Falun Gong Practitioners Hold "Thank You Luncheon" to Express Appreciation for the Canadian People's Support over the Past Three Years (Photo)
By practitioners from Canada
Members of Parliament sponsored this event, which was co-sponsored by MPs,
including Ms. Colleen Beaumier, Ms. Libby Davies, Mr. Scott Reid, and Mr. Svend
Robinson. Attendees included MPs, Senators, representatives from NGOs and
community members.
For the past three years in Canada, MPs, Senators, NGOs, officials at all
levels of government and the Canadian people have supported Falun Gong
practitioners, who have been under brutal persecution by the communist regime in
China. Part of the achievement of these efforts was the successful rescue of a
number of Canadians and their family members from Chinese custody, such as:
Currently, there are at least 12 more family members of Canadians who are
suffering in Chinese labor camps or prisons. Tens of thousands of families have
been destroyed by the brutal persecution of Falun Gong. Millions of people were
and still are deprived of their basic human rights in China.
Falun Gong, also known as Falun Dafa, is a practice of meditation and
exercises with teachings based on the universal principle of
"Truthfulness-Compassion-Tolerance." Since its introduction in 1992, it quickly
spread by word of mouth throughout China, and is now practiced in over 50
countries.
