(Minghui.org) Practitioners held activities in Burgas on February 10, 2024 to expose the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) 24-year long persecution of Falun Dafa.

Practitioners held activities in Burgas on February 10, 2024 to tell people about the persecution of Falun Dafa in China.

Located on the shores of the Black Sea, Burgas is Bulgaria’s fourth-largest city. Practitioners set up an information booth in one of the major pedestrian zones linking the city to the sea. They distributed fliers and collected signatures on a petition to end the persecution, and many people stopped to read the banners and talk with them.

It was a bright, sunny day, and the streets were filled with people enjoying the break in the winter weather. They were drawn to the booth and stopped to find out more about Falun Dafa. They signed the petition and expressed support for practitioners after learning of the human rights atrocities in China.

When Tatiana from Russia heard of the inhuman methods used by the CCP to torture Falun Dafa practitioners, including taking their organs without consent to sell for organ transplants, she said that she knew the regime was capable of such brutality. “It’s evil and horrifying,” she said.

She was also interested in learning the exercises and the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Forbearance. She asked who she could contact locally, “I would like to know where I can learn the practice.”

A man from Armenia chatted with a practitioner for a long time. He felt sorry for practitioners who were imprisoned and tortured for their belief. “Whereverthe Communist Party rules, there is trouble, repression, and persecution. It’s not good for the people,” he said.

An elderly woman said that she knew very well what the Communist Party was capable of after a practitioner explained why they held the activities. She went straight to the table and signed the petition calling for an end to the persecution.

Practitioners demonstrate the exercises.

Practitioners from Stara Zagora, another city in Bulgaria, also came to participate in the activities held to raise awareness about the persecution. They demonstrated the five sets of exercises of Falun Dafa to show people how peaceful the practice is. A woman watched them for a long time from a distance before she approached a practitioner and said that she was interested in learning more about Falun Dafa.
