[Minghui.org] Russia: Falun Dafa Information Day Held in Novgorod

 May 5, 2024 | By a Falun Dafa practitioner in Russia

After students Lisa, Ksenia, Daria, and Ulyana learned that the persecution has been going on in China for almost 25 years, they said that something had to be done to stop it. When the practitioner told them about Falun Dafa’s principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance and how the practice brings harmony to mind and body, they expressed their interest in practicing.

(Minghui.org) On April 25, 2024, in Nizhny Novgorod, practitioners hosted an information day to mark the 25th anniversary of the April 25 appeal.

In 1999, about 10,000 Falun Dafa (also known as Falun Gong) practitioners lined up outside the Appeals Office of the State Council on April 25 to request the release of 45 of practitioners detained in Tianjin. The gathering was peaceful and orderly. Although the premier at the time agreed to release the practitioners and ensure that practitioners would have a safe place to practice their faith, three months later, former Chinese Communist Party (CCP) head Jiang Zemin started a brutal persecution of Falun Gong. Millions of practitioners have since been discriminated against and abused for their faith. Adherents of the practice are imprisoned, tortured and have had their organs harvested against their will. The persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China continues to this day.

The event was held in the center of Novogrod in the busiest tourist area. Practitioners distributed informational booklets to passersby and explained the significance of the April 25 appeal, the ensuing persecution of Falun Dafa in China, and how the CCP has profited from the persecution by harvesting organs from living practitioners in China.

Russians Shocked by the CCP’s Violence

Many passersby stopped to inquire about the persecution and sign the petition to condemn the CCP’s forced organ harvesting.

Several people were taken aback by the fact that a government would treat its own citizens so terribly.

Sojida and Alice expressed indignation that such evil still exists. They told practitioners that they hoped the killing of people for their organs would soon end and signed the petition.

Shocked by what is happening in China, Sergei and his friend signed the petition.
Two young women said Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance are wonderful.

When they signed the petition, two boys said that they did not support any form of murder, especially for the sake of somebody’s organs.

In addition to signing the petition, passersby also wanted to learn more about Falun Dafa.

Talking with a passerby

Retiree Lev Anatolyevich also expressed his admiration for the principles of Falun Dafa and its moral foundation. He signed the petition and said, “There is nothing better than Falun Dafa on this earth.”

Police officers on duty in the area came over to find out about the event. When they learned about the benefits of practicing Falun Dafa, they said they were interested in practicing cultivation.

Editor’s Note: Dear readers, do you know that Falun Dafa, originally from China, is currently practiced by people in over 100 countries? But in China, since Jul. 20, 1999, Falun Gong is defamed, slandered and persecuted due to the Chinese Communist Party’s fear of Falun Gong’s rapidly growing popularity. 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.
