Hundreds of people gathered at Toronto’s Queen’s Park on July 13 to call for an end to the Chinese Communist Party’s persecution campaign against Falun Gong practitioners that began in China 26 years ago.
The commemoration event consisted of a public demonstration of Falun Gong meditative exercises, followed by a rally with speeches, and concluded with a parade through downtown Toronto, which featured a marching band and a display of banners calling for an end to the persecution.
