(Clearwisdom.net) On the night of December 30, 2008, practitioners in the Kansai region gathered in front of the Chinese Consulate in Osaka, Japan and staged a peaceful protest, objecting to the Chinese Commuist Party's persecution of Falun Gong.

It was deep winter, but the practitioners kept practicing the Falun Gong exercises and sending forth righteous thoughts in front of the Consulate. Although it was nighttime, there were still passers-by stopping to read the truth-clarification display boards put up by the practitioners.

The persecution of Falun Gong has been going on for nine years, during which time Falun Gong practitioners have been unwaveringly clarifying the truth to people in the world. As long as the persecution lasts, the protest of the persecution will persist.
