(Clearwisdom.net) On March 11, 2006, Falun Gong practitioners held a rally in Montreal's Chinatown to protest the secret concentration camp at Sujiatun. Police arrested a Chinese man who heckled and harassed the practitioners and knocked down an Epoch Times newspaper rack. The man cursed and yelled, threatening to kill practitioners.

Protesting the atrocities at the Sujiatun Concentration Camp

About fifty Falun Gong practitioners joined the rally, which began around 3:00 pm. The protest exposed the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP's) secret concentration camp in the Sujiatun area of Shenyang City, Liaoning Province. Practitioners' internal organs are harvested there and sold for profit while their bodies are cremated to destroy the evidence. Many Montrealers were shocked to learn the truth and lined up to sign up a petition asking for the Canadian government help to investigate and stop the killing.

A death threat

During the rally, a middle-aged Chinese man shouted death threats, vowing to kill all Falun Gong practitioners. He yelled in Mandarin, the native tongue of most of the protestors, and said, "The Chinese Communist Party killed a lot of people! So what?" He kicked down an Epoch Times newspaper rack at the corner of the park. A practitioner tried to calm him down and clarify the truth to him, but he only became more agitated and yelled louder. Another practitioner walked between them and asked the practitioner to leave him alone, to not give the man any market. The man reacted angrily and pushed the center practitioner who lost balance and fell forward.

The man continued to yell, curse and shout death threats. A few westerners passed by and expressed disapproval of his taunts. He followed them and cursed at them in Chinese.

An older Chinese man walked by, pointed to the man and said, "I see you are wrong. Look at these people (Falun Gong practitioners). Are you a spy hired by the Chinese Communist party?" The troublemaker cursed the man and called him a traitor to China. The old man said, "I can see you are being used by someone like a slave. You are nothing but a flunky." The man waved his fist and pointed at the old man, "If you continue to point at me, I will beat you."

Police arrive and arrest the troublemaker

Someone called the police, so the man ran away. After a while, he returned and resumed his troublemaking. A few minutes later, four police cars arrived and began to investigate. The man used fluent French to accuse practitioners of pushing him around. Someone had recorded what happened with a video camera, and many eyewitnesses provided information contradicting the man's lies. A policeman took the man to the police car to question him, and later took him away.

Other police officers asked the people at the rally if anyone knew the man. Nobody did. A practitioner suggested that the police ask the man to identify himself, but the police replied that he would probably not tell them his true name.

The practitioners explained to the police that the topic of the rally was to expose the atrocities at Sujiatun Concentration Camp. A policeman told the practitioners that they could ask local police to protect them.

The police said the troublemaker would be fined, and asked the practitioners to keep the evidence for later court use.

This affair caused a big stir in Chinatown. Several store owners said, "Falun Gong is powerful. The police came to protect you." Some people said they had begun to read Falun Gong books themselves.

A CCP spy?

Several practitioners recognized this man from earlier disturbances. He often turns up at Falun Gong activities to harass them. He curses, yells, pushes and drags practitioners.

A practitioner who came from China one year ago said the same troublemaker had harassed him many times while he was distributing truth clarification materials. He said, "His attack on Falun Gong is exactly the same as those from Communist Party. I have reason to believe he is a CCP spy assigned to interfere with Falun Gong activities."
