(Clearwisdom.net) On July 18, 2007, Falun Gong practitioners from the Greater Chicago area gathered in front of Chinese Consulate in Chicago to protest the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) eight-year-long persecution of Falun Gong and to commemorate the more than three thousand practitioners verified to have been tortured to death by the CCP. In heavy rain and wind, the practitioners read out the names of the fellow practitioners tortured to death, warned the CCP, and let the world's people know that practitioners will persevere in their belief! Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance will prevail.
