On Saturday 8th November, Dafa practitioners held a peaceful appeal in front of the Chinese embassy in Dublin, the capital city of Ireland. The practitioners practised the Falun Gong exercises and sent forth righteous thoughts. People driving past the Chinese Embassy honked their car horns in support of the Falun Dafa appeal.

Many of the practitioners felt that this activity was particularly important after hearing about 100 practitioners imprisoned in a prison in Jilin province, China. These practitioners have been imprisoned because they practise Falun Gong, in a persecution that is completely ungrounded and immoral. Jiang Zemin’s campaign of genocide against Falun Gong is an enormous and systematic attempt to wipe out people’s morality and conscience. Those who want to improve their health and moral standard through practising Falun Gong are tortured, murdered, raped, brainwashed and beaten. Many of the practitioners imprisoned in Jilin have resorted to a hunger strike as their last means of appeal against this persecution. Some of them are near death after suffering brutal torture from the prison authorities.
