Austria: Falun Gong Practitioners Expose the Persecution During Jia Qinglin's Visit to Austria

On the morning of September the 1st 2004, Jia Qinglin visited the Austrian Parliament. Outside the Parliament, Falun Gong practitioners unfurled banners exposing the regime of Jiang Zemin and Jia Qinglin’s inhumane persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. The Austrian Parliament is situated in Vienna’s inner city ringroad, which is one of the busiest parts of Vienna. Passing cars all saw the banners that practitioners held up and sometimes blew their horns to express support. Many pedestrians received information about the current persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China. At night, Falun gong practitioners held a candlelit vigil outside the Chinese Embassy, condemning Jia Qinglin and his gang’s cruel persecution and calling for an end to these human rights abuses.

On the morning of September 2nd, 2004, Jia Qingling paid a visit to the President of Austria’s office before leaving Austria. Falun Gong practitioners also held appeal activities outside the presidential office.
