A Falun Dafa practitioner talks about the Chinese Communist Party atrocities

The tour started from Klagenfurt City, a university city and capital of the province, on June 26, 2010. Falun Dafa practitioners set up a booth at a plaza in the downtown area. The event attracted many people on the square who were walking, sipping coffee, and shopping. One practitioner introduced the CCP atrocities over the public address system. Many people were shocked at CCP's violations of human rights and came to the booth to sign their names in support of Falun Gong.

A student read from the book "Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party" in German. She said the material was very valuable.

The vice mayor of the city sent a congratulatory letter to the Falun Dafa Information Day organizers. In the letter, the vice mayor said it is a crime to deprive people of freedom, and force them to live and believe in certain ways. He also encouraged the Austria Falun Dafa Association to continue doing well in clarifying the truth.
