(Minghui.org) Practitioners introduced the practice, raised the awareness of the persecution in China, and invited people to sign a petition to end the state-sanctioned organ harvesting in the pedestrian zone near the City Hall of Burgas, the fourth largest city in Bulgaria, on June 8, 2014.
For the steady flow of tourists from around the world during this busy time of summer, practitioners set up banners and distributed brochures in Bulgarian, English, Russian, French and other languages.
Some of the practitioners demonstrated the Falun Gong exercises, and others talked to people about the Chinese regime's brutal persecution of Falun Gong.
Many people who have heard about Falun Gong for the first time were attracted by the gentle and peaceful Falun Gong exercises. Some of them learned the exercises right there and then, and many of them asked where they could continue learning the exercises.
People were shocked by the brutality of the 15-year persecution in China and were especially disturbed by the Chinese Communist Party's systematic practice of harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners. They expressed their support by signing a petition calling to end this heinous crime.
Practitioners in Burgas, Bulgaria talk to people about the persecution and collect signatures for a petition to end the forced organ harvesting in China.
