Greece
Greek practitioners gathered on Syntagma Central Square in Athens on July 19 to mark the 20th anniversary of the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong in China. Passersby asked: “Why didn't we know about this?’’ and “How can we help stop it?’’
Falun Gong activities
Practitioners demonstrated Falun Dafa's calm and gentle exercises. People were fascinated by the great energy they felt as they watched. Greeks and tourists from other countries took information about the persecution of Falun Gong and the organ harvesting atrocities perpetrated by the CCP. They said it was crazy for the CCP to persecute its own people and the nation's traditions in such brutal ways. Many people signed the petition to end the persecution and wanted to learn the exercises.
Practitioners also introduced Falun Gong to all the classes in the Iliohamogelo preschool on July 23 and 24.
