(Clearwisdom.net) Last week, Hungarian, German, Ukrainian and Australian Falun Gong practitioners held activities in Hungary's capital city, Budapest. The activities included a peaceful appeal and press conference at the Chinese Embassy, an introduction of Falun Gong and visits to various media outlets, Embassies and Members of Parliament.
On the day before the press conference, practitioners visited media outlets and explained to the staff about Falun Gong and gave them informational packages, including invitations to the press conference. Many people were moved when they heard how far the practitioners had traveled to let them know the facts of Falun Gong and the persecution.
The press conference was covered by a television station and a Hungarian media agency. A spokesperson from the Hungarian Falun Gong Information Centre commented that, "In the last five years, one thousand practitioners have been tortured to death," and further added, "The Chinese Government has never given a reasonable explanation for the persecution." The Director of Amnesty International in Hungary strongly urged that the "Chinese Government account for its mistakes."
Many passers-by took informational materials, and some stopped and spoke to practitioners. One woman was surprised when she saw how the Chinese Embassy had barricaded itself behind a tall heavy-duty steel fence erected around the entire Embassy complex. One passing cyclist saw practitioners sending forth righteous thoughts and shouted, "Falun Dafa is good! Can anybody hear me? Stop the Persecution!" He also said that it's important for practitioners to be at the Embassy and encouraged them to appeal all the time.
Introducing Falun Gong to the public took place at a train station and the area around Margaret Island to let more locals know about Falun Dafa and the persecution in China.
