(Clearwisdom.net) Minghui correspondent Zhou Shan: The Australian reported on June 4, 2005 that Chen Yonglin (pronunciation), the consul for monitoring Falun Gong at the CCP's consulate-general in Sydney, refused to continue working for the CCP's persecution of Falun Gong and political dissidents, and sought political asylum from the Australian government.
The report says that Chen Yonglin, 37, is the consul for political affairs at the Chinese consulate-general in Sydney. He told the reporter that he was not a member of Falun Gong but empathized with the group, whose practitioners in China, he said, had been "persecuted massively."
He told a reporter that he was responsible for monitoring political dissidents, including members of the Falun Gong, during the past four years in his post. He said he had been "going easy" on dissidents he had been charged with monitoring and not reporting them, in protest at Beijing's policies.
Chen Yonglin expressed that he was seeking political asylum because he could no longer support the CCP's persecution of dissidents.
He said, "Since I was a university student, I have been supporting the pro-democracy movement in China and have witness (sic) the Tiananmen Square democracy movement in 1989." He said he was strongly dissatisfied with the CCP.
He also expressed that he left the consulate seven days ago, and consulate security staff were looking for him everywhere. He said if he returned to Beijing, he would be persecuted.
