(Clearwisdom.net) From February 16 to 18, Falun Gong practitioners from Moscow and nearby areas, as well as staff members of the Epoch Times newspaper, held a hunger strike in front of the Chinese Embassy to strongly protest the recent violent assault of practitioner Yuan Li of Atlanta and the 6-year brutal persecution of Falun Gong in general.

While there was not enough time to obtain a timely permission for a group rally, according to Russian law, individual protests require no permission. Practitioners then took turns conducting a hunger strike in front of the Embassy during the 3-day protest. Though it was extremely cold, near -20oC, practitioners braved the freezing snow and wind to clarify the truth to passersby.
Regarding the terrorist activities of the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP's) overseas secret agents, Russian practitioners believe that those are just the regime's desperate struggle before its final destruction. Every attempt of the regime to suppress Falun Gong only ends up promoting Falun Gong.
Besides protesting in front of the Embassy, practitioners also sent related truth-clarifying materials to the media, and government and human rights groups. In addition, they formed several groups to distribute the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, Falun Gong truth-clarifying materials and other related materials to Chinese people and local citizens at major markets and in the bustling downtown area. The violence of the Chinese Communist Party's secret agents once again testified to the evil nature of the party.
