(Clearwisdom.net) On April 23, 2004, Falun Gong practitioners from Kinki, Japan held a parade to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the April 25 peaceful appeal and to call for bringing Jiang to justice. On April 25, 1999, 10,000 Falun Gong practitioners went to the Appeals Office of the State Council located on Fuyou Street in Beijing to peacefully and lawfully appeal on behalf of Falun Gong.

Unfortunately, on July 20, the same year, Jiang and his followers suddenly started the suppression of Falun Gong. They abused their power to manipulate the entire state propaganda machine to defame Falun Gong. As a result, China and the whole world were flooded with the monstrous lies. From then on, Falun Gong has been suffering a great injustice.

In order to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the April 25 peaceful appeal and to call on Japanese society to condemn the chief perpetrator of this persecution, Jiang Zemin, Falun Gong practitioners from Kinki held a parade in the City of Osaka and sent righteous thoughts outside the Chinese Consulate.

The parade procession passed through Osaka City Hall and a busy area where a lot of lawyers work. The parade ran through lunchtime, and many government officials saw the procession and stopped to watch it. Some accepted practitioners' flyers, and some asked about the lawsuit against Jiang Zemin. After the parade concluded at the Chinese Consulate General in Osaka, practitioners sent forth thoughts there and commemorated the 5th anniversary of the April 25 appeal.
