HONG KONG—Mr. Chen, a tourist from Zhejiang Province, couldn’t tear his eyes away.
It was a shocking revelation for him seeing 600 Falun Gong practitioners marching through the streets of Hong Kong. They were calling for an end to the Chinese Communist Party and for former party leader Jiang Zemin to be brought to Justice.
“There’s no such parade in the mainland,” he said.
Mr. Chen could hardly believe that people would publicly file lawsuits against Jiang and list his crimes. It took courage to do so, he said, as he watched the parade move through the street that day.
That was Oct. 1, the day the Chinese Communist Party marks the revolution that brought it to power 66 years ago. It was also the day that hundreds of Falun Gong practitioners gathered to hold a rally in Hong Kong, eventually taking to the streets in a parade.
Many well-known figures from Hong Kong and mainland China gave speeches to support the practitioners’ demands for justice and freedom.
Hong Kong Falun Dafa Association spokesperson Kan Hung-cheung said in his speech that since May this year, Falun Gong practitioners and their families have filed more than 180,000 lawsuits against former CCP leader Jiang Zemin. Jiang was responsible for launching the violent persecution against Falun Gong, a traditional Chinese spiritual discipline based on truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance.
