At 9:00am, about 30 practitioners gathered in front of the Chinese Consulate in Melbourne, wearing white T-shirts with “SOS Urgent Rescue Falun Gong Practitioners Persecuted in China.” After sending forth righteous thoughts, we walked towards the State Congress building in downtown Melbourne. As we walked, more practitioners as well as more than 20 Melbourne citizens joined the walk, which made our procession number more than 100 people. We walked for one and a half hours, and reached the building at 2:00pm. The event was concluded after practitioners demonstrated the five sets of exercises.
