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.
