On January 5, 2002, the French International Radio Station reported that the French Falun Dafa Research Association posed a warning to the Chinese Embassy in France regarding exhibitions denouncing Falun Gong which have been held in various European countries. The Falun Dafa Association indicated that the Embassy's activities constituted harm and slander to the many Falun Dafa Research Associations, which are legally registered in France, and their members. Therefore, the Falun Dafa Association will appeal to the corresponding judicial departments.

According to the Central News Agency January 4^th report, Falun Gong practitioners did group practice in sub-freezing temperatures today in front of the Chinese Consulate in France. The group practice was to protest an exhibit slandering Falun Gong held by the consulate and the harm it caused the Dafa Associations and its members. The practitioners will sue the Chinese Consulate regarding this crime in a court in Paris.

International airports are important places where practitioners disclose the brutal persecution of Falun Gong by Jiang Zemin and his associates and clarify the truth. Many Chinese people's misunderstanding toward Dafa were eliminated, and they made the correct choice for their future.

Today, 177 people published statements, solemnly declaring that everything they did under the evil's brutal torture, brainwashing and strong coercion, that did not conform to Dafa is null and void. They will cultivate resolutely, cherish their time, redouble their efforts to make up for the loss they brought to Dafa, and catch up with the Teacher's Fa-rectification process.

During the New Year holidays, some practitioners in Honolulu, Hawaii held a tent show of pictures and articles. It attracted many people, and some luckier ones began to study Fa and learn the practice. A young western lady indicated that she would strongly support Dafa.
