Clarifying the Truth at the Montreal International Forum October 21, 2002 (Clearwisdom.net) From October 14 to October 16, 2002, the "Montreal
International Forum" convened its conference entitled "2002: Global
Administration - Civilized Society and Democracy," attended by approximately 600
participants. They represented non-governmental organizations from all over the
world as well as the Canadian government, various media and the local government
of Quebec. Following a speech by a United Nations deputy secretary, two Falun Gong
practitioners raised their hands and spoke separately. They validated the
peaceful and benevolent nature of Falun Dafa and addressed the cruel persecution
of Falun Gong practitioners at the hands of the Jiang regime, pointing out in
particular that under pressure from the Jiang regime, Cambodia had repatriated
Falun Gong practitioners to China, thereby seriously violating International
Law. Following the presentation by Canada's Foreign Affairs Minister, Falun Gong
practitioners again emphasized that "Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance" are a
measure and standard for judging right or wrong, and that these principles can
benefit everyone in countless ways. This point of view met with approval from
the attendees. During the conference break and group discussions, several Falun Gong
practitioners spoke with representatives from non-governmental organizations in
Asia, Europe, North America and Africa. They introduced Falun Dafa, exposed the
cruel persecution happening in China, and made it possible for many attendees to
recognize that persecuting Falun Gong is not only a human rights issue, it is
also a fundamental threat to mankind. Most of the attendees requested Dafa
truth-clarifying materials and held dialogue with the Falun Gong practitioners.
Many non-governmental organizations' representatives signed the "Call for Help"
lists prepared by the practitioners and hoped to keep in touch with the
practitioners. Some attendees assured us that they would take the Falun Gong
truth-clarifying materials back to their own countries. Posting date: 10/29/2002
