Washington D.C. Dafa Practitioners Hunger Strike to Protest Jiang Regime's Mass Persecution against Practitioners from Changchun City


(Clearwisdom.net)

Since the broadcast of the truth about the persecution of Falun Gong in Changchun, the Jiang's regime has escalated its persecution against Falun Gong practitioners. The situation of practitioners in China is getting more severe. In order to support our fellow practitioners in China, from March 26, practitioners from Washington DC launched a six-day appeal activity in front of the Washington Monument. In the early morning of March 27, several practitioners started a hunger strike. At 8pm, over 30 practitioners from Washington DC and other states held a candlelight vigil in front of the Washington Monument and called for the international community to help end the mass persecution against Falun Gong practitioners from the Changchun area.

Today, a cold snap hit Washington DC. The temperature at night dropped to close to 0oC. In the chill weather, practitioners lit candles and together sent forth righteous thoughts.
