(Clearwisdom.net) Chinese Commerce Minister Bo Xilai will accompany
Chinese President Hu Jintao on his upcoming visit to the United States. Representatives
of the Falun Dafa Association have written to the United States government
seeking to prevent Bo Xilai from obtaining a U.S. visa. Bo Xilai is the former
Dalian City Mayor/CCP Secretary and Governor of Liaoning Province. He is being
sued by Falun Dafa practitioners in many countries for torture and other crimes
against humanity committed during his term.
The U.S. Falun Dafa Association cites section 212(a)(2)(G) of the U.S.
Immigration and Naturalization Act, which states that foreign government
officials who have engaged in particularly severe violations of religious
freedom (as defined in Section 3 of the International Religious Freedom Act) are
not allowed entry into the country. Hence, based on U.S. law, Bo Xilai is
included in this category of not welcome.
According to the reports of the World Organization to Investigate
Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG), it is evident from meeting minutes and
reports that Bo Xilai plotted and assigned many aspects of persecuting Falun
Gong during his term as Dalian City mayor and as the Governor of Liaoning
Province. Liaoning Province is one of the Chinese provinces with a history of
severe persecution of Falun Gong
In 2004, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) obtained a list of names of 45
Chinese officials from different government levels who are responsible for the
persecution of Falun Gong. If anyone on the list attempts to enter Canada, a
prompt investigation would take place, resulting in potential refusal of visas
to Canada, cancellation of their Canadian citizenship, deportation, and charges
and punishment based on Canada's laws governing crimes against humanity and war
crimes. Bo Xilai's name is on that list for crimes related to persecution of
Falun Gong.
On August 26, 2005, the Canada Falun Dafa Association held a press conference at
the Canadian Parliament building, requesting that the Canadian Government refuse
to grant Bo Xilai a visa. The Falun Dafa Association also requested that the
current Dalian City Mayor Xia Deren, scheduled to visit Canada in late
September, be denied a visa. At the press conference thirteen page document was
presented with detailed proof of the actions of Bo Xilai and and Xia Deren in
persecuting Falun Gong in Liaoning Province and Dalian City.
