(Minghui.org) Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa, was made public first in Changchun, Jilin Province, China on May 13, 1992, by its founder Mr. Li Hongzhi. The practice has since spread to over 100 countries.
May 13 was declared as “World Falun Dafa Day” in 2000. On the occasion of the 20th Falun Dafa Day and also the 68th birthday of Mr. Li, elected officials in Canada sent congratulatory letters to celebrate World Falun Dafa Day and commend Falun Gong.
They also condemned the Chinese Communist Party' (CCP) persecution of Falun Gong, especially the CCP state-sanctioned live organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners for a lucrative profit. They called on change in China to stop the persecution.
