The five Canadian practitioners suing Chen are Zhang Kunlun,
Jin Rong, Liu Wenyu, Zhu Ying and Fuo Zhaoxia. The court delivered the
subpoena to Chen Zhili in person on February 8.
Chen Zhili has actively applied Jiang's policy of
suppressing Falun Gong during her term as Minister of Education. She
enforced
the propaganda of slandering Falun Gong in the educational system, from
elementary schools to colleges, forced students to sign their names
against
Falun Gong, and poisoned the minds of Chinese youth. Under the
persecutory
policies, in 2003 alone, there were at least 435 practitioners from 210
universities
or colleges forcibly sent to brainwash classes, forced labor camps or
even psychiatric
hospitals, where they underwent brutal persecution. According to
unofficial

Practitioners peacefully protest in front of the hotel and expose the persecution
On February 2, 2006, the Ambassador of the Chinese Communist regime
to the US,
Zhou Wenzhong, came to Dallas to attend a luncheon held by the World
Affairs Council in the Wyndham Anatole Hotel in
Dallas. Falun Gong practitioners from the Dallas area came to protest
and expose the
persecution against Falun Gong, providing opportunities for more people
to
learn the facts about how the Chinese Communist regime violates human
rights,
deprives people of their freedom of belief, and brutally persecutes
Falun Gong
practitioners who are guided by the principles of
"Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance."
The Wyndham Anatole Hotel, located
north of downtown Dallas, stands next to the I-35 highway, and faces
Market
Center Blvd. Practitioners stood on the
sidewalk of Market Center Blvd wearing yellow t-shirts and held up
banners and
posters, drawing the attention of the luncheon's attendees. Some came
up and
asked questions.
Ms. Zhang, a participant of the protest said that, even
though the location here was quite far from where practitioners live,
everyone really
wanted to take the opportunity to explain the facts to more people. The
protestors
range from eighty year old seniors, to young people who work in the
city. They either
took the day off or used their lunch breaks to drive up here. Ms. Zhang
also
mentioned that as the luncheon hosts invited local English and Chinese
media,
reporters from the largest local English newspaper "Dallas
Morning News" came and saw the protest. They interviewed practitioners
and reported on it.
Practitioner Ms. Yang said, "This is a very good opportunity
to expose the persecution and to reveals the facts. In the process of
this event,
we have seen that people who long to know about Falun Gong are
everywhere. On
the day before the luncheon, some practitioners contacted the hotel and
talked
to the management of the hotel. To prepare some materials for the
event,
practitioners went to print out some pictures that depicted the brutal
persecution and torture of practitioners in mainland China. When the
employees
of the copy shop saw those pictures, they were shocked, and asked for
more detailed
information."
Ms. Chen, another participant of the protest said, "We call for
an end to the Chinese Communist regime's persecution of Falun Gong
immediately.
Many passersby in cars gave us a thumbs up, and honked to show their
support."
