Practitioners of Falun Gong, a form of meditation and exercise, staged a street theatre action in Union Square Park on Tuesday August 31st to dramatize the treatment of Falun Gong followers in China. The group of protestors displayed torture techniques used by the Chinese and distributed leaflets explaining the practice. The theatre in Union Square Park was part of a series of events organized by Falun Gong practitioners who traveled to New York City from across the world.

In China 860 deaths have been verified since the government persecution of Falun Gong began in 1999 while hundreds of thousands have been detained or placed in forced labor camps.
