At dusk on April 25, 2001, Swedish practitioners simultaneously gathered in the main squares of Stockholm and Gothenborg, Sweden's two largest cities, where they lit the "mourning candle" once more. Several hundred spectators listened to voices over loudspeakers as Western practitioners told the two-year-old story of the April 25, 1999 incident in China. The assembled people heard the true story of how, in 1999, Jiang Zemin had placed himself above the law; how he issued secret documents and gave clandestine orders to wage the war of persecution against Falun Gong. At present, nearly 200 Falun Gong practitioners have already died as a direct result of the persecution because of their firm belief in Truthfulness, Benevolence and Forbearance, the principles of Falun Dafa, the Law of the Universe.
However, it appears that Falun Dafa is already deeply rooted in people's hearts. Master Li said, "Coercion cannot change people's hearts." Coercion is one of the mainstays of Jiang Zemin's illogical, brutal persecution. More and more practitioners worldwide come out in the open these days and display the five sets of exercises quietly and thereby peacefully show their resolution in Dafa cultivation. We are issuing a wake-up call to all kindhearted and conscientious people. Together we'll stop the crimes of Jiang Zemin's group.
The candle flame is like the brilliance of Dafa particles, absorbing us into the mighty fire of the Fa rectification.
