Two Montreal-area Chinese groups and their director have filed a lawsuit alleging the RCMP defamed them when officers said they were investigating clandestine Chinese government “police stations”operating out of their premises.

Lawyers for Chinese Family Services of Greater Montreal, the Centre Sino Québec de la Rive-Sud, in the suburb of Brossard, Que., and Xixi Li, the executive director of the two groups, said in a court filing Wednesday that the RCMP acted improperly when the force publicly revealed they were being investigated.
