At the beginning of March, Ms Zhang Cuiying, a well-known artist of traditional Chinese painting from Australia, held a two-day exhibition in the Polish capital. Ms Zhang displayed over fifty of her fine creations at a gallery in Warsaw. MP Paul Poslus made an opening speech at the exhibition. Ms Zhang talked to the audience about the history of her painting career. Moreover, she spoke about being put in prison on returning to China just for speaking out for Falun Gong; for eight months she suffered torture and brutality.
