Ireland: Press Conference and Peaceful Appeal Outside Dublin's Chinese Embassy

On 29th of October, a press conference and peaceful vigil was held outside the Chinese embassy in Dublin to highlight the fact that more than 100 Falun Gong practitioners are being illegally held in Jilin Prison. Recently many of the Falun Gong practitioners detained there have staged a hunger strike, the only method available to them to protest against the severe torture they receive from the prison guards. Irish practitioners highlighted the atrocities in Jilin Prison and their support for fellow practitioners imprisoned there.
