By an Estonian Falun Dafa practitioner

(Clearwisdom.net) From the 16th to the 17th of April 2005, Falun Dafa practitioners from Estonia, Latvia, and Finland attended a health expo in the Estonian capital city of Tallinn. They demonstrated the five sets of Falun Gong exercises and told people about Falun Gong and the human rights abuses that practitioners in China are suffering under the current persecution.

The practitioners also practiced the exercises and handed out leaflets in the park between Tallinn's old neighborhood and the Viru Hotel. On April 16, the weather was windy and gloomy. However, the sun came out at noon and warmed up the city. The next day, the weather was sunny and spring was in the air. To accompany this outdoor activity, the practitioners displayed the "Journey of Falun Dafa" photo exhibition. Passers-by looked at the photos with great interest and many learned the exercises immediately.

The photos in the exhibition showed how Falun Gong attracted 100 million practitioners since its public introduction in 1992, to the point that it is now practiced in over 60 countries. The photos also revealed how the Falun Gong practitioners in China and overseas resisted the current persecution in China with peaceful persistence after Jiang Zemin and the Chinese Communist Party officially began persecuting them in 1999. The abuses against practitioners are still continuing, with over 1,800 documented deaths. Human rights workers have recorded over 38,000 cases of torture or severe abuse against practitioners in official custody.
