Norway: People Commend Practitioners' Upholding Their Principles Amidst 25 Years of Persecution

(Minghui.org) Practitioners in Norway held a series of activities in the capital Oslo on July 20, 2024, to raise awareness about Falun Dafa and to call for an end to the persecution by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

They began the day’s events by doing the exercises in the Royal Park of Norway. That afternoon they set up a booth near the Stortingsbygningen (Parliament Building) and collected signatures on a petition to end the persecution. In the evening they went to the Chinese Embassy to peacefully protest the persecution. Many Norwegian people have learned about the CCP’s persecution that has gone on for 25 years, and some were interested in learning Falun Dafa.

People Encourage Practitioners

Carmen, a woman from Spain, saw practitioners in front of the parliament building and said, “What you are doing is very important. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is important in today’s chaotic world! Everyone from the elderly to young children should follow these principles.” She thanked practitioners for exposing the persecution.

Jeanett noticed practitioners doing the exercises in the morning and told them, “I’ve wanted to learn Falun Dafa for years. It’s good that you are here!” After receiving materials and information about the online teachings, she said happily: “I want to learn.” She repeatedly said it was great that practitioners can freely practice outside China.

Wiggo, a retired economist, told practitioners, “I’ve been following the news about Falun Dafa for many years and I know the truth about the persecution.” When he was told that practitioners become physically and mentally healthy through practicing, Wiggo was intrigued and said he was interested in learning how to practice Falun Dafa.

Falun Gong practitioner Diana Cucchietti is from Venezuela, lives in Spain, and teaches English. While on vacation in Oslo, she learned that practitioners in Oslo would hold activities on July 20, so she went to the Royal Park of Norway to participate in the morning exercises.

After they finished the exercises, Diana shared her experience with her fellow practitioners. She said, “When I was practicing, I saw an energy mass in front of my eyes, it was transparent and light purple in color. The energy mass was tumbling and changing, and it was difficult to describe. I felt peaceful. It was a wonderful experience. Not only myself, but I also saw that there were such energy clusters surrounding the practitioners next to me.”

Diana was saddened by the CCP’s 25-year-long persecution of Falun Dafa and said, “Practitioners are peaceful, and harm no one. This persecution doesn’t make any sense. Instead it shows that the CCP has no conscience and is irrational. All the CCP wants is to control people, physically and mentally.”
