"Dozens of people who practice Falun Gong staged a protest outside the Chinese Consulate building in San Francisco today. The protest coincided with those all across the nation: demonstrators are angry about escalating violence against Falun Gong believers in China. Falun Gong was outlawed there back in 1999 after the number of followers grew to more then 70 million. Falun Gong is not a religion, but a faith that focuses on self-improvement through meditation".

(Footage of practitioners with banners and doing the exercises in front of the consulate were shown - dozens of practitioners could be seen.)
