(Clearwisdom.net) At 1:30 p.m. on August 10, 2008, Falun Gong practitioners held a march in Makuhari, Chiba to display the beauty and goodness of Falun Dafa and call on the Japanese people to help end the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong.

The procession started from Makuhari park with the Divine Land Marching Band in front, followed by Minghui School students and practitioners holding banners that read, "Disintegrate the CCP and stop the persecution", "Falun Dafa spreads worldwide", "Falun Dafa is good", and "Truth-Compassion-Tolerance" in both Chinese and Japanese.

There are many high rise buildings and business facilities in Makuhari, a modern city. The Makuhari International Exhibition Center is located here, and international conferences and exhibitions are often held here. This was the first time Falun Gong practitioners marched in Chiba.

The procession passed by the downtown area and lasted about one hour. The band music attracted many passers-by to stop and watch. Some spectators began reading the truth-clarification flyer as soon as they received it. Many were shocked upon seeing the photos exposing the CCP's torture of practitioners.
