(Clearwisdom.net) On February 1, 2005, Falun Gong practitioners from the Czech Republic visited the city of Zlin and held an activity in the Square of Peace. Falun Gong music accompanied the sunshine and gentle snow falling on the square, as practitioners demonstrated the exercises. Many people in Zlin were interested in learning to practice Falun Gong.
People passing the posters outlining the persecution against Falun Gong in China and the torture methods used to force practitioners to renounce their beliefs, often stopped to read them all. One elderly man read the posters and signed the petition calling for an end to the persecution before approaching practitioners to tell them about the importance of what they were doing. A woman who read the posters said, "Under the totalitarian regime, even people who didn't do anything bad are being jailed. They were just telling the truth."
Journalists from three newspapers attended the activity and interviewed practitioners. Their articles will reach not only people who live in Zlin but also many of those in the surrounding areas.
