(Note: Despite the bad weather, many Falun Gong practitioners and supporters
in Boston area still showed up in the press conference to express their
opinions. (Photography by Yuqing Yang) (Clearwisdom.net) World Journal, January 15, Boston -- Practitioners in Boston area today held
a press conference in a park near China Town, accusing Chinese government (Jiang
Zemin) killed 22 Falun Gong practitioners inside China within the last 22 days.
In a press statement issued in the conference, they said there would be a
three-day candle light vigil in over 30 cities all over the world in attempt to
bring worldwide attention to Chinese Government's (Jiang Zemin) persecution
against Falun Gong. They stated that Falun Gong practitioners would gather
around Chinese Consulates all over the world to hold candle light vigils to
condemn the recent situation of arresting, torturing and even killing Falun Gong
practitioners in China. The cities included are New York, Boston, Washington DC,
Chicago, Los Angles, San Francisco, Toronto, London, Paris, Taipei, Tokyo and
Hong Kong, etc. In the conference, they showed many evidences of inhumane
treatments toward Falun Gong practitioners in China, hoping to let the public
know the atrocity committed by Chinese Government. A local practitioner said
those practitioners in China were only gathering together to practice the
exercises and they had no intent to do anything against the government, so he
couldn't accept that Chinese government called them [Jiang's slanderous name
omitted.] He also felt sorrow that Falun Gong practitioners in China were being
brutally tortured. He hoped that everybody in the world could become aware of
those incredible persecution, torture and atrocities committed by Chinese
Government against Falun Gong practitioners in China and therefore help the
practitioners to obtain justice.
