On December 13, Falun Gong practitioners gathered in front of the Chinese Embassy to call for an end to the persecution, and at the same time requested the embassy to deliver a letter to Wen Jiabao calling for him to take steps to stop the persecution. The Chinese Embassy refused to take the letter.
Falun Gong practitioners also protested in front of the conference site for the East Asia Summit. At the noon break, people going out for lunch took flyers from the practitioners in order to learn about the situation in China. Vehicles passing by slowed down to view the practitioners' photo boards. Some delegates from foreign countries attending the summit showed their support to practitioners by giving them the thumbs-up sign. Some delegates also inquired about the persecution in China. An Indonesian man shook hands with a practitioner to express his support.
In the short period of 20 minutes, Falun Gong practitioners were in close proximity to Wen Jiabao's car and a bus carrying Chinese delegates who saw the Falun Gong photo boards.
