Falun Dafa Practitioners from Los Angeles will appeal in front of the Deputy Office of the Hong Kong Trade and Development Bureau in Los Angeles on August 15 at 12:pm-2:00pm. The open letter from Dafa practitioners in Los Angeles states: "If we allow Falun Gong practitioners' rights to be arbitrarily violated, attention to human rights and freedom in general in Hong Kong will be fragile. The ultimate victims are the people of Hong Kong. Please help us stand up for the freedom of the people in Hong Kong."

Two practitioners from Toronto, Mao Fengying and Li Pianpian, began meditating in front of the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in Toronto at 8:00am on August 13 in order to express their support for the 16 Falun Gong practitioners subjected to the "political trial" in Hong Kong. They said, "Such political persecution should not happen in Hong Kong where democracy and rule of law are honored. We are sitting here not only to bring to light the unjust treatment our fellow practitioners have received, but also for freedom, democracy and the rule of law for the people of Hong Kong. We hope all the people who care about Hong Kong will support us."

It is obvious that the dictator Jiang Zemin uses his actions, step by step to break the promise of keeping the "one country, two systems" policy unchanged for 50 years. Notably, the final verdict of the trial against the peacefully appealing Falun Gong practitioners might completely destroy what the Hong Kong people are proud of: their legal system and their highly qualified civil servants. The accusations of "obstruction" and "attacking police" as the reasons for this "trial" are ridiculous. One can see clearly from the video footage that those well-behaved practitioners only occupied a tiny part of the street and left a spacious area for passersby. The defense lawyer said that the road is wide enough to accommodate a small-scale concert. The charge of "attacking police" is even more groundless. As shown in the video footage, it was the many policemen and policewomen who were attacking when they violently dragged those Falun Gong practitioners while the practitioners were completely in a passive state. How could it be possible for them to attack the police? The nature of this trial and the repeated postponing of the final verdict show that it occurred because of political pressure.
