(Minghui.org) Practitioners held an Information Day on Place Paul Bert in Lorient, France, on Saturday, August 31, 2024. They demonstrated the exercises, introduced Falun Dafa’s principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, and told people how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) persecutes Falun Dafa and its practitioners.

Lorient, the second largest town in the Morbihan department of Brittany in western France, is a seaport. The popular Festival Interceltique de Lorient (Inter-Celtic Festival of Lorient) music festival is held here.

A martial arts school owner stopped by the Falun Dafa booth and wanted to take pictures of practitioners. He signed a petition calling for an end to the CCP’s persecution and took introductory flyers to share with his friends. He said it was important to learn about Falun Dafa, and he planned to tell his friends to sign the petition.

A local shop employee who signed the petition said that she’d been given an introductory flyer, searched on the Internet, and read an article about the CCP’s crime of organ harvesting from Falun Dafa practitioners. The sentence, “It’s conclusive that Falun Gong practitioners have become victims of organ harvesting,” left deep impression on her. She shared the link to the article with her friends on Instagram and encouraged them to find out more about Falun Dafa.

Isabel, a math teacher, was interested in Falun Dafa. She was saddened by the persecution and signed the petition. She thanked practitioners for the information and said she planned to read the Falun Dafa books and learn the exercises.

Many people signed the petition calling for an end to the persecution. They encouraged practitioners to keep up their great efforts. Some took practitioners’ contact information so they could learn the exercises.
