At the press conference a Ph.D. candidate from the University of Cincinnati told the story of his brother Mr. Wang Weiyu, an outstanding Ph.D. candidate from Qinghua University who was forced to quit school because he practised Falun Gong. Chinese police arrested Mr. Wang last August. His whereabouts are still unknown. He called upon people to work together to put an end to the persecution of Falun Gong, and expressed hopes that his brother could be reunited with his family soon. This student is not a Falun Gong practitioner but stepped forward for the sake of his brother.
Congressman Steve Chabot, who had been very supportive to Falun Gong, sent a letter to the press conference to express his support. He said in his letter, "I wanted to send along an expression of my support for your efforts to stop the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners by the communist dictatorship of the People's Republic of China. I especially commend you for your hard work on behalf of freedom and your efforts to gain the release of Dr. Charles Li, an American citizen currently being detained in China."
A reporter from Cincinnati's newspaper City Beat attended the press conference and took detailed notes. After the press conference he interviewed the practitioners. On the following day he called the practitioners and did an interview for over an hour. He also expressed that he would do more interviews with family members of Falun Gong practitioners being persecuted in China.
