your country together to end this persecution. Let's step onto the beautiful homeward journey."

Across from the G8 Summit location, several dozen Falun Gong practitioners held a torture exhibition and exercise demonstration along the only road to the City of Brunswick.

The police chief of Brunswick showed up for two days and expressed appreciation to Falun Gong practitioners for bringing such important information to Brunswick residents. His wife made a cake for the practitioners to express her appreciation.
