Urgent Media Advisory January 23, 2002
Toronto, January 23rd - Connie Chipkar, a 61-year-old Mississauga mother has disappeared in China after appealing for Falun Gong in Beijing's Tiananmen Square earlier today. Her son will appeal for his mother's safe return at a press conference today.
Statement from Connie Chipkar, Canada

I appeal to the Chinese citizens:
In February 2001, the Chinese President gave orders to exterminate Falun Dafa. He forbids the practice and practitioners are by his orders jailed and tortured to death. Practitioners know Falun Dafa is good and they choose to stand up for the goodness of "Zhen-Shan-Ren": Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.
Chinese Regime Continues to Capitalize on Tragic Self-Immolation Incident to Incite Hatred and Mistrust Towards Falun Gong
"We ask the world's media to be careful not to be used as a mouthpiece for the Chinese regime's propaganda." NEW YORK, January 23, 2002 (Falun Dafa Information Center) - One year ago today, five individuals allegedly set themselves on fire on Tiananmen Square in Beijing. Soon after, Chinese state-run media began a massive campaign, labeling the self-immolators as "Falun Gong practitioners" and utilizing the entire event to demonize Falun Gong in the media. |
