Norway: Promoting Falun Gong at the Annual Alternative Health Fair

After their success at the 2001 Alternative Health Fair, Falun Gong practitioners were invited to attend the 2002 Alternative Health Fair in Oslo. This is a large event that ran for three days from Friday 15th to Sunday 17th of November. The Falun Gong stand had enough space for an exhibition and demonstration of the Falun Gong exercises.

Every day practitioners held an introductory session in a large room nearby where they spent an hour teaching the Falun Gong exercises. They also told the audience about the horrific persecution that is taking place in China at the moment and how millions of innocent Falun Gong practitioners are being persecuted because they want to improve their health and moral standards. Many of the audience also asked questions. After the fair, practitioners held a set of two-hour introductory seminars that were attended by many people.
