(Clearwisom.net) On Saturday, March 18, 2006, Falun Gong practitioners visited Sturovo, a small town in southern Slovakia, in order to raise public awareness about the cruel persecution of Falun Gong taking place in China. Practitioners held the event on the newly-paved Square of Freedom. They set up their banners so their message could be read from passing cars.
Many people stopped and one older man told the practitioners, "Yes, horrible. I was also persecuted before by the communist regime." A reporter from the local newspaper added her signature to the petition supporting Falun Gong and conducted an interview with one of the practitioners. She was interested in the history of Falun Gong, the reason for the persecution and the results of our efforts to let people know about what is happening in China. She showed interest in the Falun Gong exercises and took lots of informational materials.
Many people from neighboring Hungary, who had come to visit the local thermal spa, stopped by the practitioners' display. They were very happy that they were able to get information about Falun Gong in their own language.
