Switzerland: Celebrating World Falun Dafa Day in a Rose Garden in Bern (Photos)


By practitioners in Switzerland

(Clearwisdom.net) On May 15, 2005, Swiss Falun Gong practitioners celebrated the 13th anniversary of Falun Gong's introduction to the public and the 6th World Falun Dafa Day.

The day was quite sunny and the Falun Dafa stall in a rose garden in Bern attracted streams of tourists who took leaflets. Many people signed a petition to rescue the mother of a Chinese student who is studying in Switzerland. She has been imprisoned for practicing Falun Gong in China.

A Western practitioner said, "Although many people have already heard that Falun Gong is persecuted in China, they still don't really know what Falun Gong is. On World Falun Dafa Day, we hope people can learn the beauty and splendor of Falun Gong.

On this day that the whole world is celebrating, we are very concerned about practitioners in China. They can't freely study Falun Gong books, practice the exercises and celebrate Falun Dafa Day as we can. They are facing a serious trial at every moment."

Four Swiss practitioners who appealed at the Chinese Liaison Office in Hong Kong in 2002 were celebrating even more than the others. A week ago, Hong Kong's top court overturned convictions against Falun Gong practitioners accused of obstructing the police. The court declared that the police who arrested them were wrong and all the 16 Falun Gong practitioners involved were innocent. The four practitioners were very pleased to hear this and they felt happy for Hong Kong's future. They thank the world's Falun Gong practitioners (especially Hong Kong practitioners) and they are grateful for the support of different people and organizations.

Other than activities to introduce Falun Dafa in the rose garden, practitioners also held three-day group Fa study from Saturday to Monday and held discussions on things and activities taking place recently.
