Federal Plaza is situated across from the railway station in downtown, one of the most vibrant areas in Melbourne. Practitioners set up a "Court of Justice" to hold a mock trial against Jiang. Four people testified at the court. One was a Falun Gong practitioner who had been persecuted in China. Another was a CCTV reporter who had to resign because he did not want to be forced to make fake news; the third witness was "Liu Chunling", who died in the staged self-immolation on Tiananmen Square. She asked Jiang why he lied and had her killed, and why her 12-year-old daughter suddenly died when she was ready to leave the hospital. "Liu Chunling" said that she was very regretful, that if she only had genuinely practiced Falun Gong, things would not have ended like this. The fourth witness was an Australian practitioner who had traveled to Tiananmen Square in 2001 to appeal for Falun Gong but was arrested and beaten. She asked Jiang why he was extending the persecution to overseas.
Many people passing by showed great interest in watching the trial, and they accepted Dafa truth-clarifying materials and signed their names on the petition to bring Jiang to justice. Many tourists took pictures or videotaped the scene.
On the evening of July 20, Melbourne practitioners also held a candlelight vigil in front of the Chinese Consulate to commemorate those fellow practitioners who have been tortured to death in China in conjunction with the commemoration activities in Washington D.C.
