Germany: Raising Awareness about Falun Gong in Two Cities in Nordrhein-Westfalen

On July 5th, 2008, practitioners held activities in Düsseldorf and Mülheim in Nordrhein-Westfalen, German. They raised awareness about what Falun Gong is, and informed local people about the cruel persecution of Falun Gong practitioners by the Chinese Communist Party during the past nine years.

Local people expressed support for the activity. They came and signed the petition to condemn the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong one after another. They also expressed their concern about recent news concerning the Eutalstat Company closing the satellite broadcasts of the New Tang Dynasty TV programmes into mainland China. The company claimed it was a technical error, when in fact was due to threats and bribes by the CCP. They hoped that New Tang Dynasty TV would be able to broadcast into China again as soon as possible. They also appealed to the Eutalstat Company not to give up their consciences and dignity.

After learning the truth, lot of Mülheim people not only signed the petition condemning the persecution, but also wanted to learn about Falun Gong.
