(Clearwisdom.net) Every year the national TV stations in Norway hold commercial-free days during the Easter Holidays. On commercial-free days, they give all their commercial time to charities and volunteer organizations. Practitioners in Norway felt this was a very good opportunity to tell a wide segment of Norwegian people about the ongoing persecution against people who practice Falun Gong in China.
The practitioners made the film Stop the Persecution of Falun Gong and sent it to the national TV-station TV Norge (TV Norway). The staff at TV Norge were very touched by the film and what the Falun Gong practitioners told them about the persecution. They were happy to choose Stop the Persecution of Falun Gong as one of their films this Easter.
TV Norge is one of the biggest TV-stations in Norway and broadcasts throughout the entire country. Norway is a country which stretches far, and many cities and towns are mostly small and the population is spread out. Therefore, this was a good opportunity to tell many people about the persecution in China who might not have heard about it before.
For almost six years, Falun Gong practitioners in China have been suppressed in the evilest manner by the Chinese Communist dictatorship: hundreds of thousands have been sent to labor camps, thousands have been murdered, countless have become homeless, robbed of their work and income because they wanted to live by Truth, Compassion and Tolerance.
The film revolves around pictures of practitioners in China who have died as a result of the persecution. There are mothers, fathers, children, and people of all ages. This showed that anybody can believe in Falun Dafa and Truth, Compassion, Tolerance, but at the same time it showed the utter evilness and indiscrimination of the persecution in China, harming people regardless of everything including age.
The film was broadcast throughout Norway on both Good Friday and Easter Sunday. It was heartening to see a major TV station take such a positive and pro-active stance on this serious issue and to show their compassionate side in such a high-profile way.
