Canada: "Rescue Our Family Members Bicycle Tour" Traverses Four More Cities (Photos)

By Dafa practitioners in Toronto, Canada

(Clearwisdom.net September 24^th) Toronto "Bicycle Tour for Rescuing Our Family Members and Bringing Jiang to Justice" traversed five medium-sized cities in two days on September 20-21, 2003. As it was a weekend, four more Toronto practitioners joined the bicycle tour, so the total number of participants was increased to nine.

Whenever the bicycle tour reached a city, the practitioners would visit the mayor and city councilors, and hold a press conference. In front of the city hall of Belleville, the practitioners were interviewed by local media. They told the reporter of the brutal persecution of their family members and countless Falun Gong practitioners in China, and informed him of the latest news about the global lawsuits against Jiang. They also demonstrated the five sets of Falun Dafa exercises to the local people. A local resident is a teacher who had heard about Falun Gong before. He told the practitioners that there are many Chinese students in his class. When he asked them about what is happening in China, those Chinese students avoided answering his question. After he heard the introduction of Falun Gong from the practitioners, he was very glad to accept the materials from the practitioners.

In the city of Nepean, when the practitioners practiced the exercises in front of the city hall, a group of teenage boys quietly watched them in appreciation. At that time, when a man walked over to make trouble, the boys immediately surrounded the practitioners to show their support. One of them said, "I've seen your display boards; a 64-year-old man was imprisoned for practicing Falun Gong. It makes me angry."

The husband of one participant of the bicycle tour came from Toronto to bring his wife delicious food and shared it with everyone. Another participant's husband also came to offer support, and told the practitioners that saving people is more important than one's individual's matters.
