“About last night”
By Ezra Levant on June 20, 2008 9:24 AM

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “I was deeply impressed with the presentation of Sheng Xue, a Chinese freedom activist, who read a touching poem about Tiananmen Square. But she didn’t just talk about that butchery; she gave many examples of current persecution of political dissidents, listing writers serving prison terms of up to 25 years for the crime of speaking out. Too many commentators have turned a blind eye to that tyranny, preferring to be dazzled by China’s economic growth, or the looming Olympics.

Xue didn’t just talk about persecution back home; she detailed the troubling phenomenon of Chinese agents in Canada issuing threats of violence against activists right here in Canada, like herself, who speak out against China’s bullying. That’s not just China’s shame — it’s to Canada’s discredit that we allow foreign agents to bring their own censorship into our country.”
