Members of the Falun Gong spiritual movement took a stand against torture in front of the Human Rights Monument Thursday on Elgin Street.

Falun Gong members say some followers are routinely tortured in China.

They carried out a live depiction of torture and violence to highlight their concerns. As part of the display, people were smeared with fake blood and held in small cages.

The display is in the lead up to the "United Nations International Day In Support Of Victims Of Torture" on Saturday.
