The Glorious "April 25" – A Personal Account of the Events of the Day
(Clearwisdom) Editor's note: To commemorate the twelfth
anniversary of the April 25 Appeal, Clearwisdom presents this as
one of a series of republished articles from years past. The April
25th Appeal was notable not only for its size, but also
because it was remarkably peaceful and orderly. Some 10,000
practitioners gathered in central Beijing that day, peacefully
protesting for their civil rights. The CCP propaganda machine,
however, in its quest to crush Falun Gong at the bidding of then
Party Chairman Jiang Zemin, twisted the facts to serve its own
motives. To this day, CCP propaganda accuses Falun Gong of "laying
siege to the Zhongnanhai Central Government Compound" on April 25,
1999, falsely alleging that the 10,000 gathered posed a violent
threat to the nation and its leaders. Nothing could be further from
the truth, of course, as this series of articles documents from
various angles.
Was the Appeal on April 25, 1999, the Cause of the Persecution?

Did Too Many People Attend the “April 25 Appeal”?
(Clearwisdom.net) Twelve years ago, on April 25, 1999, more
than ten thousand Falun Gong practitioners went to the Office of
Letters and Appeals in Beijing, to assert their basic rights of
belief. The practitioners were highly self-disciplined during the
process, very peaceful and rational. It was the largest appeal in
Chinese history. However, several months later, the regime's
propaganda machine had turned the peaceful appeal into a “siege” in
attempts to justify the persecution in the minds of the people.
