Philadelphia, USA: Calling for an End to the Persecution in Front of the Liberty Bell (Photo) By a Philadelphia Falun Dafa Practitioner (Clearwisdom.net) Philadelphia's Liberty Bell is a symbol of America's
freedom and democracy, and it is a very famous tourist site. To call for help to
stop the Jiang regime's persecution against Falun Gong practitioners, local
practitioners have come to the Liberty Bell to practice the exercises on a daily
basis and distribute truth-clarifying materials since the persecution started in
1999.
Practicing in front of the Liberty Bell
On a Sunday morning, more than 10 Falun Gong practitioners practiced on the
lawn in front of the Liberty Bell. When the practitioners were practicing the
second set of the exercises, a Chinese lady came and watched us practicing.
Seeing that she was observing, I approached her with a smile and talked with
her. She told me that she came from Connecticut to see the Liberty Bell and was
attracted by our practice. At that time, there were Caucasian, African-American,
Chinese, and Korean practitioners practicing the exercises. She said that there
were few Chinese people where she lives, and she didn't know that people from so
many different races practiced Falun Gong. She also said that she had two
professor friends in China who had been persecuted for practicing Falun Gong.
She was surprised to hear that more than 800 Falun Gong practitioners have been
persecuted to death for persisting in this peaceful practice.
Each day, many tourists signed our petition book to call for an immediate end
of the persecution and release of U.S. citizen Charles Li, who has been
illegally imprisoned by the Jiang regime. Posting date: 11/30/2003
