At noon on April 7, 2003, American citizen Charles Li's fiancée, Ms. Yeong-ching Foo and Falun Dafa practitioners in the San Francisco Bay Area held a 24-hour appeal in front of the Chinese Consulate and a press conference condemning the Chinese regime's brutal persecution of Falun Gong practitioners, and demanding the immediate and unconditional release of Charles Li.

At the press conference, Ms. Yeong-ching Foo pointed out that the sit-in appeal is to raise awareness of the American public to the illegal detention and three-year sentence imposed upon Charles Li, to call on more kind-hearted people to take action to condemn the Chinese regime's persecution of Falun Gong practitioners, and to help gain the release of Charles Li and bring him back to America as soon as possible.

Since the Jiang regime began suppressing Falun Gong on July 20, 1999, they have never followed the law while persecuting Falun Gong practitioners.

The regime has utilized TV, newspaper and radio to fabricate lies to slander Falun Gong. The Chinese people have no way to learn the truth about Falun Gong so they have been deceived by the lies. Over the past three plus years, in the face of the brutal persecution, Falun Gong practitioners have been following the principle of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance," and with their wisdom and courage, they have used various peaceful means to clarify the truth about the persecution of Falun Gong to the Chinese people and people of the world.

In the following few days, Falun Gong practitioners will continue their sit-in appeal in front of the Chinese Consulate, protesting the Chinese regime's illegal detention of Charles Li.
