Rhode Island: Divine Land Marching Band Appears in New Uniforms, Amazes the Audience (Photos)

(Clearwisdom.net) The 29th Annual Columbus Day Parade was held on October 8, 2007, in Woonsocket, Rhode Island. Falun Gong practitioners were among the first to be invited to participate in the parade. The Falun Gong entry included the Divine Land Marching Band, a Dragon Dance Troupe and a "Celestial Maidens" dance troupe. They were a colorful and popular parade highlight. Over 100-strong, the Divine Land Marching Band wore their beautiful new blue and white uniforms for the first time. They performed musical selections including "Falun Dafa Is Good," "Fa Drums and Fa Trumpets Shake the World of Ten Directions," "America the Beautiful," and "Fa Rectifies the Universe," which touched the hearts of many of the tens of thousand spectators.

Germany: Chinese Regime Interferes with Hamburg's Festival of Culture (Photos)

(Clearwisdom.net) At this year's Festival of Culture, celebrated on Saturday September 15th in Hamburg, Falun Gong practitioners participated amongst traditional Chinese participants, just as in the previous year, and called for attention to the persecution of Falun Gong in China with banners and flyers. Although the police had been advised in advance about this and the activities were approved by the organizers of the event, Falun Gong participants were informed, just before the parade neared the Chinese market at the Jungfernstieg (location), that they could not distribute flyers (this prohibition applied only to Falun Gong participants and not to other participants) and two banners were confiscated, on the excuse that the information on the banners was politically motivated. The banners said, "China's rich culture overshadowed by torture and death" and 'Falun Gong is inhumanly persecuted in China."
