Photo Report: Practitioners from Around the World Gather in New York to Commemorate the 6th Anniversary of the "4.25" Peaceful Appeal

(Clearwisdom.net) On April 25, 1999, more than 10,000 Chinese practitioners peacefully gathered outside the Chinese Central Government compound to appeal for a legal and harmonious cultivation environment, and the release of fellow practitioners who were illegally arrested in a nearby city.

The practitioners wanted to help more people know about the greatness of Falun Dafa and the ongoing brutal persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China, and to call on all circles to help end this persecution that has lasted for nearly 6 years. On April 25, 2005, several thousand practitioners from all over the world came to the streets of Manhattan to mark the 6^th anniversary of this historic appeal by holding anti-torture exhibitions and photo displays and distributing fliers. At dusk, practitioners rallied in front of the Chinese Consulate in New York to call on the Chinese regime to end the persecution immediately. After the rally, practitioners held a candlelight vigil to commemorate this special date and those who have been murdered in China during the persecution.
