Increasing support in the UK for the human rights of Falun Gong practitioners

Support for the human rights of Falun Gong practitioners is increasing in the UK. Many local groups of Amnesty International have invited Falun Gong practitioners to speak at their meetings in the recent months. For example on 13th of March, the University of Nottingham group of the AI organised a seminar which was attended by about 30 people and a Falun Gong practitioner gave an illustrated presentation on the vicious persecution in China, the benevolence of Falun Gong, and rebuttal to the Jiang regime' smears. The audience were deeply saddened by the pictures of torture and suffering and offered many ideas and suggestions for helping the practitioners in China. The listeners asked detailed questions and took away all the copies of the petition letters for sending to the Chinese authorities. Some immediately expressed interest in learning Falun Gong and asked for the details of local classes. Many similar successful events have been held in other cities and Universities in the UK.
