(Clearwisdom.net) Falun Gong practitioners took part in the Asian Festival held in Bern, Switzerland. They set up an information booth in Thun Square and demonstrated the Falun Gong exercises on the stage. They raised awareness about the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong practitioners both inside and outside China.

The demonstration of the peaceful and gentle exercises in the crowded and noisy environment attracted many spectators. Many signed the petition on the spot protesting the Chinese Communist regime's persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. Others accepted leaflets exposing the Chinese regime's atrocity of harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners.

Most of the practitioners who attended the event were westerners. They understood Chinese culture much better after they started the practice of Falun Gong

Mr. Waldokov is a businessman living in Bern's suburb Ostermundigen. He had heard of Falun Gong several years ago, and wondered why the Chinese Communist regime would persecute Falun Gong. He said, "I think it (Falun Gong) is very good; there is nothing bad about it. I fully support Falun Gong. People should do more things like these practitioners are doing. Their activities not only can benefit individuals, but they can also help promote world peace."

Mr. Waldokov often came across Falun Gong practitioners in the Bern Rose Garden over the past several years. He received much information about Falun Gong and gained more understanding about the persecution. Regarding the persecution, he said: "I think it is a tragedy, very miserable. It is a curse upon the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). They found that they cannot control the situation and try to rationalize the persecution with every means they can come up with. However, the persecution is doomed to fail, no matter what. It is most unfortunate that a lot of people will suffer as a result.

During the Asian Festival, Mr. Waldokov learned of the Communist regime's atrocities of harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners. He was appalled and commented, "Those responsible for these atrocities will surely be punished in the end."

Mr. Waldokov admires China and Chinese people and thinks that the Chinese Communist regime will not last long. When he heard that twenty four million Chinese people had quit the CCP, he smiled and said, "I hope it keeps spreading like wild fire, reaching every corner of China."

A passerby named Diana never heard of Falun Gong before. She asked how she could learn Falun Gong as soon as she saw the brochure at the information booth. A practitioner told her that she could learn it at the practice site near her residence, free of charge. He also offered to teach her the exercises on the spot. She immediately started learning the five sets of the exercises.

"This is the first time I tried Falun Gong. It is so wonderful!" she said, "I just came out for a walk and came across the information booth. I walked toward the booth unintentionally, just like being attracted by a magnet." She thanked the practitioners repeatedly when she was about to leave.
