On Friday afternoon, August 17, 2001, six Falun Gong practitioners from Georgia, Alabama and Washington D.C. began a hunger strike in front of the Chinese Embassy in Washington D.C. The purpose of this action is to support the 130 practitioners who have been on hunger strike in China's Masanjia Labor Camp for nearly 20 days, to strongly protest the detention of practitioners beyond the limits of their sentences, and to expose the Chinese government's complete disregard for human life and their unwillingness to punish law enforcement officials who violate the law. They are requesting the immediate release of imprisoned Falun Gong practitioners in China.
