(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners participated in the 41st Peace Love Exchange Festival in Hiroshima on October 4, 2025. Locals and visitors learned the benefits of practicing Falun Dafa and how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) persecutes the spiritual discipline.

Over 8,000 people attended the event, which featured stage performances and 22 booths with cultural and food products from different countries. Practitioners demonstrated the Falun Dafa exercises and performed the waist drums. Some people followed along and did the exercises. Others took videos of their dance and exercise demonstration.

Many people visited the Falun Dafa booth, and practitioners told them about the ancient cultivation practice and the ongoing persecution by the CCP. They expressed their support for the practitioners’ efforts to expose the persecution.

Mr. Yoon from Korea was appalled when he was told about the persecution and said, “Human rights don’t have borders. People’s basic rights should be protected no matter where they live. The persecution shouldn’t happen, especially the organ harvesting from practitioners while they are still alive. It’s too cruel!” Mr. Yoon praised the practitioners’ hard work in calling to end the persecution and said he was concerned about the practitioners’ safety.
