(Clearwisdom.net) On September 24, Falun Gong practitioners held activities at the G20 in Pittsburgh, calling for an end of the persecution and bringing the murderers of the persecution, Jiang Zemin, Luo Gan, Zhou Yongkang and Liu Jing, to justice.
Practitioners started the activities at 8:00 am. They held up banners, which read "Stop the persecution of Falun Gong", "Bring Jiang Zemin, Luo Gan, Zhou Yongkang and Liu Jing to justice", "The world need truthfulness-compassion-forbearance."
There were many protesting groups, but Falun Gong group was closest to the G20 conference hall. When a reporter wondered why, Mr. Jian, a Falun Gong practitioner, told him: "We showed the photos of Chinese practitioners being tortured. We also explained our peaceful resistance to the policemen. They were touched and some were moved to tears. They said that it was their responsibility to help stop the persecution, and Falun Gong practitioners have the right to protest. So they arranged the best spot for us."

Mr. Li, a U.S government employee, said, "People who know Falun Gong agree that Falun Gong is not political and poses no threat to the Chinese Communist Party. Practitioners have a high moral standard."
Ms. Zhang Lingdi
Ms. Zhang Lingdi, the daughter of a famous artist, came to the protest. Ms. Zhang's father, Prof. Zhang Kunlun, also a Falun Gong practitioner, was arrested in 2002. He was badly tortured in a labor camp. Ms. Zhang said: "Practitioners in Canada have talked to the government and public about Falun Gong, asking for help. Prof. Zhang was rescued three months later, thanks to everyone's efforts."
Ms. Zhang Lingdi said: "What we are doing here today is to tell people that Falun Gong is good, and let people know about the brutal persecution. We believe it is the best way to stop the persecution."
