(Clearwisdom.net) On June 20, 2005, Falun Gong practitioners rallied in front of Chinese embassy in Ottawa to strongly condemn the CCP for murdering Gao Rongrong and to demand the murders to be brought to justice. In May 2004, Ms. Gao' face was disfigured by continuous electric shocks for her belief in Falun Gong and dedication to clarifying the truth of Falun Gong to everyday people. Gao was tortured to death on June 16 2005 by the 610 office.

Ottawa practitioners rally in front of Chinese embassy to condemn the murder of Gao Rongrong
According to a report on the Minghui/Clearwisdom website, in May 2004, Longshan Forced Labor Camp in Shenyang City used electric batons to shock Falun Gong practitioner Gao Rongrong's face for more than 6 hours, resulting in severe disfigurement of her face. After photos of the abuse were publicized, Gao's case has received a lot of attention in the international community. Her case was also the first case study in the "2004 United Nations Human Rights Report on China's Persecution of Falun Gong." After the exposure, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) not only did not repent or stop, but instead became angry and carried on a more hidden and despicable persecution. On March 6 2005, CCP abducted and then detained Ms. Gao Rongrong again. Gao died on June 16 due to failure of internal organs. Before her death, news related to Gao had been tightly blocked.
One practitioner said: "The recent murder of Gao Rongrong and several other practitioners showed that although the persecution is being carried out more secretly than before, it is not any less cruel. Gao is the 2576th practitioner murdered by the CCP and she is also the 54th practitioner murdered in Shenyang city.
The three diplomats and security officers who have escaped to Australia confirmed that the persecution against Falun Gong is far more brutal than people's imagination. Chen Yonglin, who was a political affair consul at Sydney Consulate until his recent defection, said: "The materials regarding practitioners tortured to death are classified as state secret, materials of this regard are typically kept in secret as the CCP routinely charges murdered practitioners of committing suicide." At the same time, the three officials consistently pointed out that CCP has been extending the persecution to oversea. For example, Hao Fengjun, former Tianjin "610 office" official, revealed that CCP has deployed over 1000 spies in Canada to monitor Falun Gong. This spy claim has raised great concern from the Canada government and media.
Another practitioner confirmed that Canadian practitioners have been constantly harassed and monitored by spies. She also took the opportunity to call upon officials of Chinese embassy and consulates not to assist the CCP in the persecution. She said: "'610 Office' murders civilians in China and monitors and harasses overseas practitioners and many others. The crimes of the '610 Office' have been recently revealed to the public again and again. This tells us that CCP's antihuman crime against people's belief is approaching its doomed end. We hope more and more diplomatic officials who have been forced by the CCP to participate in the persecution will choose to denounce the persecution as Chen Yonglin did. It is time for good consciences to awaken, and you should choose to stand by justice so that you will have a good future.
