Revealing the Truth on the UN International Day "Against Torture" in London's China Town

July 1, 2001

June 26, was the UN International Day "Against Torture". Falun Gong practitioners certainly would not miss the chance to Hong Fa [introduce Falun Dafa,] and to reveal the true facts about the persecution of Falun Dafa. Dafa practitioners hung up banners with striking words "Against torture", "SOS", and set up display boards with photos and pictures of those Falun Gong practitioners who have been tortured to death in China.

The banners and the display boards caught the eyes of many people, causing them to stop and read the display boards. Many overseas Chinese residents and overseas Chinese students, after they saw the pictures and stories of how Falun Gong practitioners in China have been tortured, willingly took Dafa newspapers and materials. Some of them even signed the petition. In the past, many overseas Chinese students were not willing to accept Dafa materials, but this time, obviously they were shocked by the truth after they saw the photos. Some of them even asked for materials about the truth of the "self-immolation".

Though we only had a few practitioners demonstrating the exercise, the energy field was very strong and attracted many people's attention. Many people stood there watching. One gentleman said, "It is beyond my belief and understanding why the Chinese authorities are persecuting people like you. You are so peaceful". A Chinese delegation from Mainland China came to China Town. They talked to us and said "Many people like them in China have been deceived by the Chinese authorities. Many local authorities are indeed very cruel to Falun Gong practitioners in China."

A gentleman born in Czechoslovakia, now working in Taiwan, took a big bundle of English Dafa newspapers, saying he is going to give them to his friends in Taiwan, to let them know about Falun Dafa.

The weather was quite hot in London, but none of the practitioners felt uncomfortable. When the whole activity finished in the evening, we all felt the display boards were very effective for Hong Fa, telling the truth and revealing the evil.
