It was about 5:30 in the morning when Raymond Zhang’s meditation in a hut outside the Vancouver Chinese consulate was violently interrupted.
Three men approached on foot and began to tear down signs and a banner from the consulate fence. They then put a gun to Zhang’s head, pulled the trigger repeatedly and started to punch him in the face and head.
“The gun was pointed at my left temple,” said Zhang. “The guy pulled the trigger constantly and yelled ‘Get way from here! Don’t stay here!’”
The other two men joined in the assault, kicking holes in the side of the hut and punching and kicking Zhang in the stomach and head. The attack left Zhang, 33, with a fractured bone on the left side of his face, internal bleeding, and bruising.
According to Zhang, the men were all Asian, and Falun Dafa Association of Canada (FDAC) spokesperson Sue Zhang says there’s no doubt that the “cowardly act” was instigated by the communist regime in Beijing through the Vancouver Chinese consulate. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) instigated a crackdown on Falun Gong in 1999, and has since been conducting a large-scale persecution of practitioners in China, says Zhang.
