There were 16 speakers at the rally. They recalled the April 25 appeal, and pointed out that what Falun Gong practitioners have tried to protect is the moral standard for human society, and this is what the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has tried to destroy. Mr. Li Tianxiao, a columnist in New York, expressed that the persecution of Falun Gong has awakened many Chinese people who have quit the CCP. “The persecution will lead to the destruction of the party,” he said.

Mr. Zhang Erping, a spokesman for Falun Gong, reviewed the process of the April 25 Appeal and the brutal history of the persecution. Mr. Zhang said, “China is experiencing big changes. The Chinese society is in a transitional phase. Every Chinese has a chance to choose his or her future.” He called upon Chinese people not to assist the CCP in persecuting Falun Gong.
