(Clearwisdom.net) On July 20, 2006, Italian Falun Gong practitioners conducted activities in many parts of Italy to commemorate 2920 fellow practitioners in China who were persecuted to death by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). They also protested CCP's brutal persecution of Faun Gong launched on July 20, 1999 by Jiang's regime and the CCP.

Italian practitioners held activities to protest the persecution in front of the Chinese consulates in Milan and Florence, and the Chinese embassy in Rome. Many of the practitioners came from different parts to participate in the activities. Some of them even traveled for hundreds of kilometers. Practitioners distributed the leaflets in Chinese at various corners to expose the CCP's crimes of harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners. Practitioners also informed overseas Chinese of the fact that a Milan Criminal Court had ruled against Jiang Ming, the director and reporter of the Chinese newspaper "European Chinese Paper."
After the protest outside the Chinese consulate in Florence ended at noon, the practitioners proceeded to take part in activities in Piazza Republica in the center of Florence. At noon the temperature rose to 40 degrees. With the strong sunshine, the practitioners were still calling on people to help end the seven-year persecution against Falun Gong practitioners in China and terminate the CCP's tyranny.
