Seattle Falun Dafa Practitioners Hold a 24-Hour Sit-in in Chinatown Commemorating Fellow Practitioners in China who have been Tortured to Death (Photos)

May 17, 2002

(Clearwisdom.net) At a time when the heavens and the earth are together celebrating the 10th anniversary of Falun Dafa's public introduction, Seattle practitioners miss their fellow practitioners in Mainland China a great deal. Under the malicious persecution that has blotted out the sky and covered up the earth, their fellow practitioners in Mainland China continue to uphold "Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance," steadfastly clarifying the truth about Dafa to the Chinese people who have been deceived by Jiang's propaganda and offering them salvation. At least 400 fellow practitioners in Mainland China have sacrificed their lives as a result. These are great and compassionate feats.

To memorialize these fellow practitioners, a number of practitioners from the Seattle area gathered in Celebration Park in Chinatown and held a 24-hour sit-in and candlelight vigil. On the 10th anniversary of Dafa's worldwide spreading, the heavens were also moved. In the evening, dark clouds blew turbulently over Chinatown and heavy rains came down. Only at the open spot where practitioners were sitting was there neither wind nor rain -- only a clear sky.
