(Clearwisdom.net) On August 13, 2011, Falun Dafa practitioners held an information day in front Cologne Cathedral in Cologne, Germany. During the event, practitioners introduced Falun Gong and exposed the 12-year persecution of Falun Gong in China.

Situated on the Rhine river, Cologne is a major tourist destination. Each year, the cathedral attracts tens of thousands of visitors from all around the world. On the plaza in front of the cathedral, Falun Gong practitioners set up banners and display boards illustrating how the Chinese Communist Party has persecuted the Chinese people since it took power. Printed materials and petitions in support of Falun Gong were made available to visitors. The banners and pictures drew many Chinese visitors as well as westerners.
