On the evening of July 19, nearly 300 Falun Gong practitioners in Los Angeles held a candlelight vigil in front of the Chinese Consulate, as part of a series of candlelight vigils held around the world to condemn the persecution of the faith group in China.

Starting on July 20, 1999, the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution of Falun Gong—also known as Falun Dafa—has lasted for 26 years.
