(Clearwisdom.net) According to reliable news, former Chinese Minister
of Education Chen Zhili is going to visit Canada. Because during her term as
Minister of Education, Chen Zhili actively carried out Jiang's policy of
persecuting Falun Gong in the educational system, she is suspected of committing
genocide and other crimes against humanity. The Canada Falun Dafa Association
has requested the Canadian government to deny entry to Chen Zhili, but if Chen
enters Canada, Falun Gong practitioners will immediately take legal action
against her. According to an investigation report published by the World Organization to
Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG) on May 26, 2004, former
Chinese Minister of Education Chen Lizhi must take direct responsibility for the
large-scale persecution of Falun Gong in the field of education during her
tenure. The report states that, taking advantage of her special relationship with
Jiang Zemin and the power derived from it, Chen was responsible for a vicious
persecution, affecting people throughout the educational system. Chen Zhili
organized many anti-Falun Gong conferences to advance the persecution against
Falun Gong. She issued documents in the name of the Education Ministry to launch
a Cultural Revolution-style campaign to force teachers and students in
universities, high schools and elementary schools to declare their stance on
Falun Gong, and no one was excepted. She forced teachers and students to watch
films slandering and attacking Falun Gong, and conducted the anti-Falun Gong
"Million Signatures" campaign to coerce students to take part in a
persecution that was initiated by a handful of people. She ordered anti-Falun
Gong contents to be inserted in textbooks and written exams in primary schools
and high schools--even in college entrance exams and graduate entrance
exams--and included programs framing Falun Gong broadcasted on CCTV and other
media outlets into the curricula of colleges and universities to indoctrinate
and incite hatred in the future teachers' group, so as to achieve the goal of
long-term mental control over them. According to preliminary statistics, as of January 29, 2006, among Falun Gong
practitioners who have died from persecution published on Minghui Net website,
150 were teachers and students, and the torture death cases covered all of
China. Chen Zhili was sued when visiting the African country of Tanzania on July 30,
2004. Chen was charged with "employing torture and extra judicial killing
against Falun Gong in the circle of education in China." Chen Zhili was
summoned to appear in court on July 19 in Tanzania. (Please see "State
Councilor and Former Education Minister Chen Zhili Sued in Africa and Appears in
Court (Photo)" at http://www.clearwisdom.net/emh/articles/2004/8/1/50915.html) President of the Canadian Falun Dafa Association Li Xun said in an interview
that they will request action from "Canada's Crimes against Humanity and
War Crimes Program" composed of the Canadian Immigration Department, the
Royal Canadian Mounted police and officials from the Department of Justice, to
intervene with related departments and refuse to issue an entry visa to Chen
Zhili, thus preventing her from entering Canada. Li Xun said that the request
was proposed on the basis of Canada's Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes
Program and Canada's implementation of international law concerning these
issues. It is reported that the Falun Dafa Association once requested to deny entry
into Canada to two other Chinese Communist Party officials, Bo Xilai and Xia
Deren, who are deeply involved in the persecution of Falun Gong, in September
2005. Bo and Xia did not make the trip as scheduled. In October, the governor of
Guangdong Province, Huang Huahua, was sued after entering Canada and served with
a court summons.
