A former instructor at the China-linked Confucius Institute at McMaster University has filed a complaint with Ontario’s Human Rights Tribunal for alleged discrimination in hiring practices at the institute.

Sonia Zhao, a Chinese woman who came to Canada in 2010 to teach Chinese at McMaster’s Confucius Institute (CI), says she was required to sign a statement promising not to practice Falun Gong (also known as Falun Dafa) in order to obtain her position.
