(Minghui.org) Falun Dafa practitioners in Norway held a series of events to mark the 27th anniversary of their efforts to call for an end to the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution. Various events took place in the capital, Oslo, and the western city of Egersund, on July 18, 20, and 25, 2026.
Practitioners did the exercises together, distributed flyers, and talked to people about the persecution of Falun Dafa (also called Falun Gong), which has been going on for 27 years. Many people stopped to learn more and expressed their support for the practitioners’ persistence in opposing the persecution. Some said they were interested in practicing Falun Gong.
Residents Thank Practitioners for Introducing Falun Gong
Practitioners held an event in Egersund, once named Norway’s most beautiful small town, on July 18. They demonstrated the exercises in Egersund’s central square and talked to people about the CCP’s persecution. Many passersby thanked them for letting them know how the CCP persecutes Falun Gong practitioners.
Protesting Peacefully in Front of the Chinese Embassy Every Day for the Past 27 Years
On Saturday, July 18 and Saturday, July 25, practitioners protested in front of the Chinese Embassy in Oslo. For the past 27 years, the practitioners’ ongoing protest in front of the embassy has become a familiar scene.
Residents who understand how Falun Gong is persecuted in China, honked their horns or waved to practitioners. On July 25, several police officers on duty were carrying out their duties in front of the Chinese embassy for the first time, so they received materials about Falun Gong and learned of the CCP’s brutal persecution against Falun Gong practitioners.
Passersby Commend Practitioners’ Efforts
Practitioners held an event in front of the Storting Building (Stortingsbygningen) Norway’s seat of Parliament, on July 25. Many passers-by stopped to learn about Falun Gong and the persecution and signed the petition calling for its end.
Meda from Eritrea, said, after learning about the CCP’s crimes against humanity, “In our country, we also adopted the CCP’s ideology of struggle and fighting with others.”
He said the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners, who live by Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance, is completely unreasonable. He explained that the CCP’s ideology of struggle and fighting with others has also harmed his country, and that people should cherish Falun Gong’s principles of Truthfulness, Compassion and Forbearance.
People Take Up Falun Gong
Practitioners in Oslo also held additional events on July 25 at the Palace Park, in front of the Parliament Building, and in front of the Chinese Embassy. Despite the CCP’s ongoing persecution and slander against Falun Gong, this traditional mind-body cultivation practice has spread to over 100 countries and regions worldwide, garnering recognition and support from an increasing number of people.
Johanne from Spain lives in Oslo. When she passed by the Palace Park about three months ago and saw practitioners doing the exercises, she decided to try out the practice. She really likes Falun Gong and said she feels great when she does the exercises. Johanne said, “Persecuting Falun Gong is wrong!”
Twenty-eight-year-old Max lives in central Norway. Two years ago, he saw practitioners clarifying the truth about the persecution to people in front of the Parliament Building. After speaking with a practitioner, he became interested in Falun Gong.
He again met practitioners on July 25, in front of the Parliament Building, and told a practitioner that he’d started practicing Falun Gong. “I ordered a copy of Zhuan Falun and the book answered many of my questions,” he explained. “These are answers that I could not find in other cultivation books.”
He added, “I’ve been looking into spiritual practices since I was 16. I tried several, but none of them could answer all my questions.” Max said he was very happy that he found Falun Gong and hoped that more people in his city could also learn about it. Before he left, he took many copies of informational materials about Falun Gong.
