Ottawa, Canada: Chinese Embassy Tries to Block Protests during Hu Jintao's State Visit (Photos)

(Clearwisdom.net) On the afternoon of June 23, Chinese President Hu Jintao and his delegation arrived in Ottawa for a 2-day visit. In order to ensure that Hu would not see Falun Gong practitioners peacefully protesting the eleven-year persecution of Falun Gong, and other protest groups, the Chinese Embassy made a series arrangements. They hired large numbers of Chinese students to welcome Hu, used Chinese Communist Party (CCP) flags to block Falun Gong practitioners' banners, and occupied the protest spots assigned to Falun Gong. They also paid to have a temporary wooden wall erected outside the main entrance of the hotel where Hu was staying, so that Hu would not see the protests from inside the hotel. In addition, CCP agents took photos of practitioners and harassed them at their protest site. They even went so far as to cancel Hu's press conference.
