On March 9th, 2009, when Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi was visiting the US, Falun Gong practitioners in the Washington DC area held a peaceful appeal outside the US State Department Building, calling on the US Government officials not to forget to address the brutal persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China, when they meet with the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) foreign minister.

At the same time, the Washington Area Falun Dafa Association wrote to President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton, regarding the ten-year persecution of Falun Gong in China, especially the blatant arrests, detention and forced labour sentencing that the CCP imposed upon practitioners before the Beijing Olympics last year. The association also delivered to the Secretary of State the 2008 annual report entitled "Escalated Campaign against Falun Gong in China Before and After the Olympics" compiled by the Falun Dafa Information Center (FDI), lawyer Gao Zhisheng's letter to the US Congress and Mr. Gao's article entitled "Dark Night, Dark Hood and Kidnapping by Dark Mafia" published on the Radio Free Asia website on February 8th.

An official from the State Department accepted the letter to Secretary of State Clinton.
