The Record (Kitchener-Waterloo, Canada): China is in dark ages

December 26, 2001

I can only applaud the efforts of Zenon Dolnyckyl and the 30 other members of Falun Gong from 10 other countries, a veritable United Nations, who peacefully demonstrated in Tiananmen Square on Nov. 22. Although the [Jiang Zemin] government quickly and roughly slapped them into prison before expelling them from the country, their point was made. Freedom of worship is enjoyed in most civilized countries of the world.

How long will it be before China emerges from the dark ages and allows its citizens this basic human right?

How long will it be before China stops persecuting and torturing its citizens for following their chosen spiritual beliefs?
