Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to the witnesses for being with us. It is very interesting to talk about their personal experience.
Ms. Fung, you have been the target of intimidation yourself.
Mr. Chan, you say that you have not suffered intimidation.
The report of the Fundacion Safeguard Defenders, which Ms. Harth represents today, is entitled “110 Overseas: Chinese Transnational Policing Gone Wild.”
That report says that as part of an anti-fraud campaign, the People's Republic of China says it has persuaded 230,000 of its citizens, worldwide, between April 2021 and July 2022, to return to the People's Republic of China to face criminal prosecutions. We are talking here about 230,000 people, which really is an astronomical figure.
My question is for both you, Mr. Chan, and you, Ms. Fung.
Are there people in your organization whom you know and whose story you can tell, people who were here in Canada and were persuaded to return to China?
How is it done? Where there threats, emails? Can you tell us more about this?
