Faluninfo.net - Ten years ago next week, on July 20, 1999, former Chinese Communist
Party-head Jiang Zemin launched a violent campaign to "eradicate" the
Falun Gong spiritual discipline, practiced at the time by tens of
millions of ordinary Chinese citizens. Since then, the Party has used
coercion, imprisonment, torture, and systematic villification in an
effort to force anyone known to practice Falun Gong to recant the basic
tenets of his or her peaceful faith.
As the anniversary of that
fateful day approaches, Falun Gong practitioners outside China prepare
to mark the tenth year of persecution with a series of marches,
candlelight vigils, and rallies.
At Chinese consulates
throughout the world, tens of thousands of Falun Gong practitioners and
supporters will hold candlelight vigils or demonstrations on or around
July 20th. From Brisbane to London, weekend marches and rallies will
call for an end to ongoing repression in China and remember those who
have lost their lives amidst persecution.

NTDTV - This is the story of Falun Gong, told in four parts: The peaceful
appeal of April 25th, 1999, when practitioners asked for fair treatment
by the government and state-run media. The celebration and reflection
of May 13th, International Falun Dafa Day. The creation of the
anti-Falun Gong secret police, or "610 Office", on June 10th, 1999. And
then July 20th, the beginning of the Communist ban of the practice, and
the beginning of Falun Gong's decade of courage.
