(Clearwisdom.net) On the 25th of April, 2009, Falun Gong practitioners from Denmark and Sweden held a truth clarification activity in a square in Copenhagen to commemorate the tenth anniversary of ten thousand Falun Gong practitioners peacefully appealing in Beijing. They also called for an end to the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong.

The small square was crowded. Practitioners wearing golden exercise outfits were eye-catching as they demonstrated the exercises. The atmosphere was dignified and peaceful. Many passing-by tourists were drawn to this scene. Some Chinese people also learned the truth and quit the Communist Party.
Mr. Song, a Falun Gong practitioner who was taking part in the activities said, "This date, April 25, is unforgettable. Ten years ago I myself had the thought to clarify the truth and went to Beijing with a wish to say that Falun Gong practitioners are good people--they cultivate Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance."Miss Wang from China, after seeing the exercise demonstrations by Falun Gong practitioners, came to the information table. She learned that over the last 10 years of brutal persecution by the CCP in China, not only has Falun Gong not been eradicated, but many more people around the world have entered cultivation practice. Falun Gong is a genuine high-level teaching that can improve people's character, and turn them towards goodness.
She expressed deep respect for Falun Gong practitioners, and was moved by the compassionate countenance of the practitioners. She said, "During the dishonourable decades of its history, the CCP has not only killed tens of millions of Chinese citizens, but even deceives Chinese people about the June 4th incident." After recognising clearly the true nature of the CCP, she declared on the spot that she would like to quit the CCP, the Communist Youth League and the Young Pioneers.A second generation, overseas-born Chinese said that he had been to China, and he also has some overseas Chinese student friends, but his friends do not understand Falun Gong. After seeing the truth of the persecution, he said: "This sort of brutal persecution should quickly cease. I support you, everyone should know what is happening in China."
On April 24, Falun Gong practitioners from Copenhagen held a commemorative activity in front of the Chinese embassy in Denmark. They hung up banners saying things such as " Falun Dafa is good," and "Stand up to stop the mass persecution that has continued for ten years," and expressed the heartfelt voice of Falun Gong practitioners. Just as when practitioners appealed peacefully on "April 25" in China, the environment was quiet, calm and harmonious.
