(Clearwisdom.net) On March 10, 2006, Falun Gong practitioners in Calgary, Canada staged a hunger strike in front of the Chinese Consulate to protest the CCP's atrocities in killing Falun Gong practitioners at Sujiatun Concentration Camp in Shenyang City. The practitioners also held a candlelight vigil to mourn Falun Gong practitioners who have died as a result of the persecution. They called upon the Canadian government and people to pay close attention to and help stop the genocide happening in China.
Drivers in vehicles passing by honked the horns to show their support or slowed down to learn about what is happening in China. Passersby also stopped to watch what was happening. Some high school students on their way home passed by our activity site and learned about the tragedy happening in China. Some of them asked earnestly if they could donate some money to help. Another young man stopped to ask what he could do for the Falun Gong practitioners.
The practitioners expressed that they do not collect donations, but only hope that people can help spread the truth to many more people who have been deceived by the CCP's lies, or write to members of parliament to ask for their help to stop the brutal persecution as soon as possible.
A woman from Tibet lingered around the banners for quite some time, and finally she told the Falun Gong practitioners, "You've done quite well, and we Tibetans admire you. You're the only overseas Chinese group that dares to say no to the CCP, and you have been keeping it up for so long. You will definitely succeed!"
Since the CCP started the persecution of Falun Gong on July 20, 1999, Falun Gong practitioners have been peacefully clarifying the truth for nearly seven years, and more and more people have learned about the evil nature of the CCP and expressed their support for Falun Gong.
