(Clearwisdom.net) On September 11, 2004, Russian Falun Gong practitioners held activities in Nevski in the center of St Petersburg to explain the facts about Falun Gong to the public. Practitioners dressed in white and sat meditating behind candles to commemorate those practitioners who have died due to state-terrorism in China. Practitioners standing behind held banners reading, "The World Needs 'Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance.'

Huge crowds gathered to watch the activities and quietly read the banners. Many people stood for a long period of time and gathered around to find out more.
