(Clearwisdom.net) On December 8, practitioners in Irkutsk held a protest outside the local Chinese Consulate to raise public awareness and call for an end to the persecution of Falun Gong.

The practitioners demonstrated the Falun Gong exercises, distributed truth-clarifying materials and talked to passersby. Some practitioners who could not come supported the event by sending righteous thoughts.

Although it was very cold, there were still many Chinese and Russian people coming to the consulate for visas. They stopped to look at the practitioners’ poster display and group practice, and picked up Falun Gong truth-clarifying materials.
