(Clearwisdom.net) On October the 23rd 2004, Grenoble Falun Gong practitioners and some practitioners from Lyon introduced Falun Gong and the persecution against the peaceful practice to citizens in the central square of Grenoble.

For the whole afternoon, practitioners distributed leaflets and collected petition signatures calling for an end to the persecution. Photos of the brutally tortured Falun Gong practitioners in China touched the hearts of many passers-by. Lots of people signed the petition immediately before having long conversations with practitioners. Some of them wanted to know more about Falun Gong while others expressed their regret over the French President's silence on Falun Gong issues during his visit to China.

Demonstrations of the five sets of Falun Gong exercises attracted the interest of many people. Though there is a practice site in Grenoble where people can learn Falun Gong for free, this was the first time that a lot of people had heard about Falun Gong and the persecution.
