(Minghui.org) On the 2nd of May, practitioners from Slovenia, Croatia, Austria, and Serbia gathered on Prešernov trg in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, to raise awareness of the state-sanctioned killing of Falun Gong practitioners for their organs in China.
The weather was pleasant despite a forecast for rain, and the streets were full of people and tourist groups seeing the sights.
Passersby stopped at the booth where practitioners were collecting signatures on a petition to protest the persecution, distributing flyers with Falun Gong information, and demonstrating the Falun Gong exercises. Many were shocked to learn about the persecution happening in China.
An older woman who spoke to one of the practitioners said that her grandmother was Jewish and had been persecuted by the Nazis during World War II. She was sad to hear that the same thing is happening to people in China today.
The practitioners' event was well received by the public. Many people signed the petition, and several Chinese tourists even took pictures of the booth and the practitioners. A group of young people followed along with the exercise movements.
