Los Angeles Practitioners Hold Press Conference to Call for Release of the Western Practitioners Arrested in China


Los Angeles Dafa Practitioner

Hearing that three dozen Western practitioners were arrested in China on November 20, 2001, Los Angeles Dafa practitioners held an urgent press conference in front of the Los Angeles Consulate General at 2:00 p.m. on the afternoon of November 20, 2001. They exposed the matter to Chinese and English media and read out a declaration from a local American and Irish practitioner (dual nationality) who is a freshman in a California University and went to Tiananmen to appeal. They also demanded that China immediately release the Western practitioners.

Many Chinese and English media including ABC, CBS, South California University TV station and other TV stations, Chinese Daily, Taiwanese Daily, and Vietnam Chinese Daily attended the conference and conducted interviews on the spot.
