Taiwan: Photo Report: Practitioners Hold "July 20" Anti-Persecution Activities (Photos)

(Clearwisdom.net) On the afternoon of July 17, 2004, several thousand Falun Gong practitioners gathered on the Chanyang Avenue in front of the Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall and held "July 20" anti-persecution activities to call upon people from all walks of life to pay attention to the 5-five-year ruthless persecution suffered by Falun Gong practitioners in China.

• Falun Dafa exercise demonstration

From 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., wearing yellow T-shirts and light-colored pants, Falun Gong practitioners formed Chinese characters: Fa rectifies heaven and earth. They also demonstrated the exercises. The scene was magnificent and peaceful.

• Expose the persecution facts through exhibitions of posters, photos and live torture re-enactments

In order to raise public awareness about how the Chinese police, labor camps, fascist brainwashing centers and jails torture Falun Gong practitioners, poster and photo exhibitions were held together with a live reenactment of some torture methods used against practitioners.

Tightly tied

Pressing

Hanging up

Slave labor

Burning with heated irons

Injecting unknown drugs

The methods of torture exhibited were appalling. Some spectators frequently wiped their tears.

A westerner said that the China's human rights situation has been constantly deteriorating in recent years. Especially since the Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989, one can hardly hear anything from the government about human rights. They must have blocked the information.

A Japanese girl said that China should release the ban on Falun Gong. She believed that it is very important to allow people to have the rights and freedom to express and exercise their belief.

After watching the anti-torture exhibition, an elderly couple expressed: The persecution of Falun Gong is so inhumane! So brutal!

• Exhibition of petition cloths full of signatures

On both sides of Chanyang Avenue, the long lines of petition cloths were extremely eye-catching. The cloths were full of petition signatures which expressed countless Taiwanese people's condemnation against the shooting incident in South Africa, which Jiang's group is suspected to behind the attempted assassination.

• Candlelight vigil to commemorate fellow practitioners who have died from the persecution

Since Jiang initiated the brutal persecution on July 20, 1999, at least 1,006 Falun Gong practitioners are verified to have died from the persecution.

On this special day, Taiwan Falun Gong practitioners held a candlelight vigil to commemorate these fellow practitioners who sacrificed their lives to uphold the truth. In addition, practitioners hoped to awaken people's sense of justice and conscience and call upon people to work together to stop this persecution.
