　　"April 25" : his refers to April 25, 1999, when ten thousand Falun Gong practitioners peacefully gathered at the State Council’s Appeals Bureau in Beijing near the government compound at Zhongnanhai and successfully appealed for the release of forty-five practitioners who had been unjustly arrested in Tianjin City.

　　Clarifying the Truth : Because of the persecution in China and the unrelenting hate campaign carried out by China's state-controlled media, Falun Gong practitioners have been actively "clarifying the truth" by explaining to the public the facts about Falun Gong and exposing the persecution. Truth clarification activities include face-to-face conversations with people, posting notices and posters, handing out flyers, and hanging banners. Outside of China, where Falun Gong is freely practiced, practitioners further expose the persecution through anti-torture reenactments, art exhibits, Internet websites, books, magazines, newspapers, movies and letter writing. The goal of clarifying the truth is to help people understand Falun Gong, to dispel the lies of the communist regime in China and to raise public support to end the persecution.
