Practitioners renewed their calls for ending the 17-year-long persecution, in particular the forced organ harvesting from living Falun Gong practitioners in China.

Falun Gong practitioners in Adelaide, South Australia, held activities on Mantra Hindmarsh Square on April 23, 2016, exposing the Chinese Communist Party's crimes of harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners, and collecting signatures in support of lawsuits against Jiang Zemin. Many people signed a petition supporting the lawsuits. Some learned the Falun Gong exercises on the spot.
