LOS ANGELES—About 180 practitioners of the spiritual discipline Falun Gong gathered in front of the Chinese Consulate in Los Angeles on May 3 to call for an end to a slanderous media campaign in Hong Kong.
The protesters quietly rallied for more than an hour, bearing signs that read “truthfulness, compassion, tolerance”—the main tenets of the practice, also known as Falun Dafa—while about 20 cars with Falun Gong decorations circled the rally.
