(Minghui.org) Hundreds of Falun Gong practitioners held a candlelight vigil in front of the Chinese Consulate in New York at dusk on July 20, 2012, to mourn fellow practitioners in China who have died as a result of the persecution by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). They called on kind-hearted people to learn the truth about the persecution and work together to stop the CCP's 13-year inhuman and wicked persecution of Falun Gong.


It was raining off and on, which made it feel as if the heavens were weeping for Falun Gong practitioners who have suffered the most appalling injustice through the ages, and for the precious people of the world who have been deceived by the Communist Party into ignoring the precious opportunity to learn the truth about Falun Gong. Practitioners believe that the heavens were moved by tens of thousands of Falun Gong practitioners who have made extraordinary contributions while remaining steadfast in their belief.
