(Clearwisdom.net)The persecution of Falun Gong started on July 20,1999 and so this year on July 20, practitioners from Kiev and Ukraine went to the Chinese consulate and appealed for an end to the five-year persecution.

On the pavement opposite the Chinese consulate, Ukrainian practitioners held up numerous banners, which read, "We are not against the Chinese government. We appeal against the persecution of Falun Gong", "Bring Jiang Zemin, Luo Gan, Liu Jing, Zhou Yongkang to justice" etc. Practitioners also displayed pictures showing torture methods used to force practitioners in China to give up their belief in Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance. Falun Gong has spread to many cities in Ukraine and received recognition from the government.
