John Zheng of Seattle holds a protest sign before accompanying about a dozen other Falun Gong supporters at the start of their protest march from Seattle, Washington to San Francisco, California on August 22, 2001. The protestors are walking 900 miles in 50 days to bring attention to the political imprisonment of U.S. resident Dr. Teng Chunyan who is sentenced to three years in a Chinese prison after she protested in China the crackdown of Falun Gong practitioners by the Chinese government. Prior to her arrest, Teng operated a clinic in New York City. REUTERS/Anthony P. Bolante
