       On the afternoon of Nov.20, 2001, 35 foreign nationals created disturbances in Tian’anmen Square by their illegal unfurling banners bearing slogans of Falun Gong, an evil cult banned by the Chinese government. The local police took them away as their activities had violated Chinese laws governing parades, demonstrations and relevant regulations on the banning of cults. All of the 35 foreign nationals were given humanitarian treatment and ordered to leave China within a set time.
       Foreigners should abide by Chinese laws while in China. Any illegal acts are subject to due punishment in accordance with law. Some Canadian Falun Gong practitioners as Zenon Dolnyckj had violated Chinese laws when they were in China. Instead of showing repentance for their wrong-doings, they are repeatedly defaming and attacking the Chinese government by making fabricated stories. We express our utmost indignation towards those slanderous and irresponsible remarks.
       As is known to all, Falun Gong is an evil cult outlawed by the Chinese government according to the law. More than 1,700 people have died and many families have broken up as the result of practicing Falun Gong. In order to protect the fundamental human rights of all citizens, the Chinese government took resolute actions to ban this cult organization two years ago. Since then, Falun Gong has been repudiated by more and more people. Having lost moral ground and the support of the general public, Falun Gong now resorts to making disturbances and relying on the so-called “international support” in order to save its doomed destiny. As always, evil schemes will come to no good end.
