2021 - Vancouver - Falun Gong Protest
Vancouver Falun Gong practitioners often gather at the Vancouver Art Gallery north plaza for speeches and to protest persecution in China.
It has been 20 years since the Chinese government branded Falun Gong as a cult.
The persecution of Falun Gong is the anti-religious campaign initiated in 1999 by the Communist Party of China to eliminate the spiritual practice of Falun Gong in China.
China maintains a doctrine of state atheism.
Falun Gong practitioners who were imprisoned in China's detention centres and labour camps report undergoing unexplained medical examinations and blood tests as a precursor to live organ harvesting.
Branded a heretical organization by Beijing, Falun Gong’s members are increasingly being harassed in Canada by Chinese diplomatic officials and other agents.
Beijing’s long arm can be seen influencing Canadian politicians at the local and national levels, as well as infiltrating civil society and community events to keep an eye on practitioners.
