(Minghui.org) Falun Gong practitioners in Japan participated in the Festival of Iijima-Machi in Nagono Prefecture, Japan on October 24-25, 2015. They introduced the benefits of Falun Gong, exposed the persecution of the practice in China, and collected signatures in support of lawsuits against Jiang Zemin, former head of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), who launched the persecution.
