(Clearwisdom.net) On May 2, 2004, Chinese Premier Minister Wen Jiabao arrived in Germany for a state visit. Falun Gong practitioners once again displayed banners to welcome Wen Jiabao after Wen's state visit to the United States last December. In the meantime, practitioners asked to bring the perpetrators in the persecution of Falun Gong including Jiang Zemin, Luo Gan, Liu Jing and Zhou Yongkang to justice.

According to Radio Free Asia's report on May 3, Falun Gong practitioners and German human rights organizations simultaneously held rallies and appeals at different places in downtown Berlin on May 3.

The report quoted one of the organizers of these activities, Ms Zheng Zhihong, a scholar in the field of Chinese law, "Our activities will last two days. Today, because Premier Wen Jiabao will meet with German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder, we are now at the plaza close to the Chancellery in Berlin. Today's activity will start from 2 pm and end at 9:30 pm."

Ms. Zheng continued, "Tomorrow we will hold a day long appeal near the Adilon Hotel where Wen Jiabao stays. The appeal will begin at 8 am and will last until 10 pm. In the evening we will hold a candlelight vigil. We will also go to the Chinese Embassy to appeal."
