(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Gong practitioners from Gothenburg and nearby
areas carried out activities in downtown Gothenburg three days in row. After
exhibiting a live anti-torture presentation on July 20, which caught the
attention of the public, practitioners continued with the activities on July 21
and July 22. They collected signatures on a petition in support of Falun Gong
and distributed a special flyer to mark the fifth anniversary of the
persecution, with illustrations to reveal and expose the cruel torture methods
used in China on Falun Gong practitioners. The flyer also informed the public about how the persecution has spread
outside China and about the lawsuits against those responsible for the
persecution. It also explained a little about the very serious incident that
recently took place in South Africa, where Falun Gong practitioners were shot at
when they were on their way to prepare lawsuits against two high-ranking Chinese
officials who were visiting South Africa. One practitioner was seriously injured
in both feet as a result of the shooting. The police in South Africa have
classified the incident as attempted murder. There are suspicions as to the
Chinese regime having hired the gunmen to stop the practitioners because they
were frightened that their criminal acts would be exposed to the world. Falun Gong practitioners also demonstrated the five Falun Gong exercises.
They informed the public via loudspeakers about what Falun Gong is, about the
persecution and that they were collecting signatures to stop the persecution in
China. Lead singer Anders from the band, Yellow Express, also sang some songs
and played the guitar. Numerous people showed an interest and asked lots of questions. Many people,
especially the younger ones, came forward to sign the petition. We felt that
many people wanted to support Falun Gong, to bring an end to this terrible
persecution that has been going on for five years. Source:
