On the 4th of August 2004, Falun Gong practitioners gathered at Moscow’s marketplace, where Chinese people are the primary ethnic group, and later appealed against Chinese dictator Jiang Zemin’s brutal persecution of Falun Gong practitioners outside the Chinese Embassy. There were also protests against Jiang’s accomplice Bo Xilai visiting Moscow. Falun Gong practitioners from places in Russia, Ukraine and Latvia held an exhibition entitled, “The Persecution Happening to Falun Gong Practitioners – Picture Exhibition and Simulations of Torture”. This activity was officially permitted by the Moscow Government.

At the market, there are a few thousand Chinese business people and they had been deeply poisoned by the Jiang regime’s deceitful and slanderous propaganda. On the only path from the underground station to the market place, practitioners put up posters introducing Falun Dafa and set up live simulations of all kinds of torture used by the Jiang regime to persecute people who practise Falun Gong in China. The banners read, “Truthfulness Compassion Tolerance”, “Falun Dafa is Good”, “More than 1000 Falun Dafa practitioners have been persecuted to death in China”, “Bring Jiang Zemin and his Accomplices to Justice” and “We Demand the End of the Persecution in China”.

Hundreds of Chinese and Russian people passed by. A megaphone was used to tell people about Falun Dafa and the illegal persecution that’s happening to practitioners in China. Some practitioners sent forth righteous thoughts and others demonstrated the five sets of Falun Gong exercises. Practitioners talked about the persecution to every Chinese and Russian person who passed by; lots of leaflets and paper lotus flowers with “Falun Dafa is Good” written on them were given out. Many Chinese people asked all kinds of questions, and practitioners talked to them with a benevolent and peaceful heart. This activity allowed lots of people to hear about Falun Gong and the persecution in China.

Originally Bo Xilai planned to come to this market on the 4thof August but he was afraid of Falun Gong practitioners’ appeal so in the end he went to the market in secret. On the same day, Falun Gong practitioners from Moscow, St. Petersburg and Ukraine held a banner reading “Bring the Main Murderers of Falun Gong Practitioners in China to Justice” in front of the Chinese Embassy, protesting against Jiang Zemin’s accomplice Bo Xilai visiting Moscow. On this day Bo Xilai happened to be in the embassy.
