practitioners from all over the world gathered in Washington DC to hold a series of activities. On
July 22, practitioners rallied on the U.S. Capitol Hill to call on people from all walks of life to
support justice. A number of U.S. Senators and Representatives came to express their support. More
than 30 NGOs asked Falun Gong practitioners to display signs imprinted with their names as a way to
show their support and express their admiration for Falun Gong practitioners' courage and their
strong condemnation of the persecution. On the evening of July 21, Falun Gong practitioners also held a candlelight vigil to commemorate
practitioners who were persecuted to death in China. Congresswoman Ms. Lynn Woolsey Mr. Michael Horowitz, senior researcher of international religious
