(Clearwisdom.net) On March 20, 2003 at 12 am, 8 hours before the Chinese
government's show trial of US citizen and Falun Gong practitioner Dr. Charles
Li, Dafa Practitioners from Dallas, Texas held a rally at Kennedy Memorial
Square in Dallas and called for immediate action to rescue Charles Li, who had
been detained for 57 days.
The Falun Gong representative pointed out in his speech that since July 1999,
the Chinese government has never followed the law but instead resorted to brutal
persecution and suppression. On August 24, the Jiang regime ordered all lawyers
not to defend Falun Gong practitioners. In 2001 it made a slight revision that
allowed government appointed lawyers who represent the government's position to
defend Falun Gong practitioners, essentially making their trials into show
trials.
He further pointed out that the Chinese government's actions disregard the
United Nations declaration of human rights, disregard the Chinese constitution
and basic human rights, and encroach upon people's most basic right--the right
to live.
Dr. Charles Li's friends were also present and expressed their shock and
concern over Charles's arrest.
People in attendance held a petition drive and appealed for people to stand
together to rescue Charles Li.
