Falun Dafa Information Center issued a statement on the 1st of the month: On September 11, under the pressure of the Chinese consulate, local police in Kiev, Ukraine prevented Falun Gong practitioner Igor Izevlin from holding a peaceful and legal demonstration in front of the Chinese consulate. The Chinese government has used its political and economic power to put constant pressure on the governments of the countries in which it is stationed, on the media and the local Chinese communities, furiously extending overseas the campaign of persecution against Falun Gong without even attempting to conceal this effort at all. Such extremely shameless actions have already violated the local laws of the Ukrainian nation.
Worldwide Support

Clarifying the Truth and Breaking through the Information Blockade
In the evening of November 5, a French city held a party in celebration of the mayor's winning of the Honorable Knight Medal of the armed forces. Many politicians and VIPs who attended the party accepted the truth-clarifying materials and expressed that they would pay close attention to the situation of Falun Gong practitioners in China.
Using Internet chat rooms to spread the truth of Dafa and awaken the people
of the world is an effective way of breaking through the blockade of the truth
of Dafa by the evil in Mainland China. Using the wisdom and principles of Dafa
endowed by Dafa to clarify the truth, many people of different levels and inborn
qualities often become convinced by the principles of Dafa and thus change their
hostile attitudes and free themselves from the deception of the evil.
