(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners in Michigan held activities on the campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on April 21, 2024, to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the April 25 Appeal. Their group exercises in the warm spring sunshine attracted faculty, students, and local residents. Many people learned the benefits of Falun Dafa, and how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) slandered Falun Dafa and continues to persecute the cultivation practice.

Isha Kalwani, a computer science major, learned the exercises on the spot. She said she felt great afterward and wanted to continue doing them with the group. “The flyer says the practice will bring peace of mind. You indeed look peaceful while doing the exercises,” Isha said, “I want to join you so I can also feel peaceful and improve myself.”

Dr. Xu, one of the organizers of the event, said, “We have been doing the Falun Dafa exercises at the University of Michigan campus for many years. We are here today to commemorate the April 25 Peaceful Appeal in Beijing 25 years ago. It’s a citizen’s right to appeal in Western countries, but the Chinese Communist Party claimed practitioners’ peaceful appeal was a ‘siege’ and used it as a pretext to persecute Falun Dafa for 25 years.”
He said, “We are here today in the same peaceful and rational spirit. We hope our activities will allow more young people, especially Chinese students and visitors from China, to learn the truth about Falun Dafa.”
