August 10, 2011 |   By a European Falun Gong practitioner

(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Gong practitioners in Serbia held activities in the capital city, Belgrade on July 21, 2011, to condemn the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) brutal persecution of Falun Gong for twelve years. They clarified the facts about the persecution of Falun Gong to the public in the city center; protested in front of the Chinese Embassy, mourned fellow Falun Gong practitioners murdered by the CCP, and called for the people of Serbia to help stop the CCP's atrocities.

Falun Gong practitioner clarifies the truth in Belgrade

On the morning of July 21, practitioners protested at the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade. In front of the embassy a military vehicle was parked, from which came a dozen or more Serb police officers. They stood nervously alert opposite the Falun Gong practitioners. Two people who claimed to be from the Immigration Bureau came over to verify the practitioners' immigration status. The practitioners answered their inquiries openly. Upon seeing one of them writing with his hands shaking, the practitioners comforted them, and told them not to believe the lies of the Embassy that demonize Falun Gong. The practitioners looked so peaceful doing the exercises that the police officers were not as nervous as before. And by the time the practitioners were practicing the second set of exercises, the police began to chat casually.

One participant went over to tell the police officers what Falun Gong and the persecution in China are all about. The police officer nodded and said, 'Oh, that is it! We have never heard of Falun Gong before, let alone such a serious persecution that is happening in China. We know that the Chinese government (CCP) is a dictatorship, which did the Tiananmen Square massacre of students with tanks. But this is the first time we have heard about the persecution of Falun Gong. This is clearly a violation of human rights.

The police officers standing guard outside didn't wait until the practitioners finished the second set of exercises. They all went back into their vehicle and read the informational materials given to them by the practitioners.
