(Minghui.org) The State Parliament of Geneva held a full assembly meeting on May 22, 2025. That same day, Falun Gong (also known as Falun Dafa) practitioners from the French-speaking region of Switzerland set up an information booth outside the Geneva Parliament building.

The practitioners demonstrated the Falun Dafa exercises, shared information about the practice, and collected signatures calling for an end to the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution of Falun Gong. Many elected officials and members of the public stopped by to show their interest and support.

Several members of Parliament warmly greeted the practitioners, spoke with them, and encouraged them to keep raising awareness about the persecution they face in China. They promised to continue supporting the practitioners’ efforts in calling for justice.
