(Clearwisdom.net) On August 14th, 2005, several Falun Gong practitioners from Northern Europe and Latvia gathered at the busiest business center in Helsinki to let people know about Falun Gong and the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China. They demonstrated the Falun Gong exercises and held an anti-torture exhibition. Tourists from various countries signed the petition one after another to support Falun Gong practitioners and condemn the persecution.

It was drizzling all day long in the capital of Finland, while the 2005 IAAF World Championships were coming to a close. Among the crowds around the anti-torture exhibition were Finnish delegates from various countries who came to participate in the Championships, as well as many tourists. From their shocked countenances, angry eyes, the tears of compassion and the kind act of signing the petition, we could tell that people were greatly moved from the bottoms of their hearts. The peaceful demonstration of Falun Gong exercises made a stark contrast to the exhibition of brutal torture methods.

It was strenuous work to act as a victim of torture or a wicked police officer. In particular, it was very difficult for the three practitioners who enacted the victims of torture: tied to a cage for long periods of time, huddled inside the iron cage and reenacting the role of a burn victim. To impress people who came to the exhibition, those practitioners persevered in their roles for nearly three hours without any rest.
The most common questions asked by the shocked visitors were, "Is it true? Why does this kind of thing still happen today? How can I help?"

Time and again, with great compassion, Dafa practitioners answered the queries raised by people and explained the details about the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China. They also exposed the anti-human nature of the Chinese Communist Party. Their words aroused people's sense of justice and conscience. These activities deeply moved so many people because the practitioners devoted a lot time and energy to the event and because of the great compassion and tolerance they gained through cultivating Falun Gong.
