(Clearwisdom.net) On the 20th of March, Italian Falun Dafa practitioners returned to Cardusio Square of Milan and held an anti-torture exhibition to let the public know about the Chinese Communist Party's evil persecution against their fellow practitioners in China. Many tourist groups from Mainland China also saw the exhibition.

Practitioners re-enacted two methods of torture most commonly used to force practitioners in China to give up their beliefs. They also laid out photographs and pictures showing the many other forms of torture that practitioners are suffering. A banner revealed to people that what they could see was really happening in China at this moment. While two practitioners sat on a Tiger Bench and a "Small Cage" respectively, some practitioners demonstrated the Falun Gong exercises near a banner that read, "Falun Dafa is Great!"


Residents came to learn about the persecution one after another

People learned about the persecution

The anti-torture exhibition

The anti-torture exhibition caught the attention of many passers-by. People living in an environment of peace and freedom tend to be shocked at such cruelty. Although we told them time and time again that this was just a demonstration, many people were anxious and asked if the Italian practitioners were okay. From their concern and sympathy, we saw that the suffering of Falun Gong practitioners in China touched their conscience. After looking at the anti-torture exhibition and reading the posters that explain the methods of torture, many people came to us on their own initiative and signed a petition calling on the Chinese Communist Party to stop persecuting Falun Gong. So many people signed the petition that there were not enough forms. People did not let this stop them, and many signed on the back of the petitions to show their support for the practitioners' human rights. After signing the petition, they sincerely hoped that the efforts we made would be successful in stopping the persecution as soon as possible.

Once, three ambulance workers with the Red Cross insignia came to the anti-torture exhibition. They seemed very worried and asked us if we needed any help. One of the practitioners hurried over, gave them leaflets and explained what we were doing. The three ambulance workers thanked us and left.

This Square has several lines of electric cars running through it, and it is part of some major tourist attractions. It is also close to the Chinese community, and many people got a chance to see the anti-torture exhibition, including quite a few tourist groups from China.

Italian practitioners now fully understand that the success of each activity depends a great deal on their cultivation and cooperation. Two western practitioners had specially prepared an exhibition board, and another had designed a poster for collecting signatures. Wisdom and cooperation made up for the deficiencies of their preparation at the early stage. Everyone worked proactively on what they should do.

Practitioners have regularly been promoting Falun Gong and raising awareness of the persecution on the streets of Milan. On nearly one hundred weekends in the past two years, practitioners have been holding activities in Milan rain or shine. Among them, a practitioner who is over seventy years old has never been absent. He always comes to take part in the activities at the weekend, and he goes out of his way to be responsible for carrying exhibition boards and some other materials. The practitioners hope that their efforts will help more people learn the truth about Falun Gong and have an opportunity of choosing their future.

Anti-torture exhibitions and activities to promote Falun Gong will not stop until the persecution ends.
