Millions of Falun Gong books, videotapes, and audiotapes have been confiscated and burned. Over 500 show trials have been conducted without the right to legal representation, leading to sentences of up to 18 years in prison. Outside China, the regime has carried out a major campaign of misinformation, harassment and intimidation using all the reasons at its disposal. This amounts to serious intimidation of European citizens. Falun Gong is a peaceful practice of gentle exercises and meditation for stress relief and overall mental, physical and spiritual health.
Practitioners live by the moral standards of truthfulness, compassion and tolerance.
It is popular throughout Europe with classes in most European cities and literature translated into major European languages.
