(Clearwisdom.net) From November 3 to5, 2006, Falun Gong practitioners in Spain were invited to participate in the International Health Expo held once a year in Barcelona. The Expo attracts many visitors from all over the world every year.

The CCP’s cruel persecution of Falun Gong shocks people

Falun Gong booth is surrounded by those who want to learn about it

Peaceful exercises attract people, many of whom want to learn

Signing a petition condemning the persecution

A huge banner worded "Falun Dafa Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance" in both Chinese and Spanish hung above the Falun Dafa booth. A video program about the persecution was played, as was a video of the exercise instructions. Pudu and Jishi music resounded in the exhibition hall. A visitor was moved by the energy field of compassion, serenity and peace. She told a practitioner, "Your place is like another world."

The stall was right opposite to the hallway of the exhibition hall. There was enough room to show visitors about Falun Dafa spreading all over the world and about the persecution. On one side of the hall were photos of group practice by practitioners around the world, and on the other side were photos of practitioners in China cruelly tortured by CCP.

Although some visitors had already read about Falun Gong on the internet and wanted to learn the exercises, they had not found practice sites near them. They were very pleased when they finally found practitioners at the Expo. They wanted to learn the exercises on the spot. Many others came to learn about Falun Dafa because they could not understand why such a good practice is being cruelly persecuted by the CCP. Practitioners answered all the questions they raised.

After learning the fact, many visitors signed the petition expressing their support to end CCP's persecution of Falun Gong. While two lovers were looking at pictures of Falun practitioners tortured by CCP, the girl could not help crying. She said, "How can such a thing happen? it is too cruel!" The two young people all signed the petition.

The Expo had a place for demonstration of the practice. According to the schedule, there were three demonstrations of Falun Gong exercises every day, each last 30 minutes. While some practitioners demonstrated the graceful Falun Gong exercises, a practitioner explained to the audience through a loud-speaker about the genocide and organ harvesting atrocities in China. Practitioners called on people to help end the persecution. After seeing the demonstration, many people went to the stall and signed the petition.

The sponsor of the Expo interviewed practitioners and made a news report. Practitioners introduced the characteristics of Falun Gong, how it has spread to 80 countries around the world, and about the persecution over the last seven years.
