(Clearwisdom.net) On February 7, 2006, five Canadian Falun Gong
practitioners who have worked or studied in the Chinese Educational System
filed a lawsuit with the Supreme Court of British Columbia, against Chen Zhili,
the visiting State Council Member of China. Chen Zhili, a diehard follower of
former Chinese President Jiang Zemin, has been accused of the crime of Torture
and Crimes Against Humanity. The court has delivered the subpoena to Chen. This is Chen's second time to be sued
since July 19, 2004,
when she was accused and summoned to the court in Tanzania for "committing crimes of torturing and killing Falun Gong
practitioners in the Chinese education system." The five Canadian practitioners suing Chen are Zhang Kunlun,
Jin Rong, Liu Wenyu, Zhu Ying and Fuo Zhaoxia. The court delivered the subpoena to Chen Zhili in person on February 8.
Chen Zhili has actively applied Jiang's policy of
suppressing Falun Gong during her term as Minister of Education. She enforced
the propaganda of slandering Falun Gong in the educational system, from
elementary schools to colleges, forced students to sign their names against
Falun Gong, and poisoned the minds of Chinese youth. Under the persecutory
policies, in 2003 alone, there were at least 435 practitioners from 210 universities
or colleges forcibly sent to brainwash classes, forced labor camps or even psychiatric
hospitals, where they underwent brutal persecution. According to unofficial
sources, as of January 29,
2006, nearly 150 teachers and students were persecuted to death in
China. Such cases were scattered throughout the country.
