Anastasia Lin: Beauty in the face of TyrannyMedical Care in Communist China:

Please join us in welcoming Anastasia Lin to the University of California San Diego. is an award-winning actress, beauty pageant titleholder, and human rights advocate. In 2015, Lin won the Miss World Canada title, and was to represent Canada at the Miss World pageant in China. However, she was refused a visa and declared a persona non grata by Chinese authorities for her outspoken views on the country’s human rights violations and persecution of Falun Gong practitioners. The news of her rejection—and subsequent attempt to enter China—caused global media attention for weeks, leading to a front page article in The New York Times and op-eds in major newspapers. Since then, she has been invited to speak at the National Press Club in Washington, DC, the Oxford Union, and the Geneva Human Rights Summit at the UN, Oslo Freedom Forum and has testified in the US Congress, the UK Parliament, and the Taiwanese Legislative Assembly. She is here today to speak about the ongoing medical atrocities occurring in China and the downfalls of socialized medicine.

Please RSVP to ensure enough refreshments for all.
