(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Gong practitioners participated in the annual
Cultural Festival of Ashfield, Sydney on Oct. 9, 2005. They were warmly received
by local residents, who bought Falun Dafa books, inquired about group exercise
sites, signed their names to denounce the persecution and condemned Australian
Minister for Foreign Affairs Downer for allowing the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP)
persecution of Falun Gong to go on in Australia. A lady who works at Sydney
University took some truth-clarification materials and post cards calling for
Prime Minister Howard to help stop the persecution. She said she would give them
to her colleagues and friends.
Ashfield has a large Chinese community. Influenced by the CCP's lies about
Falun Gong, many Chinese don't dare to be in contact with and even became
hostile towards Falun Gong practitioners. With the Falun Gong practitioners'
persistent effort of truth-clarification, more Chinese took materials to find
out the benefit of Falun Dafa and facts of the persecution this year. The Falun
Gong practitioners' collective efforts made this activity a success.
