Graphic designer Julian and her daughter Katy came to the booth and signed the petition. Julian said, “Falun Gong practitioners introduced the practice to me and told me about the persecution in China four or five years ago. I signed a petition against the persecution at that time.”
She said she was sorry to hear that the persecution is still ongoing. She indicated that she would help stop the persecution with her best effort.
