Over a hundred Orange County residents gathered in the village of Goshen, New York, on July 22 to raise awareness about the ongoing persecution of Falun Gong in China.
Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa, is a spiritual practice that combines meditative exercises with moral teachings centered on the principles of truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance.
The practice gained popularity in China in the early 1990s, with an estimated one in every thirteen Chinese doing it when the Chinese Community Party launched an all-out persecution campaign on July 20, 1999.
Falun Gong Club of Orange County president Liam O’Neil said at the rally: “This is a day of mourning, it is a day of sadness, but it is also a day of great hope for humanity because more and more people are waking up to what Falun Gong is and what this persecution is.”…
