(Minghui.org) The 3^rd annual Italian Sporting Games were held on September 6 at Giardini Margherita, a scenic park in Bologna, Italy. Sponsored by the Italian National Olympic Committee and local government, the event featured wide array of sports-related activities.

Falun Gong practitioners were invited to give a presentation and demonstration of the meditation exercises, both in the morning and in the afternoon.

Many people were interested in the learning the exercises. Some signed petitions calling for an end to the brutal persecution in China.

While reading a flyer about Falun Gong and the persecution, a woman said, “Anyone who did this [persecuting Falun Gong practitioners] will be punished by heaven, because their crimes are unforgivable.”
