(Minghui.org) The 2014 G20 Leaders' Summit in Brisbane this past November provided Australians an opportunity to learn more about Falun Gong and the persecution the practice faces in China. While the eyes of the world were on Brisbane, Falun Gong practitioners took the opportunity to raise awareness about the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) brutal 15-year persecution of the peaceful cultivation practice. Practitioners' peaceful protests over the duration of the summit impressed the local media and won support from the police and Brisbane citizens.
