Saturday, 20 April 2019, 12:25 pm Press Release: Falun Gong
Commemoration of Historic Falun Gong
Appeal
The Falun Gong Community will hold an
event at Aotea Square, Saturday 20 April 2019 from 11 am to
3 pm.
The event is intended to commemorate the peaceful
appeal which took place in Beijing on 25th April 1999 where
Falun Gong practitioners called for the release of other
Falun Gong practitioners who had been unlawfully arrested
and illegally detained in Tianjin, China. This was nothing
more than a call for the Chinese Communist Party to respect
the fundamental human right to freedom of belief.
Approximately three months later the CCP commenced its
persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China.
The
event is also intended to call for respect for the right to
freedom of belief and to end the persecution of Falun Gong
practitioners in China. For more information about Falun
Gong, please visit the website: www.falundafa.org
