(Minghui.org) Falun Gong practitioners in Bulgaria held a workshop in a large library in Ruse, the fifth largest city in the country, on April 25 and 26, 2015. They introduced the principles of Falun Gong – Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance – to the attendees. The documentary film Free China: The Courage to Believe was screened. The film describes the suffering of Falun Gong practitioners in the persecution in China.

While the workshop was underway, several practitioners held an event in a nearby park to raise awareness and collect signatures to stop the Chinese Communist Party's live organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners.
