(Minghui.org) Several hundred Falun Gong practitioners gathered on the well-known Legian Kuta Beach in Bali, Indonesia on July 20, 2014, to hold a public rally, march, and candlelight vigil, and condemn the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) 15-year-long persecution. They called on all kindhearted people to help stop the persecution. Local media and TV station covered the event.
Crowds of people were on the beach, but the practitioners, with their yellow shirts and white trousers, lined up to practice the Falun Gong exercises along with music.
A display with portraits of fellow practitioners who died due to the persecution in China was set up on the beach, along with banners condemning the persecution. The serene atmosphere drew the attention of tourists, many of whom talked with the practitioners and learned more about the persecution.
