(Clearwisdom.net) On May 15, 2010, practitioners held activities in Stuttgart, the famous German "Mercedes-Benz Automobile City," promoting Falun Dafa and exposing the persecution in China.
Falun Dafa Information Day in Stuttgart, Germany catches the attention of passers-by
Stuttgart is known for its main industry of manufacturing Mercedes-Benz automobiles. On busy King Street, practitioners set up three booths. The booth in the middle had a banner that read, "Immediately Stop the Persecution of Falun Gong". The booth on the left introduced the practice. The booth on the right had the theme of "Stop the CCP's removing organs from live Falun Gong practitioners."
On the ground around the booths, practitioners demonstrated the exercises accompanied by music, which attracted many passers-by. Some went directly to the booths to enquire about Falun Dafa, some quietly watched and then asked questions, and others expressed that they wanted to learn the practice and went away with informational materials. One person came specially to present flowers to the practitioners, thanking them for demonstrating such good exercises.
After learning about the persecution, some passers-by from the former East Germany said, "The nature of all Communist Parties is same; they are all authoritarian and violent." They expressed their understanding and support to the practitioners.
There were still some people who had never heard of the persecution. They were shocked to hear about it and felt it difficult to believe.
On seeing a group of tourists from China coming, a Chinese practitioner went forward to clarify the truth to them. They accepted Falun Gong information leaflets and newspapers but returned Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, saying they had already read it in China. They said they would carefully read the leaflets when they got home.
