Account from an Eyewitness of the April the 25th Peaceful Appeal
2004-04-26On April the 25th 1999, about 10,000 Falun Gong practitioners appealed peacefully in Beijing. From beginning to end, everything was in order and there was no one making loud noises, raising banners, or shouting slogans.

Later, Jiang Zemin used this incident as an excuse to initiate and carry out the brutal persecution against Falun Gong for more than four years. -
An Overview of Events at the UNHRC
2004-04-20"The Chinese government uses both economic enticement and diplomatic artifice to cause obstruction. As a consequence, proposals in the UN condemning China’s human rights have been pushed aside by the “No Action Motion” in previous years.

There are many historical lessons to bear in mind." -

2004-03-20"These people are all genuine, they come from all around the world, because from their hearts they really want the leaders of the world to look at and position themselves in the right way regarding this persecution.
