According to an Epoch Times report, the most noticeable person in the Falun Gong parade in Geneva on March 17 2003, was the lady who held a box of ashes and walked in front of the parade. She is Jane (Zhizhen) Dai, a Falun Gong practitioner from Australia. She brought her two year-old daughter and her husbands ashes to Geneva and she persists in revealing the facts about the persecution of Falun Gong in China to people around the world. It is her second visit to Geneva and although she does not know whether she will have an opportunity to speak at the World Human Rights Convention, she still insists on telling the facts about how her husband was persecuted to death because he practised Falun Gong.
Last year, Jane Dai visited 26 countries with her daughter in the hope that by publicising her husbands death, more people can learn about the brutal persecution of Falun Gong practitioners by the Jiang regime. This would help to prevent other Falun Gong practitioners from suffering like her husband.
When reporters asked Jane why she travelled to different countries to tell people about her husbands death, Ms. Dai explained that it was to use her personal experiences to let people know that Falun Gong practitioners are good people and allow people to see through the lies concocted by the Chinese authorities to attack Falun Gong.
Jane said that she would continue what she is doing until the persecution of Falun Gong in China is finished. Because she exposed the true situation of the persecution against Falun Gong in China to people in other countries, her husbands sister, who is also a Falun Gong practitioner, was illegally sentenced to two years of forced labour in China. She was released some time ago, but her telephone is tapped, so Jane cannot contact her.
Janes husband, Mr. Chen Chengyong, went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong many times since the persecution began in July 1999. In November 2000, he left home to avoid being forcibly sent to a brainwashing centre. His body was found in a shed in July 2001. He died when he was only 34 years old.
After learning about her husbands death, Jane Dai could not get his ashes back for eight months, because the Chinese Embassy refused to issue her a visa to return to China so that she could collect them (Ms. Dai was an Australian citizen then). In the end, with the help of the Australian government, she got her husbands ashes back.
