(Clearwisdom.net) After the Christmas break, on December the 27th, the shops re-opened and shoppers flocked to the shopping districts to take advantage of the sales. Welsh and English Falun Dafa practitioners seized this precious opportunity to publicly demonstrate the Falun Gong exercises in the centre of the Welsh city of Swansea. Hundreds of people witnessed the beauty of the 5 sets of slow-moving Falun Dafa exercises, and many of them took truth-clarification materials from the practitioners.
The weather was a little rainy but it did not affect the event much. The practitioners involved set up an information stand, displaying posters introducing the Falun Dafa exercises and exposing the persecution against Falun Dafa practitioners in China. During the event, the practitioners demonstrated the exercises, handed out leaflets and collected signatures from passersby appealing for an immediate release of UK practitioner's family members incarcerated in China. They are being held in custody for not renouncing their belief in Falun Dafa's principle of Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance.

Many people stopped at the Falun Dafa stand while busily shopping. They carefully read about the persecution and were deeply shocked by the wide extent of human rights offences being committed in China. Quite a lot people came to the desk, asking to sign the petition forms prepared by the practitioners. Sometimes an entire family signed the petition forms. Practitioners didn't expect how quickly the forms would run out and had to use some sheets of an older version of the form in the latter part of the day. The local people have demonstrated their sense of righteousness and their support to basic human rights through these righteous actions. There were also some Chinese people passing by during the day. It could be seen that their attitudes towards Dafa have been changing and more and more overseas Chinese people have learned of the truth of the persecution. For instance, two young Chinese people came to the stand and read the information that was displayed. When handed truth clarification materials by a practitioner, they said that they have noticed that reports on Falun Dafa were so different in the UK compared to what they have seen in China. And recently they have gotten to know the truth of the persecution from an overseas Chinese newspaper, the Epoch Times. Their remarks have proved again that the propaganda produced by the state machinery of China has failed, and that it will not be able to deceive Chinese people much longer.
