(Clearwisdom.net) On July 20, 2009, Falun Gong practitioners in Napoli, Italy, held an event on well-known Beach Avenue in the downtown area to expose the CCP's brutal persecution of Falun Gong. They hung banners telling how Falun Gong is practiced in over 100 countries around the world and exposing the CCP's brutal persecution of Falun Gong in China.
Napoli is a well-known city in southern Italy. Its long history, culture, and
numerous relics attract tourists from all over the world.
Local people were shocked to learn about the brutal persecution in China. They
expressed their wish to end the persecution as soon as possible.
One tour group from China talked with the practitioners for quite a while. The Chinese tourists said in the end, "We have been traveling for nearly a month all over the world and have met Falun Gong practitioners in many places. This is our final stop in Europe and the end of our trip. Now we met you here, too. It seems true that Falun Dafa has spread to more than one hundred countries, as it says on the banner. Seeing is believing!"
Background
Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa, is a traditional Chinese spiritual discipline for mind and body. The practice involves slow, gentle movements and meditation. It is easy to learn, enjoyable to practice, and free of charge. Its principles are based on Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. The practice began in China in 1992 and quickly spread by word of mouth throughout China and then beyond. Its beneficial effects in uplifting an individual's physical health, spiritual well-being, and moral character, not to mention its positive influence in the community and society as a whole, have been undeniable. In fact, Falun Gong is practiced by over 100 million people in 60 countries. The main works of Falun Gong are available in over 30 languages.
On July 20, 1999, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) launched a brutal persecution of Falun Gong. Since the start of the persecution, Falun Gong practitioners throughout the world have been constantly speaking out about the truth of Falun Gong and exposing the CCP's crimes in a tireless effort to end the persecution.
