(Clearwisdom.net) To express their support and concern of over 100 Falun
Gong practitioners on hunger strike in Jilin Prison, Falun Gong practitioners
from Los Angeles held a candlelight vigil outside the Chinese Consulate on the
evening of October 28. They asked the Chinese government to release all Falun
Gong practitioners on hunger strikes and all illegally detained Falun Gong
practitioners. They called upon the general public to be concerned with the
development of this matter and give their urgent support.
To protest the brutal torture, these Falun Gong practitioners have been on
hunger strikes for many days, and their lives are in great danger. It has been
confirmed that Changchun practitioner Liu Chengjun has been on the brink of
death for several days.
Falun Gong practitioners expressed that the Jiang regime's persecution of
Falun Gong is totally based on lies. Falun Gong practitioners in China do not
have any channels and opportunities to expression their views. The extent and
the degree of the brutal persecution have been covered up by the government's
propaganda machinery. To reduce the persecution and let the general public know
the truth of Falun Gong, practitioners in China such as Liu Chengjun used means
like tapping into TV signals to expose the persecution. It is a righteous act
and one of great courage. Sadly, they are being brutally tortured. Falun Gong
practitioners detained in prison do not have any channels through which to lodge
their complaints. A hunger strike is often the only way to protest the
persecution. Falun Gong practitioners appeal to the international community to
understand the cruelty of this persecution and extend their help to stop it.
