Latvian Media Reports on Falun Gong Practitioners' Appeal Outside the Chinese Embassy in Riga


(Clearwisdom.net) Recently, more than twenty more Falun Gong practitioners were persecuted to death by the Jiang Zemin regime within one month, bringing the total number of verified deaths to 896. On Saturday, February 21, practitioners from Riga, the capital of Latvia, gathered near the Chinese Embassy to expose the illegal actions of the Jiang regime and call for the culprits to be brought to justice.

BNS reported on February 21 that Falun Gong practitioners gathered near the Chinese Embassy in Riga on Saturday to condemn the former Chinese leader Jiang Zemin and other officials for their persecution of Falun Gong and to call for these people to be held responsible for the persecution.

In the past two weeks, fifteen practitioners have been brutally tortured to death in China. At the appeal in Riga, BNS reporters saw some practitioners meditating while others held banners demanding that those guilty be brought to justice and punished by law. The appeal activity lasted for three hours. The report further introduced Falun Gong as a practice originating in China, emphasizing that many people who practice Falun Gong are being persecuted there.
