Marking Five Years of Resisting the Persecution, Dafa Practitioners Hold Anti-Torture Exhibit and Candlelight Vigil in Sydney (Photos)

(Clearwisdom.net) On July 22, 1999, Jiang's group launched an evil suppression of Falun Gong practitioners who believe in "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance" in China. The same day, hundreds of thousands of Falun Dafa practitioners began their great and peaceful journey of clarifying the truth and exposing the Jiang group's lies with their great compassion and tolerance. As of today, five years have passed. Falun Dafa practitioners have not been beaten down during the brutal persecution; they have faced the most debased and vicious and inhuman suppression in human's history using their steadfast will and strong belief. They have spread Falun Dafa's beauty and the principle of "Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance" to the world. Their kind deeds and spirit have touched people, and kind people also sent out their voices of concern. Jiang has been served lawsuits on charges of genocide, torture and crimes against humanity. Jiang's group is at its desperate end, and what awaits them will be the most severe trial and punishment.

On July 20, in order to further expose to the Australian people about the Jiang group's state terrorism, and call for an end to the killing of Falun Gong practitioners, Falun Gong practitioners in Sydney once again held an anti-torture exhibit and photo exhibit in Hyde Park at the center of the city. Practitioners peacefully practiced the exercises on the lawn, and also clarified the truth and collected signatures from passersby, condemning the Jiang group's hiring gunmen to attempt to kill Falun Gong practitioners in South Africa. Many people stopped and watched, attracted by practitioners' peaceful exercise scene and they were also shocked at the brutality the reenacted torture methods displayed. People signed their names and took truth clarification materials on their own initiative, and expressed to practitioners their deep sympathy over the persecuted Falun Gong practitioners and anger and disgust with the Jiang group's atrocities.

During the evening, Falun Gong practitioners in Sydney held a candlelight vigil outside the Chinese Consulate to commemorate more than 1,000 Falun Dafa practitioners who have died as a result of the persecution. Sitting in meditation in the frigid winter wind, practitioners peacefully displayed Dafa's peacefulness and grace. The candlelight expressed practitioners' grief for those practitioners who have died. The persecution will not last long, the righteous will definitely triumph over the evil.
