Note

(1) Falun Gong is currently under severe persecution in China, and Falun Gong practitioners are routinely arrested and brutally tortured by the authorities in an effort to force them to renounce their belief. In order to raise awareness of the persecution, practitioners outside of China stage peaceful protests, often in conjunction with live torture reenactments, to demonstrate the extent and brutality of the persecution.
