Practitioners sent forth righteous thoughts and performed the Falun Gong exercises. Many citizens were attracted by exhibited materials, signed petition against severe persecution of Falun Gong in China and petition calling for the immediate release of Xiong Wei from labor camp. Some of them wanted to learn more about Falun Gong.


Israeli practitioners wrote several letters to Ukrainian embassy expressing concern about the pressure that Falun Gong practitioners experience in this country. On 22 of April practitioners were invited to the embassy where they held a productive discussion with Counselor for Political Affairs Mr. Alexander Levchenko. Practitioners shared their understanding that Ukrainian position towards the persecution can cause a negative effect on the future of this country. During a discussion Mr. Levchenko stated that such a severe human right violation as those take place in China can't be tolerated and that the situation in Ukraine have to be solved on a legal basis.
