Goslar News, April 14, 2002: "Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance," read the proud letters on yellow sweatshirts worn by members of Falun Gong as they proceeded in a silent protest march through Goslar. After meeting on Friday shortly before 3:00 p.m., they assembled and walked through the inner city to the train station. Approximately 60 participants from many different nations carried banners to raise awareness of the almost three year-old and still ongoing persecution of Falun Gong in China, a movement outlawed by Jiang Zemin. They used the occasion of his state visit to drive their message home.
