(Clearwisdom.net) September 7, 2008, was a pleasant weekend in Sweden, the air was fresh after a light rain. Several Swedish practitioners made it to the Vasa Museum, a famous tourist attraction in Stockholm, to introduce Falun Gong to the tourists from different places around the world and expose the Chinese Communist regime's cruel persecution of Falun Gong practitioners.

After watching the demonstration of the relaxing and peaceful Falun Gong exercises done to the exquisite music, a middle aged Swedish couple, Malou and Jern, were horrified by the photos of the cruel persecution on the display boards. They turned to a practitioner and asked, "Is it (referring to the persecution) true?" They were dumbfounded by the truth.
The couple live in Stockholm and just happened to pass the activity when they were out taking a stroll. Jern said that he did know something about China's human rights situation, but he thought that China had undergone tremendous changes in recent years and that things there were getting better. He and his wife like China very much and wanted to visit the country in the near future.
Overhearing their conversation, Torbjorn, a Western practitioner, chimed in to clear up their confusion about China and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Torbjorn explained that the CCP is not China and that it is the Chinese regime that has perpetrated the atrocities against Falun Gong, including the harvesting of organs from living practitioners. Malou was so shocked and indignant that she turned to the booth and signed the petition right away. She also condemned the regime for its cruel persecution of peaceful Falun Gong practitioners. Right she signed, she turned around and handed the pen to her husband, who was talking to a practitioner, so he could follow suit.
Practitioners used many facts to debunk the lies fabricated by the Chinese regime to deceive people around the world. They also told the couple that, under CCP rule, all that China's propaganda machine has done is to cover up the regime's atrocities.
Jern nodded repeatedly and said, "I finally understand the real situation, and it seems that I was wrong." He signed the petition against the persecution of Falun Gong and accepted several different pieces of truth-clarification material before leaving along his wife.
In addition to this couple, others learned the fact sabout Falun Gong and the persecution, including some tourists from China and other places around the world.
