(Minghui.org) Practitioners held activities in front of the Nobel Museum in Stockholm on October 1, 7, and 8, 2022, coinciding with the announcements of the winners of this year’s Nobel Prizes. Their perseverance and the peaceful way they’ve exposed the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution won the admiration and support of many tourists from all over the world.
This year’s Nobel Prizes were announced from October 3 to 10. The activities in front of the Nobel Museum introduced Falun Dafa to tourists in the form of banners, display boards, exercise demonstrations, and distributing fliers. Practitioners also explained the brutal persecution Falun Dafa continues to face in China.

The practice music drew attention of a group of middle school students. Several boys imitated the practitioners’ movements as they demonstrated the exercises. A practitioner explained why they were there and told them about Falun Dafa. More than twelve children gathered around to listen.
A group of students learn about Falun Dafa and the persecution.
The practitioner told them that Falun Dafa is an ancient Chinese practice, and practitioners cultivate themselves to be good people according to the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. Practicing Falun Dafa is beneficial and improves people’s health and fitness. However, 23 years ago the CCP initiated the persecution of such a peaceful practice in China. People who practice Falun Dafa under the CCP’s rule will be arrested, beaten, tortured, and even subjected to organ harvesting. In China, an organ can be reserved in advance and an organ transplant can be performed on demand.
The children were shocked. One boy exclaimed: “This is killing!” After they learned about the persecution, they all wanted to sign the petition calling for the disintegration of the CCP to help stop the persecution. Each received a beautiful little lotus flower with the words “Falun Dafa is good” and “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.” Some took more fliers to bring to their parents and other family members.
A newlywed couple who were sightseeing in Sweden was happy to see practitioners. The groom is French and the bride is from Colombia. The bride told practitioners that she was just starting to learn French. A practitioner clarified the truth to them and gave the bride a flyer in Spanish. The bride was especially happy and said, “I understand why you are here.”
It turned out that the couple saw practitioners the previous weekend when they were in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, but unfortunately, they didn’t have time to talk to them, so the couple was happy to see practitioners in Stockholm. They both signed the petition to show their support.
On Saturday, October 8, the weather was particularly good. William from the U.S. went straight to the table, picked up a pen, and without saying a word signed the petition.
A practitioner told him about the persecution of Falun Dafa and the organ harvesting. William was moved. He said, “I know the CCP is evil. You dare to stand up and expose the evil of the Party. You are admirable!”
He finally said, “I agree with you very much, and I am willing to support you.” He also called over his friends who were accompanying him to sign the petition against the persecution.
After reading all the information on the display board attentively, two young men from Germany had a long conversation with a German-speaking practitioner. When they heard about the organ harvesting from practitioners while they are alive, they were shocked. They said they didn’t understand why the media does not report such a big thing. After learning why, they said they understood that all this was driven by the CCP’s cover-up and manipulating economic interests.
Two young men from Germany read the flyer.
The two also said that many Germans are starting to think. They said there were many troubles in the world including the shortage of energy, food, and resources. The practitioner encouraged them and said that there was still hope.
“You are the hope,” one of the young men said, “Your standing here is the hope.” He said sincerely, “I hope this (the CCP’s persecution of Falun Dafa) will end soon.”
Falun Dafa (also known as Falun Gong) was first introduced to the public by Mr. Li Hongzhi in Changchun, China, in 1992. The spiritual discipline is now practiced in over 100 countries and regions worldwide. Millions of people who have embraced the teachings, which are based on the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance, and have learned the five exercises have experienced improved health and well-being.
Jiang Zemin, former head of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), perceived the spiritual discipline’s growing popularity as a threat to the CCP’s atheistic ideology and on July 20, 1999, he issued an order to eradicate the practice.
Under Jiang’s personal direction, the CCP established the 610 Office, an extralegal security organization with the power to override the police and judicial systems and whose sole function is to carry out the persecution of Falun Dafa.
Minghui.org has confirmed the deaths of thousands of practitioners as a result of the persecution over the past 23 years. The actual number is believed to be much higher. Countless practitioners have been imprisoned and tortured for their faith.
There is concrete evidence that the CCP sanctions the harvesting of organs from detained practitioners, who are murdered to supply China’s organ transplant industry.
