"If you look at the [lawsuit] against Shen Yun, and if you were to replace all of the words 'Falun Gong' with the word 'Christian' or 'Catholic,' it would be completely unremarkable the activities that they're complaining about.”

“Fundamentally, the things that they are complaining about and calling ‘human trafficking’ are volunteering for your religious organization, attending a religious boarding school—things that happen in hundreds of thousands of religious communities all across the United States every day.”

“But here the Chinese Communist Party's ideas are getting out there that, well, when the Falun Gong does it, something's wrong with it.”

Religious freedom lawyers Lea Patterson and Justin Butterfield explain a recent lawsuit against Shen Yun, the performing arts group founded by Falun Gong practitioners in America.

The company has faced an unprecedented onslaught of threats, lawfare, and disinformation in the past year and a half.

Shen Yun has long drawn the ire of the CCP for exposing the regime's persecution of Falun Gong practitioners and performing around the world with the tagline "China before communism."
