(Clearwisdom.net) On February 7, 2006, five Canadian Falun Gong practitioners who have worked or studied in the Chinese Educational System filed a lawsuit with the Supreme Court of British Columbia, against Chen Zhili, the visiting State Council Member of China. Chen Zhili, a diehard follower of former Chinese President Jiang Zemin, has been accused of the crime of Torture and Crimes Against Humanity. The court has delivered the subpoena to Chen. This is Chen's second time to be sued since July 19, 2004, when she was accused and summoned to the court in Tanzania for "committing crimes of torturing and killing Falun Gong practitioners in the Chinese education system."
The five Canadian practitioners suing Chen are Zhang Kunlun, Jin Rong, Liu Wenyu, Zhu Ying and Fuo Zhaoxia. The court delivered the subpoena to Chen Zhili in person on February 8.
Chen Zhili has actively applied Jiang's policy of suppressing Falun Gong during her term as Minister of Education. She enforced the propaganda of slandering Falun Gong in the educational system, from elementary schools to colleges, forced students to sign their names against Falun Gong, and poisoned the minds of Chinese youth. Under the persecutory policies, in 2003 alone, there were at least 435 practitioners from 210 universities or colleges forcibly sent to brainwash classes, forced labor camps or even psychiatric hospitals, where they underwent brutal persecution. According to unofficial sources, as of January 29, 2006, nearly 150 teachers and students were persecuted to death in China. Such cases were scattered throughout the country.
