Does any one know about this event taking place at the foot of Washington Monument: Falun Gong practitioners are grieving for those who are persecuted in Mainland China and doing a candle vigil in memory of all that have been killed for their belief.

They regularly put out signs and pass out leaflets all around DC, especially outside the Air and Space Museum (where many buses of Chinese visitors go). This may be related to those protests.

Falon gong happens all over the world.

No

Not aware of that

Another touristic question about the monument?
