(Clearwisdom.net) Czech Falun Dafa practitioners organized a week-long tour around the cities of central Moravia so that the people there could learn more about the ongoing persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners in China. The persecution has already lasted 8 years and over 3,000 practitioners have had their lives taken by the Chinese communist regime. Some practitioners have even had their internal organs harvested whilst still alive to be sold for organ transplantation.
On Monday March 19, 2007, the first day of their Moravian tour, practitioners visited the town of Prerov. Even though it was raining and there were not many people in the streets, more than 100 passers-by signed the petition calling for an immediate end to the harvesting of organs from Falun Gong practitioners imprisoned in China. People often encouraged the practitioners, telling them that their work to raise awareness about the persecution was very good and wishing them luck.

One passer-by said: "I've heard about Falun Gong and now I would like to learn it." He left with some Falun Gong materials and went home to learn the practice. When another man read the leaflet that a practitioners gave him, he immediately understood the nature of the Chinese Communist Party's persecution of Falun Gong and Falun Gong's principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance. He said: "They are persecuting the essence of humanity!"
On Tuesday March 20, the practitioners moved to the City of Kromeriz but the snow was too heavy to hand out leaflets in the street. Instead, the practitioners went and posted thousands of leaflets in mailboxes around the city.
