Australian Falun Dafa Practitioners Peacefully Appeal in Front of Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Canberra on the Day of Sino-Australia Dialogue (Photos)

(Clearwisdom.net) On August 14, 2002, China and Australia held a Human Rights dialogue. At 8:00 a.m. Dafa practitioners from Sydney and other parts of the country gathered in front of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Canberra, holding large banners imprinted with words in both Chinese and English, "Falun Dafa," "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance," and "Stop persecuting Falun Gong." Until 4:00 p.m., Dafa practitioners did the Falun Gong exercises and sent forth righteous thoughts once every half hour. The sky of Canberra was clear and clean; warm sunshine made Canberra's winter like a spring. Our peaceful and righteous field attracted many passers-by to stop and watch. The driver of a mail van that was just coming out of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building waved to us and pressed his hands in Heshi position to us. He than slowly drove the van by our exercise site. Australian Associated Press reporters came to videotape and cover our event.
