Ottawa - Falun Gong supporters are delivering petitions to Prime Minister Paul
Martin urging him to raise human rights issues when he meets China's president
in Ottawa next week. Followers of the Falun Gong spiritual discipline say their
colleagues in China are the victims of major persecution.
They say Martin should protest this treatment when he meets Chinese President Hu
Jintao, who will spend 10 days in Canada on a state visit.
Hu is to meet Martin and other cabinet ministers in Ottawa and will also travel
to Toronto, Niagara Falls and Vancouver.
Martin made a state visit to China last January.
Falun Gong supporters say Canada could make a difference if Martin stresses
human rights concerns in his meetings with Hu.
