(Clearwisdom.net) On Saturday March 5, 2005, practitioners of Falun Gong visited Hlohovec, a medium-sized city in western Slovakia, to let people know about the continuing persecution against the practice in China. Even though the weather was freezing, the sun came out and warmed everyone up as the practitioners spent the day handing out leaflets and chatting to local people. They told people about the benefits they have received from practicing Falun Gong, as well as the brutal persecution that is happening in China and has already taken the lives of over 1,400 people.

People greeted the practitioners with a warm and friendly welcome. An elderly lady came over from a nearby bakery and said, "I saw you sitting on the ground. You must be cold. Can I bring you some tea?" She soon came back with hot tea and warm pastries, for which she refused to take any payment. The practitioners thanked her profusely for her kindness.

Another man said, "If you had not come here today, I would never have known that something like this is happening in China. It is really horrific." Many people stopped to sign the petition and show their disdain and disapproval of the persecution.
