In the past 100 days, practitioners distributed over ten thousand pieces of Chinese and English Dafa literature in front of the Embassy and were interviewed by the press over fifty times

4. Hunger strike to support practitioners in China
From August 22 to September 7, nine practitioners participated in the hunger strike in front of the Embassy to support 130 practitioners who were on hunger strike in the Mashanjia Labor Camp in China
- Righteous thoughts are powerful
On October 1, 2001, practitioners held a candlelight vigil in front of the Chinese Embassy to call for abolishment of the 610 Office and bring Luo Gan to Justice. Falun appeared while we sent forth righteous thoughts.
6. "Never in the history has someone who persecuted those with upright faiths ever succeeded."
The evil force fears the revealing of the truth. Practitioners' tape recorder and banners were stolen several times at night. Some banners were torn on the spot. The evil force attempted to stop our silent sitting, but it was unavailing. The Chinese Embassy sent people taking photos and making threatening conversations. Nothing can waver practitioners' belief in Falun Dafa.
On the night of September 29, practitioners' banners were torn and the sitting site was damaged
- "If the persecution doesn't stop, we will not leave."
- Truth will defeat the evil
From October 14, 2001 on, we will change 24-hour sitting to daylight sitting. We will face the cold winter test. Practitioners' belief is as solid as a rock: "If the persecution doesn't stop, we will not leave."
