UK Press Release: First Anniversary of 24 Hour Vigil by Falun Gong practitioners outside the Chinese Embassy

(Clearwisdom.net June 4, 2003) LONDON (EFGIC) Falun Gong practitioners around the UK will come together at 12.30pm on Thursday June 5, 2003 to hold a press conference opposite the Chinese Embassy, Portland Place, W1 at which Lord Thurlow will speak. For one year, UK Falun Gong practitioners have maintained a twenty-four hour peaceful protest opposite the Chinese Embassy to protest at the evil and inhumane treatment of Falun Gong practitioners in China by the Chinese regime. Since the start of the 24 hour vigil there have been over 215 death cases that we have been able to verify -- the true death toll is very likely to be much higher. In total there have been 720 deaths that we have been able to verify since the start of the persecution on 20 July 1999.
