(Clearwisdon.net) On March 21, 2002, to protest the Jiang regime's recent order of "Killing without mercy" and for the urgent rescue of over 100 Falun Gong practitioners arrested recently in Changchun City, Falun Gong practitioners from Tokyo and nearby areas gathered again and called for Japanese society and local residents to uphold justice and stop the Jiang regime's persecution against Falun Gong practitioners.

At 9:55 a.m., about 150 practitioners from Tokyo, Yokohama, Chiba, Saitama, Sendai, Nagano, Shizuoka and Yamagata gathered in Abisu Park, and sent forth righteous thoughts. The parade started at 1:00 p.m. and passed by busy streets around the Chinese Embassy. Large banners reading "Immediately Stop Jiang Zemin Regime's Shooting" and "Urgent: Rescue the Falun Gong Practitioners Illegally Arrested in Changchun" led the parade.

At 2:40 p.m., the parade ended in a park full of cherry blossoms. The practitioners distributed truth-clarifying literature in different parks where people were enjoying viewing the flowers. (Reported from Tokyo on March 21, 2002)
