By a practitioner in Vancouver

(Clearwisdom.net) At noon on July 3, 2007, Falun Gong practitioners in Vancouver held a press conference in front of the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office to protest Hong Kong for its use of a CCP blacklist to deny entry to and deport nearly one thousand Falun Gong practitioners.

Practitioner Chen Xueli handed over a letter to the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office and asked the office to transfer the letter to the Hong Kong government.

Ms. Chen said, "The Hong Kong government accepted the CCP's blacklist and denied entry to nearly one thousand Falun Gong practitioners. It openly trampled the Basic Law and showed to the whole world that freedom and human rights are endangered in Hong Kong."

Ms. Chen hopes that the government of Canada and other countries do not forget the CCP is a totalitarian regime when dealing with it. Thus in normal trade with China, these governments should pay attention to China's human rights and guarantee the basic rights of their own citizens. She reminded each government to pay attention to the tide of withdrawal from the CCP in China. Because the CCP regime will be discarded like other totalitarian regimes.

Several Falun Gong practitioners originally from Taiwan also participated in the protest. Ms. Liu disclosed that she was deported in 2002 when she went to Hong Kong from Taiwan, since her name was on the blacklist. She thinks that freedom and democracy in Hong Kong are illusions since the transfer of sovereignty.

Ms. Chen from Taiwan believes that Hong Kong's actions suggest that under the CCP's manipulation, Hong Kong does not wish to respect human rights or give people freedom.

Many residents noticed the information on the banner "Hong Kong, do not kowtow to communist regime" and asked for more information.

An 85-year-old western gentleman who had been to Hong Kong said that it was wrong for Hong Kong to set aside human rights.
