(Minghui.org) Practitioners held protests to expose the persecution of Falun Gong during Chinese Minister of Foreign Affairs Wang Yi’s visit in Ottawa, Canada on May 28 and 29, 2026.

They protested on Parliament Hill, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Prime Minister’s Office, the Chinese Embassy, and other locations. They wish to tell people about the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) 27-year-long persecution, and urge the Canadian government to help end, and not be complicit in, the regime’s transnational repression.

During his visit, Wang met Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Foreign Minister Anita Anand on May 29. Prior to the meeting, the Falun Dafa Association of Canada wrote to Anand, urging her to raise the issue of the CCP’s transnational repression and harassment of Canadian citizens’ family members in the meeting.

Canadian Foreign Minister Anand met with Wang at the GAC on May 29. Across the street from the building, Falun Gong practitioners held banners calling for an end to the persecution of Falun Gong and to transnational repression. After he left the meeting, Wang’s motorcade chose a route that had no banners and took a detour to reach the Prime Minister’s Office.

After Wang entered the Prime Minister’s Office building, Falun Gong practitioners unfurled banners near the motorcade. Someone removed the Chinese national flag affixed to Wang’s vehicle. The car and another vehicle departed the building, circled the entire building, and stopped at the rear entrance. Falun Gong practitioners holding banners stood at the rear entrance.

That afternoon, having concluded his meeting with the Canadian Prime Minister, Wang quickly exited the building through the rear entrance and entered his vehicle. As his motorcade passed practitioners lining the route, they called out, “Stop the persecution of Falun Gong!”

People Express Their Support

Het thanked practitioners for exposing the persecution

Het from Scarborough, a district of Toronto, watched the practitioners’ rally on Parliament Hill, and said he’s previously seen practitioners do the exercises and he likes Falun Gong. He thanked practitioners for their efforts to raise awareness of the persecution. He said the CCP needs to listen to the public instead of ignoring them.

Three women visited Parliament Hill for sightseeing. One of the women, a resident of Ottawa, said she’s aware of the CCP’s transnational repression. “I saw reports in the news that the CCP secretly established more than a dozen police stations here in Canada,” she said. “It’s hard to imagine the Canadian government has actually tacitly allowed this to happen because doing so poses a threat to Canadians.”

Another woman said she watched Shen Yun in Mississauga, “It was absolutely beautiful—it’s unforgettable to me to this day. I invited my friends to see it, and they all loved it.” When she heard that the Four Seasons Center in Toronto canceled six Shen Yun performances due to a bomb threat, she could not understand why the Canadian government hadn’t done something about this. She said the CCP’s transnational repression should be stopped immediately. She said she hopes the practitioners’ activities on Parliament Hill have an impact.

A woman passing by Parliament Hill said this was her first time learning about Falun Gong and the persecution by the CCP. She was glad to hear the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and the benefits of Falun Gong. She supported practitioners and wished the persecution would come to an end.

A man said that his father immigrated to Canada from Hong Kong, so he was acutely aware of the CCP’s persecution of Falun Gong practitioners, and the CCP’s vicious nature. He occasionally saw practitioners’ activities that raised awareness of the situation. He encouraged them and said such efforts are very important.

Practitioners tell people about the CCP.

Protecting Freedom in Canada

Dean Baxendale from Optimum Publishing International.

Dean Baxendale, President of Optimum Publishing International, listened to the protest at Parliament Hill on May 28. He said the CCP’s transnational repression is happening every day in Canada.

Baxendale attended a Shen Yun performance on April 4 at the Four Seasons Center for the Performing Arts in Toronto; however, the theater subsequently canceled all the remaining performances after they received a bomb threat. Thanks to the efforts of Shen Yun organizers, the theater decided to reschedule the performances for late June.

Baxendale said the CCP’s interference with Shen Yun serves as a clear illustration of its ongoing transnational repression campaigns.

Legal advisor Joel Etienne spoke during a press conference on May 28.

Referring to the CCP’s interference with Shen Yun in Canada, attorney Joel Etienne said in a press conference on May 28 that young performers do not know, before they step on the stage, whether they will face harassment, bomb threats, or venue cancellations. This is unfair.

He added that some of these criminal acts originate overseas but are ultimately executed on Canadian soil. It is an opaque, indirect method of infringing upon the rights of Canadians.
