Practitioners from many cities in Russia gathered in Irkutsk, Angarsk and Baikal in the run up to July 20, which marks 22 years of persecution in China. They held activities to expose the evil crimes of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), including its forced live organ harvesting from imprisoned Falun Dafa practitioners.

For the past few months, practitioners in Siberia have also been encouraging local residents to stay away from the CCP and have been asking people to sign a petition to end the persecution of Falun Dafa in China. Many people have signed the practitioners' petition and expressed gratitude to practitioners for their efforts. Some people have told practitioners that they’ll also help spread the information on social media. 

Practitioners found that many Russian people were already aware that the specter of communism is ruling our world and is a threat to people everywhere. In addition, many people have clearly realized the evil nature of communism and the CCP.
