Denmark: People of Denmark Support Falun Gong

Shortly after their nationwide car tour in Denmark, Falun Gong practitioners of Copenhagen continued their endeavours to protest against the persecution. On August 2 2009, at Axeltorv Square, practitioners introduced Falun Gong, a cultivation practice based on Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, and exposed the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) ten-year-long persecution of the practice.

In August, the weather in Denmark is very mild. A lot of people came to Axeltorv Square over the weekend. A young man looked at the display boards and couldn't understand why the CCP wanted to persecute Falun Gong. A practitioner told him that practitioners believe in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and that there were more than 100 million practitioners in China before 1999. Because the Communist Party is against tradition and human nature, it could not tolerate a group of people that believe in Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, thus starting the persecution of Falun Gong in 1999. In the ten long years of persecution, the Party has even been responsible for harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners for profit. The young man was horrified and said it was a human rights violation. Understanding the truth, he signed the petition form and said, "I support you!"

People who have lived in communist countries have a better understanding of the CCP. Several people from Poland looked at the display boards and immediately understood what was happening in China, because they know the Communist Party will do unthinkable things. They were very sympathetic to the people being persecuted and solemnly signed their names in support.

Two young girls came to look at the pictures. A practitioner told them about Falun Dafa. Pointing to a picture of Ms. Gao Rongrong, whom the Chinese policemen shocked with electric batons all over her face, the practitioner told the girls that Ms. Gao was tortured and died in police custody. The girls were very shocked and later took a photo in front of the picture.

An old couple from Israel came to look at the pictures. They didn't understand why practitioners were at the square, so they asked a lot of questions. A practitioner told them that the CCP is a dictator in China, and it wants to control people's thoughts and doesn't allow people to have other beliefs. The couple then understood what the CCP is really like.

Some people wanted to learn the Falun Gong exercises after learning the facts. Two ladies wrote down when and where the exercises were taught and said they were interested in learning them.
