Marek stopped at the booth and talked with practitioners. As soon as he learned that a Falun Gong class was being offered, he signed up for it.

Marek asked if the communist regime was still persecuting Falun Gong. When a practitioner updated him about the current situation in China, he signed the petition condemning the persecution.

When he learned that Falun Gong's guiding principles are Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and how the regime is persecuting it in China, he said, “I feel bad that such a good practice is being persecuted.”
