(Minghui.org) Falun Gong practitioners held an “information day” on Hviezdoslav Square in Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, on July 20 to raise awareness of the persecution of the spiritual and meditation practice by the communist regime in China.
Many pedestrians learned about Falun Gong and signed a petition calling for the end to the persecution in China.
