Falun Gong practitioners Jiang Chao-hui and Zhang Ke, the two major organizers of Falun Gong press conference and Guang-zhou experience sharing conference were sentenced with 3 years of imprisonment. Another practitioner who attended the news conference as the interpreter, Ms. Lei Xiao-ting, was sentenced with 2 years of imprisonment.
In last October, when Chinese President Jiang Ze-min defamed Falun Gong as an "evil religion" publicly in France, over thirty practitioners including the above three held a Falun Gong news conference in Beijing, with great courage and wisdom, in order to tell the world the truth of Falun Gong. This news conference was a big success and had drawn attention from the international media such as AP and Reuters.
