Houston Dafa Practitioners Continue Hunger Strike in Front of Chinese Consulate to Call for Bringing Jiang to Justice (Photos)


(Clearwisdom.net June 7, 2003) On June 5, 2003, to support bringing Jiang to justice, to support Charles Li and Dafa practitioners being persecuted in China, and to expose the brutal persecution of Falun Gong in China, Houston Dafa practitioners continued sitting-in and sending forth righteous thoughts in front of the Chinese Consulate, and Dafa practitioner Qiaoyu continued to hunger strike for the second day.


Every day several banners were prominently displayed in front of the Chinese Consulate. People came to ask for more information and request truth-clarifying literature one after another, including those who came to the consulate for business. They could clearly see the banners, "Sue Jiang for Genocide," "Release Charles Li Immediately," and "China, Stop Persecuting Falun Gong." In contrast, the Chinese Consulate is frightened at the peaceful appeal of Dafa practitioners. At noon, a staff member walked out of the consulate, unreasonably demanded the Dafa practitioners to move to the other side of the street and were refused. He then called police. Police officers refused consulate's request as they were familiar with the peaceful nature of the practitioners.

During this time, a thunderstorm came to the area. The Dafa practitioners continued sending forth righteous thoughts in front of the consulate. Several media such as ABC TV station and Houston 40.1 radio station came to cover the event. They were touched after learning the reason of the hunger strike. They were informed of the crimes of Jiang in persecuting Falun Gong, including practitioners in the United States and worldwide.
