On the same day, individual activities were held in front of the Chinese Consulate in St. Petersburg. Fifteen practitioners held poster boards with Falun Gong information and called for an end to the persecution in China.
People on their way to the consulate to apply for visas looked at the posters. A young man said, “Evil is trying hard to destroy people’s freedom everywhere. We should not turn a blind eye to the troubles of others, but show our will.” He took copies of the information.
