São Paulo, Brazil: Practitioners Call to End the Chinese Regime’s Persecution

As a symbol of the center of economic and political power of São Paulo, Paulista Avenue stretches from northwest to southeast. Falun Gong practitioners’ exercise demonstration, displays, and signature collection attracted many people. They signed the petition calling to end the CCP’s atrocities. Some were very interested in learning Falun Gong. Some bought Falun Gong books on the spot.

After hearing that the CCP’s brutalities had been going on for 26 years, Wagner, a retired professor, told a practitioner, “It’s outrageous and hard to believe that such things are still happening! I hope this persecution will end soon, and people will regain their freedom. People’s beliefs should be respected.”

Aron, a retired accountant, stopped to read the Falun Gong displays. He told a practitioner he knew a large persecution was happening in China, but the corrupt media would never report on it. Aron was interested in practicing Falun Gong and said he would try the exercises at home.
