Upon hearing the shocking news of 15 female Falun Gong practitioners being tortured to death at the Wanjia Labor Camp in Harbin City on the afternoon of July 3, despite the scorching sun, more than 100 Falun Gong practitioners and supporters came to the Chinese Consulate to appeal and hold a press conference. Practitioners strongly condemned the brutal persecution by Jiang Zemin's gangster regime and called for an immediate end to the persecution. They called on the media to investigate the massacre and for society to initiate an urgent rescue of the Falun Gong practitioners in China.
