By A Falun Dafa Practitioner in Indiana

(Clearwisdom.net) From June 27 to July 1, 2004, Falun Gong practitioners held an anti-torture exhibition at the Indiana State Capitol in Indianapolis, which was the second stop in the series of exhibitions in the state of Indiana. The 5-day exhibition drew the attention of government officials and staff, as well as visitors. They had the opportunity to look at photos that revealed Jiang regime's brutal persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China. The torture method demonstration by the practitioners was so vivid that it was suggested that we cancel it. Though a little interference, it indicates that the brutal persecution is beyond general people's tolerance.

The following are some stories that occurred during the exhibition.

There was a security guard in the capitol building, whom the practitioners explained the facts to. He said he knew Falun Gong practitioners and US citizen Charles Li were imprisoned in China, but he did not know so many practitioners were persecuted and the persecution was so cruel. During the following days, he greeted the practitioners kindly and often came to look at the poster boards. He even told the practitioners which day government officials would come to the capitol and which day there were more people working in the building. He highly praised the practitioners' exercise demonstration and condemned the Jiang regime's persecution of peaceful practitioners.

A gentleman from Europe doing short-term work in Indiana entered the capitol and viewed the anti-torture exhibition. The practitioners explained the facts of Falun Gong and the brutal persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China. He requested more information and asked the practitioners to teach him the five sets of exercises. Upon trying them, he said he felt great.

A local Chinese person brought another family to visit the capitol and the family had just come to the U.S. from China. He intentionally came forward to look at the poster boards. He told us that he asked his guests to take a look at the popularity of Falun Gong outside of China. He could not understand why Jiang's regime persecutes such kind-hearted people. He stressed again and again that Chinese people should have some belief.

During the five-day exhibition, there were many moving stories. When practitioners gave exercise demos, many people stopped to watch. People who had been talking loudly became quiet upon seeing the serene practice. As more people come to know the greatness of Falun Dafa, Jiang and his followers will be closer to being brought to justice for their crimes in the persecution of Falun Gong.
