San Francisco, California: Candlelight Vigil to Awaken Conscience and Call for an End to the Persecution (Photos)

By Ying Wang

(Clearwisdom.net) On Friday October 20, Falun Gong practitioners from across the world held a candlelight vigil in front of the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) General Consulate in San Francisco, to commemorate those practitioners tortured to death by the CCP and call on people to help stop the CCP's seven-year-long persecution. Falun Gong practitioners hope that Chinese people will come to know the grace of Dafa and renounce the CCP.

Urgent call to stop the CCP atrocities

A call to stop the CCP persecution immediately

Ms. Lijuan Zheng, an organizer of the event, said, "We hope more people will come to know the grace of Dafa, learn the facts, and rescue those practitioners being persecuted in China."

Ms. Zheng continued, "We live in a democratic country. If we do not speak out for our fellow practitioners, more practitioners would lose their precious life under the brutal persecution. So far it is documented that three thousands practitioners were tortured to death. The actual number could be much higher."

She emphasized, "Since the exposure of the CCP atrocities of organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners, people have come to know about the CCP's extreme brutality in the persecution. But some people are still indifferent. I hope that everyone can read the independent investigation report by the Canadian team and make his own judgment. The website is http://organharvestinvestigation.net/"

Ms. Huang from Taiwan said, "We attend the candlelight vigil to commemorate those practitioners tortured to death by the CCP, to call on people's conscience and help stop the persecution."

Ms. Tang from Houston said, "We've come to the Chinese Consulate to tell the CCP to stop the persecution. Practitioners hold banners with words demanding that the CCP stop their atrocities. Many passersby can see our event. We hope for more people to know about the persecution, especially the atrocities of organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners. We hope that everyone across the world will know about the issue and help stop this unprecedented evil in human history."

The practitioners said that they would spread the facts through various means, help Chinese people learn the truth and call on the international community to pay attention to and stop the persecution.
