[Minghui Net] The Falun Dafa Association of Japan held a press conference on Jan. 26, to point out that Falun Dafa strictly forbids killing and suicide, and that only those who strictly abide by the principles of Falun Dafa can be called Falun Dafa practitioners.

From 10 am to 2 pm on the same day, more than 20 practitioners went to the Chinese Embassy in Japan to appeal. They held banners reading, "Self-Immolation is a deception used to frame Falun Gong", "Stop Persecuting Falun Gong", "The Wickedness is not tolerated by Heaven," etc., in both Chinese and Japanese. Practitioners appealed to international institutions to launch an independent investigation of the self-immolation incident at Tiananmen Square, based on the many suspicious items found in the Chinese media reporting of this event, and that they should then release the truth to the whole world.

The principal Japanese media, including Asahi Television, Fuji Television Network and Yomiuri, interviewed the practitioners on site and then broadcast the interviews at noon on the same day.

After the practitioners in Japan petitioned on Feb. 2, they said they would continue their appeal from Feb. 5 through Feb. 9, in front of the Chinese Embassy, to allow more people know the truth. No matter what the weather, there is always a group of people who are determined to inform the people of the truth.
