Toronto Falun Gong practitioners gathered outside the Chinese Consulate on April 25 to commemorate the anniversary of a historic peaceful appeal by adherents in Beijing 24 years ago.
On April 25, 1999, more than 10,000 Falun Gong practitioners gathered outside the Chinese regime’s headquarters in the heart of Beijing to appeal for fellow adherents who had been wrongfully arrested in the city of Tianjin, and for practitioners all over the country who were being harassed and investigated by the police. They also wanted a ban imposed on Falun Gong books to be lifted.
