Canada: A Successful Concert in Toronto to Rescue Orphans of Practitioners Who Have Lost their Lives in the Persecution

In China, many children have suffered persecution for practising Falun Gong, or because their parents practise Falun Gong. They are discriminated against, intimidated, unable to go to school, illegally detained, and beaten. They often end up wandering the streets, losing their parents, and some have even been tortured to death. They are the most helpless victims of the Chinese Communist Party and Jiang Zemin's regime's brutal persecution of Falun Gong. Their plight has touched the hearts of tens of thousands of Falun Gong practitioners and kind-hearted people.

In order to rescue these children suffering due to the persecution of their parents, the World Committee to Rescue Persecuted Falun Gong Practitioners successfully held two benefit concerts on May 14th, 2005 at MacMillan Theatre at the University of Toronto. Artists from Canada, America, Germany, the UK, Russia and other places presented a wonderful performance, bringing much enjoyment to the audience. At the same time, through playing videos and through the performance itself, the concert helped the audience learn about the persecution that children in Mainland China have been suffering due to the Chinese Communist regime's persecution of Falun Gong. Many audience members were shocked at the brutality of the persecution, and showed sympathy for those orphans who are living in such great difficulty.
