(Minghui.org) Falun Gong practitioners participated in the “People's Meeting” (Folkemødet) on Bornholm, Denmark, from June 12 to 15, 2014. An annual event, the People's Meeting is a major gathering on Bornholm, an island in the Baltic Sea. The gathering provides Danish citizens, politicians, business people and NGOs a platform for informal, open debate, to address society's opportunities and challenges. The debates and seminars are free and open to all.
Falun Gong practitioners took this opportunity to introduce the Falun Gong exercises and principles of the practice, and expose the brutal persecution of Falun Gong in China.
Those who learned about the Chinese Communist Party's state-sanctioned forced organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners signed the 2014 DAFOH (Doctors Against Forced Organ Harvesting) petition and an open letter to the Danish Parliament. Within 2 days, a total of 936 signatures were collected.
This year's four-day event, with more than 2,000 activities/topics in political, and cultural fields, attracted over 80,000 visitors.
