Canada: Falun Gong Practitioners in Calgary Ask Canadian Government to Deny Entry to Huang Huahua

On October 17th, 2005, Falun Gong practitioners in Calgary, Canada held a press conference in front of the Chinese Consulate in Calgary, once again calling upon the Canadian government to bar entry to the current Guangdong Province Governor, Huang Huahua, who is about to visit Canada. Practitioners also urgently called upon the Canadian government to help rescue Kevin Duan's mother. After Mr. Duan recently made a speech at a press conference and testified to the CCP's brutal persecution of Falun Gong practitioners, his mother was arrested by Guangdong police and her current whereabouts are unknown.

Falun Gong practitioners hold press conference in front of Chinese Consulate in Calgary	Kevin Duan recounts his mother's abduction

Kailan, the spokesperson for the Calgary Falun Gong practitioners, stated that as of today, it has been verified that 64 Falun Gong practitioners have died as a result of persecution in Guangdong Province, making Guangdong one of the deadliest provinces in the persecution. Huang Huahua, who is in charge of the persecution of Falun Gong in his Province, should take responsibility. Kailan said that according to Canadian law, we request that the joint action group of "Canadian's Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes Programme" refuse to issue an entry visa to Huang Huahua.

Kailan also said that on the same day that Kevin Duan testified, his mother in China was followed and abducted by local police, and then lost contact with the family. Kailan asked that the Canadian Falun Dafa Association pay attention to this, and called on the Canadian government to help rescue Kevin Duan's family members who are in great danger.

Kevin pointed out that he suffered vicious beatings and slave labour during his illegal detention for practising Falun Gong. Huang Huahua, who is in charge of the persecution of Falun Gong in Guangdong Province, once inspected in person Division No. 2 of the Special Division for Falun Gong Practitioners at Guangzhou City No. 1 Forced Labour Camp where he was being detained then. After his inspection, the forced labour camp authorities conducted more severe and systematic persecution of Falun Gong practitioners mentally and physically.

When introducing his mother's arrest, Mr. Duan said that at 7:00 p.m. on October 14th, his mother and 13-year-old nieces went to Xinhua Bookstore. Outside the bookstore, the police followed them and took his mother to the Zhongqu Police Station of Daliang Town, Shuande with an excuse of "checking her residential record." Several police officers interrogated his mother, asking her, "Where are your children now?" "Do you know the Nine Commentaries?" and other questions. They also forced his mother to leave her fingerprints. His mother was then released, but shortly after, she lost contact with the family.

The arrest of Duan's mother took place shortly after Kevin Duan testified at a press conference in which Falun Dafa Association called for denying entry to Huang Huahua. Kevin believes that the involvement of CCP's spies overseas may be one of the reasons for his mother's abduction. The purpose is to put pressure on him.

Regarding his mother's plight, Kevin Duan expressed that he was very worried about the situation of his mother, who is in her 60s. But he also stated that he would not remain silent, but would continue calling upon the Canadian government to deny entry to Huang Huahua, who has committed crimes against humanity. Once Huang Huahua enters Canada, he will file a lawsuit against him based on Canadian law.
