SAN FRANCISCO—This past weekend, practitioners of Falun Gong, along with local supporters from the community, held events around the city to commemorate a large-scale protest held in China on April 25, 1999. The historic event was notable because of the sheer number of people who quietly gathered in Beijing to appeal for their right to practice their faith.
“The practitioners all hope to hold different types of peaceful events, like appealing in front of the Chinese Consulate or holding banners in the downtown area, or holding a parade to raise awareness,” said organizer Kerry Huang.
