Ms. An who immigrated to Canada from Shanghai five years ago said to the rally:

"I know the CCP very well and I personally witnessed its crimes. In fact, all Chinese people know how bad the Party is. However, many people have been terrified and traumatized by its brutality. They do not dare to speak out. When I was in China, I said that the CCP was so evil and we could only wait for its destruction. The Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party did a terrific job analyzing the Party."

Ms. An also expressed her admiration to Falun Gong practitioners as they dare to expose the crimes committed by the CCP despite the brutal persecution.

"Falun Gong practitioners in China have suffered so much; however, they persist. It is amazing." Read more at Clearwisdom.net
