(Clearwisdom.net) At noon on July 9, 2004, just after participating in the Calgary Stampede Parade, Falun Gong practitioners staged an anti-torture exhibit in front of the Max Bell Theater in downtown Calgary to expose the persecution encountered by Falun Gong practitioners in China for not giving up their belief.

People stop to look at the exhibition

Clarifying the truth to people

Calgary's mainstream media outlets including A-Channel TV and newspaper FFWD came to cover the event. A-Channel conducted the interviews for almost an hour. 

A photographer from FFWD newspaper took photos of the torture re-enactments. A reporter followed up with an interview. Practitioners said that the exhibit showed what is happening in China. Only a few of the over 100 known types of torture could be shown. 1001 practitioners are verified to have died from the persecution. More than 100,000 practitioners are unlawfully detained or sentenced to force labor or jail.

The torture exhibition shocked spectators and passersby. Some shook their heads in disbelief that this was happening in China today.
