On July 18, 2015, Practitioners of Falun Gong and their supporters gathered at the scenic La Jolla Cove on the 16th anniversary of Chinese Communist Party’s severe suppression of the spiritual discipline to promote a recent movement to bring the chief perpetrator of the persecution to justice.
On July 20, 1999, then Communist Party leader Jiang Zemin launched a nationwide campaign to eradicate Falun Gong, a traditional Chinese meditation practice that involves slow, gentle exercises and adherence to the principles of truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance.
