Budapest, Hungary: Mourning the Deaths of Over Three Thousand Practitioners (Photos)


By a Hungarian practitioner

(Clearwisdom.net) To mark eight years since the CCP persecution of Falun Gong began, local practitioners held a protest on July 20th at the Chinese Embassy in Budapest. Although it happened to be a weekday, many passersby stopped and read the posters.

When the police asked practitioners to show their ID, practitioners took time to chat to the officers, explaining why they were appealing on this particular day. Both officers left wishing the practitioners good luck.

During the few hours that the practitioners were there, many passers-by stopped and read the posters. Practitioners gave them leaflets and explained what Falun Gong is and why it is being persecuted. They were most surprised upon learning that prior to the persecution, the CCP had supported and even financially sponsored Falun Gong events in China and abroad.

A passerby stopped, read the information and was sad to see that this kind of brutality is happening in the 21st century. He said that there was a similar situation experienced by religious followers back in the former Soviet Union regime. He said that on the surface the Communist leadership presented an image of democracy, while in fact it was a tyrannical dictatorship.

Practitioners read a statement over loudspeakers to reach the Embassy staff inside. Many cars slowed down and watched. Practitioners took advantage of the moment to hand out fliers.

Some Embassy staff came outside during the event to see what was going on. The Ambassador also came out and had a very surprised look on his face while he eavesdropped on practitioners' discussions with passersby.

During the entire time there was a Hungarian undercover policeman watching practitioners. At the end of the activity he came out of his car, revealing himself. He wished practitioners the best in their efforts to stop the persecution.
