(Clearwisdom.net) On November 14, Falun Gong practitioners from Western Australia participated for the third time in the annual holiday parade in the City of Fremantle. More than 20 other groups also took part in the parade.
The parade went through the busiest part of the city: Cappuccino Strip. Spectators warmly welcomed the Falun Gong contingent as they performed the dragon dance and waist drums.
Ms. Chen, a Chinese student, was surprised to see Falun Gong in such a small town. She said Falun Gong looks very different than what she heard about in China. "They look like nice people," she said.
Mr. Wei, a Chinese gentleman, expressed that it was nice to see Falun Gong here. "You cannot see any Falun Gong activities in China. You only hear negative reports," he said.
Falun Gong practitioners have had an exercise site in Fremantle for eight years. They often hold activities to spread the Fa and clarify the truthabout Falun Gong in this tourist town. Many local citizens have signed the petition against the persecution of Falun Gong, and expressed their support to practitioners.
