Hong Kong: Appeal to Urge the Release of Jilin Fellow Practitioners That Are Being Tortured (Photos)
By Hong Kong Practitioners
(Clearwisdom.net) On Monday, November 3, 2003, Hong Kong practitioners held
sitting-in appeal and candle light vigil to demand Jiang's regime to immediately
release over 100 Falun Gong practitioners being imprisoned in Jilin prison and
who are on hunger strike to protest the brutal torture. On Monday evening, over 100 Hong Kong Falun Gong practitioners gathered in
Chater Garden to support the fellow practitioners being tortured in Jilin
prison. Some of them marched to the Hong Kong government headquarters, read out
loud an appeal letter from all practitioners to Chinese President Hu Jintao and
Primer Wen Jiabao, and they asked the Hong Kong government to pass on the
letter. They urged the two new leaders to withdraw policies of persecuting Falun
Gong and immediately release all Falun Gong practitioners being illegally
imprisoned. Falun Gong practitioners wrote in the letter, "Over one hundred practitioners
in Jilin Prison are now on hunger strike to protest against the brutal torture.
Mr. Liu Chengjun, a practitioner from Changchun City, Jilin Province, is now in
grave danger. On March 5, 2002, Mr. Liu intercepted the Changchun cable TV
signal and broadcasted Falun Gong truth-clarification programs. His purpose was
to break through the information blockage by the Chinese government and help
people learn about the truth of Falun Gong. As a result, he was sentenced to 13
years in prison. While in detention, he was brutally tortured and is now in
critical condition." "The persecution against Falun Gong was initiated by Jiang
Zemin and based on lies and blocking the news. The criminals, including Jiang,
must be brought to justice. Their crimes include their attempt to eliminate
Falun Gong practitioners and destroy the Chinese people's morality, sense of
justice and conscience." After dark, the practitioners lit candles and mourned for those fellow
practitioners who were tortured to death. The exercise demonstration and posters
attracted passers-by to stop and look. On Wednesday, November 5, before the meeting of legislative committee, Falun
Gong practitioners held a sit-in appeal to support those fellow practitioners on
hunger strike in Jilin prison. They unfurled banners and posters calling for
their release, and handed over appeal letters to legislative committee members.
They hoped the members would pay attention to the Mainland practitioners'
plight, help stop the persecution of Falun Gong and urge Chinese regime to
release all practitioners being imprisoned.
