Slovak Republic: Over Five Hundred People Sign a Petition Against the Persecution (Photos)
By a practitioner from Slovak
(Clearwisdom.net) A series of activities was held in three Slovak cities: Kosice, Presov and Zilina, to help the Slovak people to learn more about the persecution of Falun Gong in China. The events were held from October 20th to the 22nd. During those three short days, we practitioners could feel the openness of the people and their sympathy for the suffering of others.
Signing petition against the persecution In Kosice, a reporter from a local weekly magazine visited us and told us that he would publish a picture of the gathering together with a short article. In Presov more members of the media arrived, including the daily magazine 24 Hours and a reporter from the East Slovak press agency SITA. The local TV station also came and interviewed several practitioners. The reporter from the TV station was moved and immediately signed our petition against the persecution.
On Saturday, we were welcomed in Zilina by nice weather. Many people stopped by and many of them without further questions approached the petition in order to sign it. Upon being asked whether they knew what they were signing, they said that they already heard about it from the media and that they are against the persecution in China.
Signing petition against the persecution A queue of people frequently formed, waiting to sign our petition. During the three days we gathered approximately six hundred signatures. This petition will join with others we collected previously this year and will be passed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Department of Human Rights, so that during official state visits of Chinese delegations to Slovakia, and Slovak delegations to China, our public officials will know how the public feels and may bring due attention to the question of human rights.
