(Clearwisdom.net) From May 8 to 15, 2011, Falun Gong practitioners from Germany held all kinds of activities in several major cities to celebrate the 12th World Falun Dafa Day and the 60th birthday of Master Li Hongzhi. Practitioners demonstrated the exercises, passed out truth-clarifying materials, set up display boards, and answered questions from the public. Many people learned about Falun Gong and the persecution in China. They signed petitions expressing their support of Falun Gong and some of them also learned the exercises.
