Commemoration of Historic Falun Gong Appeal

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
