Goslar News, April 14, 2002: "Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance," read the proud letters on yellow sweatshirts worn by members of Falun Gong as they proceeded in a silent protest march through Goslar. After meeting on Friday shortly before 3:00 p.m., they assembled and walked through the inner city to the train station. Approximately 60 participants from many different nations carried banners to raise awareness of the almost three year-old and still ongoing persecution of Falun Gong in China, a movement outlawed by Jiang Zemin. They used the occasion of his state visit to drive their message home.

They condemned the torture methods used by representatives of the Chinese government and demanded an end to executions. Millions of people in China embrace this spiritual meditation system. They meditated and performed their qigong movements for several hours at Jakobikirchhof (at Jacob's Church property).
