Practitioners in the United Kingdom joined thousands of others last night, in a 3-day worldwide vigil. This peaceful protest is to condemn the recent killing of 20 Falun Gong practitioners in 22 days, through mistreatment and torture whilst in police custody in China. Practitioners gathered outside of the Chinese Embassy in London and the Chinese Consulate in Manchester, to appeal against this horrific and barbaric display of violence. They practised the exercises and did the righteous thoughts meditation and lit candles in honour of the innocent practitioners who have died at the hands of the Chinese Government. Press conferences and the 3-Day Worldwide Vigil are being held in over 30 cities around the world, including New York, Boston, Washington DC, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Toronto, Ottawa, Paris, Geneva, Stockholm, Taipei, Tokyo, and Hong Kong. Their aim is to make all kind-hearted people aware of the recent increase in arrests, killings and torture of innocent Falun Gong practitioners and to expose the criminals involved.
