(Clearwisdom.net) April 2, 2006 was "Clean Montreal Day". Montreal Mayor Mr. Gérald Tremblay and several city officials visited Chungshan Park in Chinatown on that date. Falun Gong practitioners presented a letter to the Mayor asking for public awareness about the crimes of the Chinese Communist Party's Sujiatun Concentration Camp, where organs are harvested from live Falun Gong practitioners.

Mayor Tremblay accepts the letter from Falun Gong practitioners

According to a report from Kaiwen Yang of the World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG), in the following days after Sujiatun Concentration Camp was exposed, WOIPFG started an urgent nationwide investigation in China. The initial results showed that there are at least 36 similar concentration camps in Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Shangdong, Liaoning, Guangdong, Human and Hubei Provinces. The crime of removing organs from live Falun Gong practitioners is still happening there.

It was reported that Mayor Tremblay will visit Shanghai next week because Montreal and Shanghai are sister cities. Falun Gong practitioners presented the Mayor with the letter, hoping that he would learn of the inhuman crimes happening in China. The practitioners hope the Mayor will convey the contents of the letter to the Shanghai City government during his visit. Mayor Tremblay said he certainly would do so.

Falun Gong practitioners set up display boards and handed out truth-clarification flyers exposing the crimes in Sujiatun Concentration Camp, calling on the public to be aware of the atrocity and to help end the persecution of Falun Gong in China.

Many passersby learned of the situation in Sujiatun and were very angry about it. An immigrant from Cambodia, Kim, said to a Falun Gong practitioner, "The Communist Party is just too bad." He continued, "I support you. Your actions moved me. You must persist with your endeavor. Every time you have a signature drive, I come and write my name and address clearly."

Kim took the initiative to clarify the truth to passersby and led them to the practitioner with the signature collection form. Before he left, Kim said to a practitioner, "Be careful. A lot of Chinese students here are Communist Party spies."

Two policemen for local security were watching out for the practitioners. They left after 4:00 p.m. when most of the practitioners had left. A practitioner wanted to give them a flyer, but the policemen said they were on duty and couldn't accept them at that time. They already knew about Falun Gong and asked, "Do Chinese Communist Party spies harass you often? Next time, please call us and write down their license plate number. We will investigate. It is our responsibility."

On March 13, when Sujiatun Concentration Camp and the organ harvesting crimes were exposed, Falun Gong practitioners held a rally in Chungshan Park. A Chinese man tried to create a disturbance at the rally, but he police arrested and fined him.
