On September 13, 2003, the "Car Tour Around the US to Rescue Charles Li" arrived in Charlottesville, Virginia and held a press conference in front of the City Hall. Local NBC29 TV station interviewed practitioners and aired it at 6:00 pm program that evening.
Prior to this, Charlottesville Mayor had issued a proclamation to Falun Dafa on September 12 and strongly condemned Jiang regime's persecution of Falun Dafa. He also called upon China to immediately stop the persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners and dismiss the notorious "610 Office."*
** The "610 Office" is a bureau specifically created by the Chinese government to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power over each level of administration in the Party, as well all other political and judiciary systems.
