(Clearwisdom.net) At noon on February 21, 2004, Kansas practitioners arrived at one of the famous tourist spots in Kansas "Plaza Fountain Park" to collect signatures to rescue Falun Gong practitioner Charles Li.

American citizen Dr. Charles Li has been illegally detained by Jiang's group for one year and one month. Charles Li was arrested at Guangzhou City's Baiyun Airport on January 22, 2003, and was unlawfully detained with the charge of intending to sabotage the cable TV broadcasting system. He has suffered abuse, mistreatment and force-feeding in the custody of Chinese police. Like hundreds of thousands of Falun Gong practitioners in Mainland China, Charles Li was jailed for his belief in Falun Gong and it's teachings centered on "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance." His plight moved many kind-hearted people. Many passersby took signature collection cards and truth-clarifying flyers, and wished Charles Li to return soon. Many people passing by expressed their hope that the chief perpetrator of the persecution of Falun Gong can be put on trial soon.

We are very pleased for these kind-hearted people, because they chose a beautiful future for themselves. Kansas City Star newspaper covered the event.
