Australia: The 2004 Australia Fa Conference and Activities on World Human Rights Day

Falun Gong practitioners from different areas in Australia held a three-day series of activities to introduce Falun Dafa and expose the persecution in China. On December 10th 2004, World Human Rights Day, Falun Gong practitioners held an anti-torture exhibition for a whole day at the Queen's Square in front of the High Court in Sydney to expose the brutal persecution of Falun Gong taking place in China. The practitioners also held a press conference regarding Falun Gong practitioner Zhang Cuiying's lawsuit against Jiang Zemin. They also built a 'Great Wall of Courage' on Macquarie Street and Elizabeth Street to peacefully appeal for an end to the persecution.

On the morning of December 11th, a large-scale group practise was held at the famous Darling Harbour in Sydney. This attracted many tourists who cam over to watch and and enquire about Falun Gong. In the afternoon, practitioners handed out lots of Falun Gong leaflets in nearby areas of Sydney. The practitioners also held an anti-torture exhibition. During the evening, some practitioners were invited to participate in a multicultural arts performance by the Hurstville local government. Other practitioners took part in a candle-light vigil and parade. Later, most practitioners participated in group Fa-study and afterwards, an exchange of understandings.

On December 13th, the Falun Dafa Experience Sharing Conference was held at Rockdale city hall. The Fa-conference enhanced Australian practitioners' coordination and cooperation as a whole entity, and practitioners became closer and more in harmony with one another through sharing and learning from each other's experiences.
