Breaking News: Falun Gong Practitioners Around the World Will Hold Press Conferences Calling on the Jiang and Luo Regime to Stop Killing

(Clearwisdom.net)

From January 12 to 14, Falun Gong practitioners around the world will hold press conferences and peaceful appeals to expose the Jiang regime's persecution of Falun Gong practitioners and demand an end to the killing. Since November 2002, reports of forty-three practitioners being killed in forced labor camps, detention centers, jails, and "Rehab" Centers have been received overseas. Of the 43 cases received, 22 have died since November. The others died before November, but the news was delayed due to the information blockade in China. These practitioners were illegally detained and eventually persecuted to death solely because of their belief in Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance.
