By Chicago Falun Gong practitioners
(Clearwisdom.net) At 4am on December 26, Mr. Liu Chengjun died after 21
months of torture and abuse by Jiang's regime. Mr. Liu was a participant in the March
5th 2002 TV tapping to broadcast the truth about the persecution of Falun Gong to the Chinese people. Their courage shocked the world and dealt a big blow to Jiang Zemin. Mr. Liu was then arrested and had subjected to severe
torture and abuse. Upon hearing of his death, practitioners
decided to hold a press conference in front of Chinese Consulate Chicago to
protest Liu Chengjun'so death. They also called for the punishment of those responsible, to bring Dictator Jiang to justice, and to end the persecution of Falun Gong.
Practitioners hurried to make two banners "The Murder of Mr. Liu Chengjun is
not permitted by heavenly principles" and "Bring Murderer Jiang Zemin
to Justice." They prepared speeches for the press conference
and fliers for distribution. Practitioners only have one wish, "Bring
the murderers to justice and stop the persecution immediately!"
At 9am on December 29, in succession practitioners came to Chinese Consulate
to protest peacefully. Accompanied by the serene exercise music, practitioners
silently practiced the exercises and sent righteous thoughts. The two banners were
especially striking. In an endless stream, people came to the Consulate to get
visas and vehicles passed. Many people accepted fliers and learned the truth.
On 1pm, the press conference started. In both English and Chinese,
practitioners read Mr. Liu's story and had a moment of silence to mourn for Mr. Liu.
The event concluded successfully. Consulate officials complained to police that the practitioners were "disturbing the peace." The head of the police office in that district came
and he commended Falun Gong practitioners as a "very peaceful
group" and allowed the peaceful protest to continue.
Chicago Channel 7, Epoch Times, NTD TV and Chicago New Century TV came to
cover the event.
