Ms. Ying Zhu, a Falun Gong practitioner from Montreal, was released by the Chinese government and arrived in Montreal at 1 am on June 21, 2001.

Ying is a permanent resident of Canada and her husband is a Canadian citizen. She was arrested by the Chinese police on her way from Hong Kong to Guangzhou (Canton) to visit her husband and their parents. Her arrest outraged both the Falun Gong practitioners and the general public, who then started a campaign leading to her release.

This is the second case (after that of Professor Kunlun Zhang) of Falun Gong practitioners who are Canadian residents being detained in China. Falun Gong practitioners will hold a press conference concerning this in Montreal tomorrow, on June 22, 2001. Details will follow when available.
