Founder of "Upplysning of Kommunismen" Mr. Anders Hjemdahl speaks at the rally.

Founder of "Upplysning of Kommunismen" Mr. Anders Hjemdahl organized the rally. In his speech, he said that Chinese people need support just like those of the Baltic countries after the fall of the Soviet Union. "The Chinese people have suffered a long time, and China has such a large population, their freedom is the most important thing in the world."

Mr. Hjemdahl went to United States to accept an award last year and saw a large rally and march held by Falun Gong practitioners. He was very touched so he invited the Falun Dafa Association to this event. "(We) need to let more people be aware of Chinese Communist Party's atrocities," he said, "The Chinese people need freedom."

Laury Weljah is a student from a college in Stockholm and she couldn't understand why the CCP uses such brutal methods to torture the Falun Gong practitioners. She talked to some practitioners for a long time and took a copy of the Nine Commentaries. She became interested in Falun Gong and said she would look into it more deeply online.
