24 Hours (Vancouver, Canada): Suing the High and Mighty

24 Hours

Nov. 3, 2005

The Falun Dafa Association will serve the latest Chinese official to visit Canada with papers when he arrives today, suing Chinese Communist Party Vice Secretary of the Jilin Province, Lin Yanzhi, with torture and crimes against humanity.

Vowing to file lawsuits for torture and crimes against humanity against every Chinese official who steps out of China, and found to be involved in the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners, the Falun Dafa Association has now charged two such officials in as many weeks.

But they're also offering the officials a way out.

"All over the world they have been put on notice that if they stop participating the persecution of Falun Gong, they can be forgiven," said Sophia Bronwen, practitioner and spokesperson, outside Vancouver's Chinese consulate yesterday.

"It's about compassion and about finding a new way to do things."

Last week, Guangdong Governor Huang Huahua was also served with legal papers in Vancouver, compliments of the Falun Dafa Association.

The Epoch Times, an international Chinese newspaper, published Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party last November, and Vancouver reporter April Zhu told 24 hours that since the book's release, more than 5 million Chinese in mainland China have quit the Communist Party.
