(Minghui.org) In Flower Square in Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, Falun Dafa practitioners held an “Information Day” activity on February 20, 2016.
Croatian and Slovenian practitioners demonstrated the exercises, collected signatures on the Doctors Against Forced Organ Harvesting (DAFOH) petition, distributed leaflets, and informed people about the practice, the persecution, and the organ harvesting atrocity.
Many passersby watched the practitioners doing the exercises for a long time. A large number of them requested information on the local practice site, and some wanted to learn the exercises that day.
People sign petitions while practitioners do the exercises.
Those who stopped to read posters about the persecution and organ harvesting wanted to learn more about it.
Passersby learn about organ harvesting by reading the poster and talking with practitioners.
While clarifying the truth to one man, a practitioner said that we should not remain silent about the persecution. The gentleman responded, "I understand. Then the evil would be even more out of control."
As the practitioners were setting up, an elderly gentleman came over. A practitioner told him briefly about the practice and asked him if he wanted a leaflet. The man said he had very bad eyesight and could not read, so the practitioner asked if he wanted her to explain the information to him and he nodded. He listened very carefully. The practitioner encouraged him to remember, "Falun Dafa is good!"
Another man said, "What kind of person does not do at least a bit of good for the world around him?" He condemned the persecution, and said that people don’t care about problems if the problems don’t affect them directly, but that we are all connected, and that what happens to someone else now can happen to us tomorrow.
One man commented that the persecution was possible because moral standards are declining, and people do not care about each other. Another said that such people (who persecute) dare to do so because they do not believe in God and retribution for their sins. He then added that laws cannot control people, that restraint should come from their hearts, their conscience, and their belief in something higher.
Passersby queue up to sign the petitions opposing forced organ harvesting and in support of those suing former leader Jiang Zemin.
Many people signed both the petition to stop organ harvesting and a petition in support of those who are filing lawsuits against Jiang Zemin for initiating the persecution. Some said that they were doctors and expressed their indignation about organ harvesting.
One of the doctors asked a practitioner for explicit details. After signing both petitions, he expressed an interest in joining DAFOH. Another doctor, who is a military official, expressed his support.
