(Clearwisdom.net) On the 5th of July 2008 practitioners held truth-clarifying activities in Düsseldorf and Mülheim in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. They explained to the local people what Falun Gong is and told about the cruel persecution of Falun Gong practitioners by the CCP over the past nine years.
The activities were supported by the local people, who lined up to sign the petition to condemn the CCP persecution. They also expressed their concern over the affair of the Eutelstat Company ceasing satellite broadcasts of the New Tang Dynasty TV programs to mainland China. Eutelsat has claimed that a "technical error" is the reason broadcasts have ceased, but CCP threats and bribes are very much in the picture. They hoped that the New Tang Dynasty TV programs would be broadcast to China as soon as possible. They also appealed to the Eutalstat Company not to betray its conscience and lose dignity.
Many of the people from Mülheim, after they learned the truth, not only signed the petition protesting the persecution but also wanted to learn about Falun Gong.
