(Clearwisdom.net) On March 4, 2003, Falun Gong practitioners from Connecticut held a news conference at the New Haven City Hall to call for the rescue of Charles Li. Meanwhile, a petition campaign was initiated in many cities.

The Mayor of New Haven and other government officials and staff greatly supported this activity. They provided us with a meeting room in the City Hall. Many staff members also signed the petition to urge the Chinese Government to immediately release Charles Li.

On March 6, practitioners will carry out petition activities at the state capital Hartford and the city of Mildford.
