This document presents interim results from WOIPFG's investigation into Chinese officials' unlawful activities in extending China's crackdown on Falun Gong to Canadian soil. To date, confirmed reports paint a picture of discreet surveillance, hate incitement, diplomatic pressure, and physical assault. As the investigation continues, WOIPFG will continue to collect information and evidence.
The case reports in these pages address only activities directly attributable to Chinese envoys in Canada. They do not address incidents with no established link to Chinese officials (such as anti-Falun Gong literature appearing mysteriously in libraries and restaurants) or incidents of discrimination and harassment stemming from misinformation propagated by Chinese officials. Also not included are actions of Chinese officials abroad against Falun Gong practitioners in Canada (such as disabling Falun Gong web sites) and the arbitrary arrest, beatings, and deportation of Canadian citizens in China.
Even so, the incidents in this report are numerous and varied. They present compelling reason to believe that Chinese diplomatic and consular staff in Canada are actively -- and in some respects, clandestinely -- exporting the Chinese government's persecution of Falun Gong to Canada, in direct violation of Canadian laws and standards.
The purpose of this document is to expose these damaging actions, so that they may cease, and to support Canadian authorities' efforts to address this issue through diplomatic and legal means.
