(Clearwisdom.net) On February 5, 2004, Falun Gong practitioners held a press conference at the Canadian Parliament to inform the media about the court's verdict against Deputy Consul General of China in Toronto, Mr. Pan Xinchun. Toronto Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Joel Chipkar recently filed a libel lawsuit against Pan for libel and Pan was convicted by an Ontario Superior Court of Justice on February 3. Canadian Senator Raynell Andreychuk attended the press conference to support the event. After the conference, Senator Andreychuk sent an email to a Falun Gong practitioner to ensure that propaganda and hate inducement against the Falun Gong is not done on Canadian soil.
Senator Andreychuk wrote: "Further to your email with respect to your successful court action against a Chinese Consular Official, I was pleased to be able to attend your press conference and to give support to you and the Falun Gong of Canada to ensure that Canadian soil is not used for propaganda and hate inducement against the Falun Gong. I will take every effort available to me to impress upon the Canadian Government that they must take action with the Chinese Government to ensure that this type of action stops immediately."
