(Minghui.org) Falun Gong practitioners in Germany held an event on Max-Jeseph Platz in front of the Munich Residenz, the former royal palace of the Wittelsbach monarchs of Bavaria, to showcase the beauty of Falun Gong and expose the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)’s persecution of practitioners on March 30, 2024, the Easter holiday. The activity received support from the people passing by, and some Chinese tourists gave a thumbs up to express their appreciation.

Passersby signed a petition to support Falun Gong practitioners in their efforts to end the persecution in China.
Falun Gong practitioners unfurled banners which were printed “Falun Dafa,” “Truthfulness Compassion Forbearance,” “Returning to Traditional Humanity Is the Only Way Out,” and “The Chinese Communist Party harvests organs from living Falun Gong practitioners.” People passing by could easily see the banners at a glance. Some people stopped to talk with practitioners, and many of them signed a petition showing their support for practitioners in their effort to end the persecution in China.
A tourist group from China passed by the information booth that day. Many Chinese people stopped to take photos, and some accepted newspapers. A middle-aged male tourist said to the practitioners: “The Communist Party is the worst. They are almost finished.” Another Chinese tourist gave a thumbs-up to the practitioners.

American college student Charlie and his parents were visiting Munich. After his mother and Charlie signed their signature to show their support for Falun Gong, he commented that he felt bad for the Chinese citizens who didn’t have a voice in their country under dictatorship rule.
The Falun Gong practitioners meditating at the event looked very peaceful to him. “It looks like they are happy. I am not very familiar with Falun Gong, but it seems very interesting,” he said.
He added that Falun Gong seemed very peaceful and healthy when he learned that Falun Gong follows the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. Falun Gong exercise teaching is free worldwide, he added, “Practitioners shouldn’t be persecuted for just cultivating and meditating. It shows how bad the ruling party is. People should be able to do everything freely.”
