By a Lithuanian practitioner

(Clearwisdom.net) At the beginning of May 2006, Falun Gong practitioners held the "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance" International Art Exhibition in Vytautas University, in the city of Kaunas in Lithuania. Several important Lithuanian politicians attended the art exhibition and condemned the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for its persecution of Falun Gong practitioners.

Mr. Vytautas Landsbergis, the first Lithuanian President and a current member of the European Parliament

After viewing the exhibited works, Mr. Vytautas Landsbergis, the first Lithuanian President and a current member of the European Parliament, stated: "The communist system, in essence, is against human ideology and is an evil to devastate human nature, the foundation on which humans live. This kind of system brings tyranny and causes millions of innocent people to be slaughtered. Humans should bestow kindness to others, but communism was never the soil to breed kindness."

Mr. Pouweilous Yacunix, a member of the Lithuanian Parliament

Mr. Pouweilous Yacunix, a member of the Lithuanian Parliament, said, "The artistic works on display are very touching. Particularly those who have undergone similar experiences are moved to tears."

Mr. Andrius Kubilius, Lithuanian Opposition Party Parliament chair, expressed that Lithuanian people had personally experienced communist tyranny. After its independence, Lithuania started its new life and became a member of the peaceful international community and of the EU.

"A resolution passed by the European Commission condemning communist totalitarianism has equated the crimes committed by the communist system with fascist atrocities. We think that the international community should bring the communist system to justice, just as the Nuremberg Court did to the Nazis," he stated.

Enjoying the Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance International Art Exhibition

The "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance" International Art Exhibition held in Vytautas University coincided with the 13th conference of the Lithuanian Union of Former Political Prisoners and Deportees held in the same university. Invited by the Lithuanian Union, a representative of New Tang Dynasty TV in Latvia delivered a speech at the meeting. In his speech, he introduced the book, the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, which has triggered over ten million people in China to quit the CCP. The representative also discussed the CCP's recently exposed atrocities against Falun Gong practitioners, whose organs were harvested when they are still alive. His statements caused extensive concern among the audience.

On that day, over 600 people present at the meeting also attended the "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance" International Art Exhibition. Falun Gong practitioners' perseverance and unyielding determination depicted in the artistic works earned positive feedback and appreciation among the viewers.
