(Clearwisdom.net) World Journal reported on July 21 that Los Angeles Falun Gong practitioners held a candlelight vigil in front of the Chinese Consulate in Los Angeles on the evening of July 20 to commemorate those Falun Gong practitioners who have died from the Chinese authorities' suppression over the past five years.
Falun Gong practitioners in Los Angeles and practitioners throughout the world simultaneously held large-scale outdoor activities including group exercise practice, candlelight vigil and anti-torture exhibition to raise public awareness of the ongoing persecution in China.
About 3,000 Falun Gong practitioners from across the United States will gather in Washington DC and form a "Great Wall of Courage" on July 23. They will line up along the downtown pavement from the World War II Monument to the Chinese Embassy to form a 2-mile-long great wall to express their condemnation towards the Chinese authorities' persecution and to display their uncompromising courage and willpower.
