I'll add something. The deceptiveness of the Chinese government has happened to me. When I first came to Canada, there was a newspaper article published in China that said I received humanitarian treatment in Chinese prison: “Even though Shenli Lin did not give up his ideas of Falun Gong, did not want to repent, did not even admit that he was wrong, we still treated him humanely.” The article said so.
If somebody who does not really know what has happened and reads this article, of course, they will believe it: that even though he did not want to repent, he was treated well. But this is exactly what happened to me, what I just told everybody here. People can be deceived.
So openly urging them I think has a better, stronger effect.
