Anastasia Lin
Miss World Canada was barred from entering China yesterday to take part in this year’s pageant in the southern island province of Hainan, a friend of the outspoken Chinese-Canadian contestant said.
Anastasia Lin was prevented from boarding her connecting flight in Hong Kong, Caylan Ford said in an email. She said authorities gave no reason.
Lin is an outspoken critic of Chinese religious policy and a follower of the Falun Gong meditation sect, which was outlawed by China’s ruling Communist Party as an “evil cult” in 1999. Lin was believed to still be in Hong Kong but was not immediately available for comment.
