In the afternoon on November 21, 2001, 7 Swedish practitioners who participated in the Tiananmen appeal stopped over in Copenhagen Airport, Denmark on their way back to Sweden. They were warmly welcomed by Danish practitioners and interviewed by the media.
After learning that the Swedish practitioners were coming, Denmark practitioners immediately started their actions of faxing news releases, contacting media and leaving for the airport from their offices.
As soon as the Swedish practitioners came out of the exit, Denmark practitioners welcomed them with bouquets of flowers. The practitioners from both countries had a group photo taken with a banner reading "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance." The Swedish practitioners appeared a little tired after the maltreatment by Chinese police for over 20 hours and the long flight back. However, during the short stopover, they still recounted their experience in China to reporters. Bruises were still clearly visible in the corner of a practitioner's eye from the beatings. Bruises were also visible on the arms of several other practitioners. The criminal actions against people that Jiang Zemin's regime committed and tried hard to cover up were exposed before the eyes of the people worldwide. "Your current performance as Dafa disciples is outstanding. All of your benevolent conduct is what evil fears most, as those who attack goodness are bound to be evil. The actions they are now adopting in the persecution of Dafa and its students are extremely wicked and shameful, and they fear these will be exposed. Their evilness must be made known to people around the world-this is also offering people salvation." (Rationality)
The Swedish fellow practitioners also shared with us their experience of getting rid of attachments one after another, their minds becoming purer, and rapid Xinxing improvement during this Fa-rectification activity and during the several days before going to Tiananmen Square through studying the Fa and sharing experiences and insights. One practitioner said that they had strong feelings when they sent forth righteous thoughts in Tiananmen Square because they knew that they had the support of tens of millions of Dafa practitioners worldwide. They recounted that when clarifying the truth to police, they wanted to save these lives with great compassion and tolerance. On the way back, they felt gratified when they clarified the truth to the Chinese sitting beside them.
These practitioners who had always led a comfortable life had been maltreated and arrested. During their detention, they were even deprived of sleep. Then they were deported by being escorted to a plane. However, they did not have any resentment or complaints but only care and compassion towards others in their mind. All of these were so naturally revealed. "The great Fa and the great epoch are forging the greatest Enlightened Beings." (The Disciples' Magnificence)
