Photo Report: Australian Practitioners Hold Candlelight Vigil in Gold Coast to Mourn for Practitioners Who Have Been Persecuted to Death

July 6, 2001

On June 26, practitioners in Australia held a candlelight vigil in Gold Coast to mourn for practitioners who have been persecuted to death.

In the evening, two in a group, practitioners wore yellow T-shirts with "China: Stop Persecuting Falun Gong" and distributed flyers in Carvill Mall. Many passersby signed while reading about the persecution on the flyer.

At 8:00pm, we moved to "Paradise for divers" coast, hung the banners and started the candlelight vigil. Many people came over to shake hands with us and show their support. During this time, we happened to meet a group of Chinese officials from China. One of them said, "The Chinese government's false news has gone too far." He sincerely wanted to know more truth. We should double our effort in clarifying the truth to people of the world.

When the wind became stronger, we started the parade by candlelight. Each of us held a candle. The procession quietly passed two streets. Many people asked what had happened. It was hard for them to believe that there is no freedom of thought or human rights in China.
