A smear campaign of defamatory articles and advertisements against practitioners of Falun Gong has been stopped in the Montreal and Ottawa area. This propaganda aimed at Falun Gong repeating the lies of the Embassy of the People's Republic of China is shameful.

In light of the first ever court order being issued to stop the spread of lies, mistruths and misrepresentations regarding Falun Dafa, I would like to congratulate Falun Dafa Canada. Their work in stopping the incitement of hatred towards practitioners of Falun Gong makes Canada a better place. This initial victory sends a strong message that Canada, governed by the rule of law, will not tolerate such manipulation.

I understand the uphill battle practitioners are facing. My own office has been a target of the mistruths spread by the Embassy of the People's Republic of China. They have attempted to spread their misrepresentations widely in Canada and it is heartening to hear that these practices are beginning to be stopped.
