July 27, 2015 | By Falun Gong practitioners in Asian countries

(Minghui.org) Falun Gong practitioners around the world have held various events over the last two weeks to commemorate the 16th anniversary of the peaceful resistance against the persecution in China. They also publicized the recent wave of criminal complaints against Jiang Zemin, the former head of the Chinese Communist Party and the main culprit responsible for the persecution.

Events held in Taiwan, Korea, Macau, Malaysia and Indonesia were a part of this global effort to call for an end to the atrocities in China.
