UK: Practitioners Hold a Week-Long Anti-Torture Poster Exhibition in Cambridge (Photos) UK: Practitioners Hold a Week-Long Anti-Torture Poster Exhibition in Cambridge (Photos) (Clearwisdom.net) To mark the fifth anniversary of the
Jiang regime's persecution of Falun Gong, on July 20, Falun Gong practitioners
in Cambridge organized a week-long anti-torture poster exhibition entitled
"Persecution Meets Principle" in a local library. On the Friday
evening, practitioners held a candlelight vigil in the city centre to
commemorate Falun Gong practitioners who lost their lives in the Jiang regime's
persecution. They also organized a petition activity to "Bring Jiang to
Justice" in front of the local government building on Saturday. Many people
learned the facts about Falun Gong and the brutal persecution of Falun Gong by
the Jiang regime through this week-long activity.
The public library in Cambridge attracts many people every
day. People who visited the anti-torture exhibition were all shocked and could
not believe that in today's world there is still a government carrying out such
brutal torture. Streams of people came to sign our petition. During the Friday
evening's candlelight vigil, even before we set up our stand, a black lady came
to sign our petition. She told us that she read our leaflet before and was
always thinking of signing our petition to show her support and she got the
chance today. When we were practicing meditation in the candlelight, many
passers-by were moved by the tranquil and solemn atmosphere and stopped to take
a look or even take some pictures. When our activity was about to finish, a
gentleman from the Middle East had a long talk with a practitioner from Iran and
immediately expressed his wish to read Zhuan Falun [the main text of
Falun Gong]. During Saturday's "Bring Jiang to Justice" petition
activity, over forty Chinese students who came to Cambridge for the summer
English course carefully read our poster displays. Falun Gong practitioners
explained to them in great detail about the facts of Falun Gong. Source: http://clearharmony.net/articles/200408/21166.html
