A practitioner explains to a passerby about the persecution

A Turkish man who lives in Mannheim had a conversation with a practitioner. He said that his younger brother in Turkey used to be an alcoholic with a violent temper. However, after practicing Falun Gong, he is a changed person. He is now kind, peaceful, and in good health. He encouraged his brother to visit him in Turkey to learn this wonderful practice. This man didn't expect to come across Falun Gong practitioners in Germany. Before leaving, he took many truth clarification materials, and expressed great interest in Falun Gong.

Another woman asked for informational materials after carefully viewing the display. She then signed the petition, and said to the practitioners, “I wish you success!”
