Over 5,000 Expected in Washington DC to Rally for Falun Gong

Four years ago in China on July 20, men and women throughout the country who volunteered their time to setup Falun Gong practice sites in public parks were taken from their homes in the middle of the night.

(Clearwisdom.net) Dafa practitioner Ms. Xiao Yafang, 29, from Qidong County, Hunan Province, was illegally detained by the police for more than two years because she went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong. All kinds of torture in prison caused this healthy young woman to become emaciated and handicapped. In late June, Xiao Yafang was on the verge of death. The police was afraid to be held accountable for her condition and released her. They attempted to force her to give them 10,000 Yuan, and eventually extorted 2000 Yuan from her family. More information is being sought through an investigation.

The press conference will take place at 12 pm opposite the Chinese Embassy in Portland Place, W1. An informal walk to Chinatown will follow the press conference.
