Ottawa 24-Hour Around Clock Peaceful Appeal in Front of the Chinese Embassy Entered the 100th Day


October 14, 2001 was the 100th day of the peaceful appeal in front of the Chinese Embassy. Practitioners from Ottawa and Montreal held a press conference in front of the Embassy. Local press Ottawa Sun, Ottawa Citizen, TV stations of CTV and New RO, a French press Le Doir, and a French radio station Radio Canada came and covered the event.

4. Hunger strike to support practitioners in China

From August 22 to September 7, nine practitioners participated in the hunger strike in front of the Embassy to support 130 practitioners who were on hunger strike in the Mashanjia Labor Camp in China

  1. Righteous thoughts are powerful

On October 1, 2001, practitioners held a candlelight vigil in front of the Chinese Embassy to call for abolishment of the 610 Office and bring Luo Gan to Justice. Falun appeared while we sent forth righteous thoughts.

6. "Never in the history has someone who persecuted those with upright faiths ever succeeded."

The evil force fears the revealing of the truth. Practitioners' tape recorder and banners were stolen several times at night. Some banners were torn on the spot. The evil force attempted to stop our silent sitting, but it was unavailing. The Chinese Embassy sent people taking photos and making threatening conversations. Nothing can waver practitioners' belief in Falun Dafa.

On the night of September 29, practitioners' banners were torn and the sitting site was damaged

  1. "If the persecution doesn't stop, we will not leave."

    2. From October 14, 2001 on, we will change 24-hour sitting to daylight sitting. We will face the cold winter test. Practitioners' belief is as solid as a rock: "If the persecution doesn't stop, we will not leave."
