  • Slovakia: Practitioners Protest in Front of Chinese Embassy in Bratislava at the New Year

    Falun Gong practitioners in Slovakia celebrated New Year with a peaceful protest at the Chinese Embassy in the capital city of Bratislava. Although the night was cold, the practitioners were not perturbed by this as their hearts were warm with the desire to let the world's people know about the human rights abuses against their fellow practitioners in China.

    All of the Slovak practitioners have benefited greatly from their Falun Gong practice and now enjoy healthy bodies and minds. They live their lives by following Falun Gong principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance; this has changed their entire outlook on life and they have learned to become good people. These great changes left them all the more determined to let people know that Falun Gong is innocent and is being wrongly persecuted by the Communist regime in China.

    As the New Year bells rang, the practitioners looked back on the last six years of human rights abuses against Falun Gong, which began in July 1999. During this time, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has committed countless crimes against Falun Gong practitioners, including:

    The Slovak practitioners hoped that 2006 will be the year when these figures stop rising and the instigators of the human rights crimes against Falun Gong are finally brought to justice. Since July 1999, more and more of the world's people have stepped forward and voiced their concern and sympathy for Falun Gong practitioners. Many of them have heard how the CCP has continually oppressed the Chinese people since it took power over half a century ago, resulting in over 80 million natural deaths. No group has ever been able to withstand the CCP's persecutory means before. But Falun Gong practitioners have done this; their steadfast belief in Truthfulness, Compassion Forbearance has not been tarnished by the horrifying abuses carried out against them by the CCP. People the world over have come to respect and admire this and have joined practitioners in their call for all oppression of Falun Gong practitioners to end immediately.
