Yesterday followers and practitioners of Falun Gong assembled late in the afternoon in Slottsskogen for a candlelight vigil.

The reason was that there has been a dramatic increase in the number of Falun Gong followers who have been killed in China during the last weeks. According to information from the Falun Gong Information Center, there have been reports of 20 followers killed in China during the last three weeks plus.

The followers are said to have been killed through torture and beatings in police custody at several different places in China.
