Falun Gong protest outside Chinese Embassy in Prague

Two dozen Czech followers of the spiritual movement Falun Gong gathered outside the Chinese Embassy in Prague on Thursday to stage a peaceful protest against human rights abuse in China. The demonstration will continue until Friday evening. The organizers have called on Czechs to join the global event in support of Tibet at 2.08 p.m. - the start of the Olympic Games in Beijing - by lighting a candle and praying for peace.
