A March and A Rally in the U.S. Capital to Support 3 Million People Withdrawing from the Communist Party (Photos)

[PureInsight.org] On the steaming hot Friday of July 22, 2005, over 2,000 Chinese and western people from about 50 countries marched and rallied in the United States' capital, Washington, DC, to support the 3 million people worldwide that have withdrawn from the evil Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

The grand march began at noon from Farragut Square in Washington, DC and arrived at the Lincoln Memorial at 1:00 P.M. where the rally took place. Lawmakers from the United States, Canada and Sweden, pro-democracy activists and Mr. Chen Yonglin, a former Chinese diplomat who defected to Australia to renounce the Chinese Communist Party, gave speeches at the rally to support the global trend to withdraw from the Communist Party, a phenomenon triggered by The Epoch Times' "Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party."
