On July 23rd, 2005, practitioners in Peru gathered in a park in front of Chinese Consulate and held a commemorative candlelight vigil and called for an end of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) six-year-long ongoing persecution.

Calling for an end to the persecution

To begin with, practitioners held glowing candles and held a three minute silence to commemorate those who have been tortured to death for refusing to give up Falun Dafa. A special piece of music composed by a practitioner, entitled "Pudu" was played. Passersby could understand the meaning behind practitioners' activities by reading banners and posters placed out on the grass: "Stop the persecution of Falun Gong", "Bring Jiang Zemin to Justice", "Rescue practitioners being persecuted" and "Truth, Compassion, Tolerance".

Candlelight vigil

Near the end of the activity, a motorcade following a police van passed slowly by in front of the practitioners. The practitioners greeted the motorcade by waving hands and said "Falun Dafa is good". Later it was learned that it was the president's motorcade. The president saw the peaceful activity of practitioners and asked the police guarding the consulate about the reason behind it.
