Where:
Zenger Room, National Press Club, Washington, D.C.

Who:
Representative of Falun Dafa Association of Washington, D.C.,

What:
On the day of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leader Xi Jinping's arrival in the United States, Falun Gong practitioners call for help to end the over 12 years brutal persecution by CCP and bring the criminals to justice.

Background
The future chosen leader of Communist China, Xi Jinping, arrives in Washington on Feb. 13. Xi is on course to become secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) this fall at the 18th Party Congress, replacing top leader Hu Jintao. Just a week ago, Wang Lijun, the deputy mayor and the head of the Public Security Bureau of Chongqing, went to the U.S. Consulate in Chengdu, might be requesting political asylum due to the internal power struggle within the Chinese Communist Party. The U.S. Department of State has verified this daylong visit and said Wang left on his own volition. It was reported by various media of both Chinese and other languages, that Wang had a long talk with the staff in the U.S. Consulate and revealed much confidential information within the CCP. He also submitted some undisclosed paperwork.

Falun Gong practitioners, who have been persecuted for twelve years by the Chinese Communist regime, would like to make two requests. First, we hope the U.S. government to disclose the contents of the conversation between Wang and U.S. Consulate that is relevant to Falun Gong.

Second, we ask China's next leader, Xi Jinping to immediately stop the persecution of Falun Gong, to conduct a thorough investigation of the Chinese officials responsible for the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners, and to bring to justice the main culprits, including Jiang Zemin, Luo Gan, Zhou Yongkang, etc.
