(Clearwisdom.net) On November 19, 2005, Falun Gong practitioners in Russia staged an anti-torture exhibition on the square next to the Joelnalechika Subway Station in St. Petersburg. They reenacted the tortures experienced by Falun Gong practitioners in China to reveal the cruel persecution by the Jiang Zemin political group and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

People learn about Falun Gong and the persecution

Over the past few years, practitioners in St. Petersburg have persisted in introducing Falun Gong at the busy subway exits every Saturday. A lot of people in St. Petersburg have thus learned about the persecution. This was the first time that practitioners reenacted the torture methods in order to make vivid the cruelty and evilness of the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. St. Petersburg was icy and snow bound at the time, yet pedestrians stopped to watch. They learned about the persecution from practitioners and expressed support and concern for Falun Gong. A lot of people were surprised that such a persecution could be taking place today.

Pedestrians learning the truth from practitioners

Although the weather was cold, the practitioners' kind hearts warmed everyone who approached them. When the practitioners began to set up banners and exhibition boards, a shop owner came over and with a rather rude attitude, told the practitioners to put the banners a bit further away so as not to interfere with her business. The practitioners were peaceful and calm and moved the exhibition boards and banners a bit further away and then gave a leaflet to the lady. After a while, she came out from the shop with good will and stood in front of the exhibition boards for a long time. She asked the practitioners, "Where can I sign my name and express support for Falun Gong?" When the activity was about to end, she came out of the shop again and gave a cup of hot coffee to each of the practitioners. Seeing her kindness after understanding the truth, the practitioners felt very gratified.

A well-dressed gentleman talked with practitioners for a long time. In his view it was abnormal for the Western media to so seldom report the cruel conduct and violations of human rights by the CCP. He sympathized with Falun Gong practitioners very much and signed his name in support of bringing an end to the persecution.
