Canada faces concerns over transnational repression and attacks

A doctoral student has raised concerns regarding transnational repression in Canada, specifically targeting Falun Gong practitioners and the Shen Yun Performing Arts group.

Following a recent incident near a Chinese consulate in Canada, an individual reportedly attacked a peaceful protester, causing injury and making death threats. The speaker highlighted that such violence is part of a broader pattern of intimidation extending beyond China's borders, affecting various groups including Uyghurs and Tibetans.

Additionally, the Shen Yun Performing Arts group has faced disruptions, including bomb threats in the Greater Toronto Area that led to the cancellation of several performances. The speaker urged Canadian authorities to investigate these incidents and called for the protection of democratic freedoms and rights against foreign interference.
