New York: Falun Dafa Practitioners Rally in Times Square Prior to Experience Sharing Conference, April 19, 2003 (Photos)


(Clearwisdom.net)


Several hundred Falun Gong practitioners gathered at one of the busiest corners in Times Square, New York City, for a rally that included music, dramatic readings, and appeals from family members of practitioners persecuted in China.

The practitioners demonstrated the Falun Gong exercises for the crowds of tourists in busy Times Square.
Practitioners sang songs composed to expose the crimes of the Chinese leaders and call for an end to the persecution in China. The music could be heard for several blocks, and crowds stopped to listen, watch, and learn more.

The band consisted of two singers and guitar players, a bass player, and a drummer. Even the police were dancing along and tapping their fingers.


Several family members of practitioners persecuted in China told their stories and made appeals for their release.


A little practitioner clarifies the truth to a New York City police officer about his father who is detained in China. Practitioners sent forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil.



Several thousand flyers and newspapers were distributed to the crowds in Times Square, and many also offered their support by signing petitions asking for the release of American citizen Dr. Charles Li.

At the same time as the rally, another group of practitioners gathered in New York City's Chinatown to clarify the truth about the persecution in China, and to demonstrate the Falun Dafa exercises.

In the evening, over 1000 practitioners gathered for the 2003 New York Experience Sharing Conference.
