KAOHSIUNG, Taiwan—Citizens, community groups, officials, and Falun Gong practitioners gathered in a rally here on Sept. 12 celebrating the more than 80 million Chinese who have renounced their association with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

Several hundred Falun Gong practitioners with banners, flags, and drums led a parade through the city’s crowded upscale Shinkuchan shopping area, while Taiwanese college students in the Youth Association for International Human Rights Development joined in.

“We come from many colleges and universities. We think human rights education in schools is weak. Through student participation in different fields, we wish to increase human rights awareness in Taiwan,” said Jiang Wan-yun, head of the Association.
