France: Peaceful Appeal at the Chinese Consulate in Marseilles on the Sixth Anniversary of July 20th

On July the 23rd and 24th, a group of French Falun Gong practitioners went to the Chinese Consulate in Marseilles to hold a peaceful petition and candlelight vigil. They commemorated the six years of illegal persecution against Falun Gong and over 2,600 dead Falun Gong practitioners who lost their lives in the persecution.

Banners were hung up, reading, “Stop the torture” and “Falun Gong, Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance”. They attracted the attention of the passers-by and motorists. People stopped their cars in droves to find out more and ask for leaflets.

The candlelight vigil, which lasted the night in memory of the Falun Gong practitioners who were tortured to death, gave voice to the injustices for all human beings to become aware of and asked for their righteous support during that special summer night.

The practitioners protested to the Chinese Government and asked for the return to freedom for innocent Falun Gong practitioners in China and an immediate end to the persecution.
