Australia: Queensland Dafa Practitioners Hold a "July 20th" Rally to Expose Evil Persecution

On July 19, 2003, Dafa practitioners from across Queensland Province converged in capital city Brisbane to hold a series of activities to peacefully protest Chinese regime's four-year persecution of Falun Gong.

A police car led the procession, followed by practitioners in golden exercise suits holding banners stating, "Falun Dafa is good," and "Uphold justice in the world," and others. Behind them were two young women in white who carried a huge wreath in memorial, practitioners holding photos of practitioners who have been tortured to death, and practitioners holding banners with words in both Chinese and English, "Persecution cannot destroy our belief," and "Falun Dafa."

A "court of justice" was set up on a truck, surrounded by banners stating, "Falun Dafa Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance," "Four years is too long, China must stop suppressing Falun Gong," and photos of Dafa practitioners who have been tortured to death by Jiang's regime. "Jiang's ten crimes" were listed on the side of the truck.

Behind the truck was a huge arrangement composed of colourful balloons with the words Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance on them. The practitioners wearing traditional folk costumes of different countries and nationalities formed a grand procession, representing the wide spread of Falun Dafa.

In the afternoon, practitioners exhibited "Falun Dafa's Wide Spread All Over the World" display boards at the King George Square in downtown. There was also a Falun Dafa artistic performance going on. Liberal Party Member Glam Keke of the Queensland Province attended and gave a speech. Beautiful exercises demonstrations and elegant traditional Chinese dances and music attracted many tourists to stop and watch, including tourists from China. They witnessed the widespread of Falun Dafa around the world.

In the evening, practitioners held a candlelight vigil at the King George Square and continuously sent righteous thoughts.

Dafa practitioners in Makai Area in Queensland also held activities simultaneously to expose the evil and call for an end to the persecution.

Judge sentences Jiang for crimes against humanity and genocide

Federal Plaza is situated across from the railway station in downtown, one of the most vibrant areas in Melbourne. Practitioners set up a "Court of Justice" to hold a mock trial against Jiang. Four people testified at the court. One was a Falun Gong practitioner who had been persecuted in China. Another was a CCTV reporter who had to resign because he did not want to be forced to make fake news; the third witness was "Liu Chunling", who died in the staged self-immolation on Tiananmen Square. She asked Jiang why he lied and had her killed, and why her 12-year-old daughter suddenly died when she was ready to leave the hospital. "Liu Chunling" said that she was very regretful, that if she only had genuinely practised Falun Gong, things would not have ended like this. The fourth witness was an Australian practitioner who had travelled to Tiananmen Square in 2001 to appeal for Falun Gong but was arrested and beaten. She asked Jiang why he was extending the persecution to overseas.

Many people passing by showed great interest in watching the trial, and they accepted Dafa truth-clarifying materials and signed their names on the petition to bring Jiang to justice. Many tourists took pictures or videotaped the scene.

On the evening of July 20, Melbourne practitioners also held a candlelight vigil in front of the Chinese Consulate to commemorate those fellow practitioners who have been tortured to death in China in conjunction with the commemoration activities in Washington D.C.
