Sweden: Falun Gong Practitioners Invited to Participate in an Anti-Torture Parade Organized by Amnesty International (Photos)


By a Swedish practitioner

(Clearwisdom.net) On World Human Rights Day, 10th December, Amnesty International Gothenburg branch held an anti-torture parade and a candlelight vigil. Falun Gong practitioners from Gothenburg and the surrounding cities were invited to take part in the parade. This is the third time that Falun Gong practitioners attended the annual World Human Rights Day activities organized by Amnesty International.

The parade started at 7:00pm from Gothenburg University, passed through the busy commercial avenues and slowly arrived at the intended destination - Kungsportsplatsen. The representatives from Amnesty International Gothenburg branch and Gothenburg University human rights research institute gave speeches.

Falun Gong practitioners hung boards in front of their chests detailing the suffering and the persecution of practitioners in China, which attracted the people's and Amnesty International members' attention. Many people inquired about the current situation of Falun Gong practitioners in China. After learning the truth from Falun Gong practitioners, a member of Amnesty International asked for a display board and hung it in front of his chest to express his condemnation towards the persecution and to support Falun Gong practitioners.

Finally, participants formed a big candle with many small candles in the square to express the concern of the human rights violations in the world.
