Vancouver: Practitioners Initiate Falun Gong Cross Canada Tour for Justice (Photos)

(Clearwisdom.net) Report from Vancouver, Canada - A press conference was held in Vancouver October 19 for the Falun Gong Cross Canada Tour for Justice initiated by Canadian practitioners the weekend before on neighboring Vancouver Island. The goal of the car tour is to call upon Canadian people to express concern toward the brutal persecution of Falun Gong practitioners and work together to bring Jiang Zemin, the chief perpetrator that persecuted the people to justice.

The press conference was held in front of Vancouver Central Art Gallery. A local practitioner read a statement from the Falun Gong Cross Canada Tour for Justice on behalf of participating practitioners. The car tour will cross Canada, to thank the Canadian people and government's efforts to rescue Falun Gong practitioners and call for Canadian people to work together to bring Jiang Zemin to justice.

A local practitioner gave vivid testimony of the tragedy her family had suffered. Her mom and brother-in-low were persecuted to death and her sister was arrested and her whereabouts is still unknown. She called upon people to join the global coalition to bring Jiang to justice. In the meantime, practitioners will also introduce the beneficial practice of Falun Gong.

Another practitioner participating in the car tour felt that the car tour carried different meaning compared to the precious car tour two years ago. The last car tour was to urgently rescue Falun Gong practitioners persecuted in China. Now the environment is different. More and more people have learned the truth of Falun Gong. The Global Coalition to Bring Jiang to Justice comprises of over 100 organizations and individuals. The purpose of the car tour is to let people know the significance of bringing Jiang to justice and that Jiang's persecution of Falun Gong is the persecution of conscience and justice of the world.

A team of 4 practitioners in the car tour will pass over 50 cities along the route and reach Quebec in about one month. Along the route, they will visit the city governments, NGOs media, and Chinese communities.
