(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners from Romania, Germany, France, Italy and Switzerland held a series of truth-clarification events in three cities in Romania from July 18 to July 21, 2025, to mark 26 years of peaceful efforts to end to the persecution of the spiritual practice by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Romanians showed their support for Falun Dafa throughout the activities. Hundreds of people signed a petition to be submitted to the G7, calling for an investigation into the CCP’s human rights violations and condemning the CCP’s persecution of Falun Dafa. People expressed their hopes that practitioners can continue to take effective action to stop the Chinese regime’s state-sanctioned forced organ harvesting of imprisoned Falun Dafa practitioners, and also stop the regime’s 26-year persecution.
Practitioners held a peaceful protest in front of the Chinese Embassy in the capital city, Bucharest, in the afternoon of July 18, 2025. They demonstrated the exercises and called for the CCP to stop the persecution of Falun Dafa.

That night, the practitioners staged a candlelight vigil in front of the statue of King Carol I on Calea Victoriei in the capital. The vigil mourned practitioners in China who have died for their faith. Residents and tourists came over throughout the vigil to learn more, and enthusiastically signed the petition calling for an end to the persecution.

“Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance Are the Foundation for Building a Stable Society”
During the two days of activities in Sinaia, local residents shared their thoughts about Falun Dafa and the persecution in China.
Angela Sandu expressed admiration for Falun Dafa’s principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, and hoped that cultivators in China would no longer suffer from persecution.

She said that the universal values of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance are the foundation for building a stable society. “If these values can be truly practiced, and people truly believe in them, we will be able to live in a more wonderful world. However, this is not something that can be changed overnight. It has to be done gradually, building bit by bit over time, ultimately becoming something that doesn’t change forever,” she said.
She thanked Falun Dafa practitioners worldwide for their efforts to stop the persecution in a peaceful and rational way, because it is so urgent and meaningful to help others understand why practitioners are countering the persecution.
“Falun Dafa Practitioners Will Ultimately Succeed”
Mariana Legat and her friend Ioana Barlaboi came from Ploiesti. When they learned about the persecution that practitioners in China are suffering, they were appalled.

Both women said that they strongly agreed that practitioners should hold such events, and they also agree with Falun Dafa and the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance.
“Applying Falun Dafa’s principles to our daily lives will first bring improvement to our spirits and get rid of our negative thoughts. We want to be tolerant to those people who do not understand us, be kind to those who need help, and pursue the truth—the truth is life itself. Everything pertains to life,” Ms. Legat said.
Ms. Barlaboi said, “I totally agree. I stopped because I read Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. I wish practitioners health, courage, and to be steadfast! Society will definitely change. Let us get rid of hypocrisy and lies.” She added, “Falun Dafa practitioners will ultimately succeed!”
“The Truth Is Important to Everyone”
Adriana Delcea, from Bucharest, is a retiree. She signed the petition and said, “If I can provide help in any way, I will definitely try. I would be glad if I could help. I will also talk to the people in Sinaia and tourists about this matter.”

She said that Falun Dafa teaches people to be kind, so she hopes that more people can join the ranks of overseas Falun Dafa practitioners and that the efforts calling for an end to the persecution will have a greater effect.
“Try your best to attract as many people as possible,” she said, “because I understand that this is not only very important to the Chinese people. It is equally important to other people like us.”
Ms. Delcea told a practitioner that she will share the story of Falun Dafa with her community. “I know many people in Sinaia. I usually stay here during the summer. I will talk to everyone. When you sit on the long bench, you may meet people from all over the country. I will talk about this matter. This is a meaningful topic. I wish you all success and good luck. I hope to hear good news!” she said.
Psychologist: Falun Dafa Is a Good Medicine That Resolves Problems
Theodor Neagu is a psychologist. He felt sad for Falun Dafa, this faith community, for suffering persecution in China over the past 26 years. At the same time, he said that it is time for the culprits to bear the consequences.
“Twenty-six years is a very long time,” he said. “Change may still need some time, but if we can interact with more and more people every day, the persecution will stop.
“At least some of those who remain at large can be held accountable,” Mr. Neagu continued. “I think that if we can collect many signatures that object to the persecution, we will at least convey one message: People do not agree with this persecution. They [Falun Dafa practitioners] should keep doing this. I think that there will ultimately be some change.”
He also said that applying the principles of Falun Dafa to our daily lives is a good way to resolve society’s problems. “If the majority of people truly start to practice these principles, there would not be so many angry people. Their attitudes at work may also be different.”
Mihaela Hogea
Mihaele Hogea agrees that Falun Dafa can bring enormous benefits to the individual as well as society. “When you practice compassion, you will have an open mind; when you are tolerant toward others, you will accept everything. Your inner heart will be peaceful and your life will also be peaceful. Therefore, people who start to love themselves will do good things and bring joy to the people around them. You give people love and you will receive love. Life is love. As long as we keep trying our best and also put in time to cultivate ourselves, we will be able to benefit from it. People normally know a lot of theory, but few practice it,” she said.
Ms. Hogea looks forward to the persecution ending soon. “This persecution is almost equivalent to murder. What methods can stop them? I know, everything that has a start will have an ending,” she said.
Nicolae Gheta
Nicolae Gheta, from Giurgiu, said, “I think that this is a very good initiative. You should try your best to hold more such events, as that will make it as beneficial to people as possible. If we can try our best to practice Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, our lives will change completely.”
He encouraged Falun Dafa practitioners around the world to keep cultivating and attain success.
Grigore Elena
Grigore Elena, a resident of Sinaia, said, “Persecuting cultivators is not normal.” Referring to the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, she said, “We need these values. I wish Falun Dafa practitioners success. Let them unite as much as possible and keep working on ending the persecution.”
