Atlanta Antifa terror suspect worked as a production assistant for CNN and is daughter of UK Foreign Office consultant and New Jersey-based Chinese pharma tycoon

An Antifa terror suspect who is part of the Atlanta cell is the 
daughter of a New Jersey-based Pharma China and a global diversity 
expert, DailyMail.com can reveal.

Teresa Yue Shen, 31, was one of seven activists arrested at the future 
$90million Atlanta Public Safety Training Centre in a 'clearing 
operation' on last week.

Mental health consultant Shen traveled from Brooklyn to Atlanta to 
protest the creation of 'cop city' – which has sparked violent clashes 
after a protestor was shot dead after allegedly shooting a Georgia 
State Police officer.

DailyMail.com can reveal that both of her parents are high-flying 
businesspeople, with her father running a New Jersey-based Chinese 
media company and her mother a former British Foreign Office 
consultant.

Shen was arrested alongside Sarah Wasilewski, 35, Spencer Liberto, 29, 
Matt Macar, 30, along with Geoffrey Parson, 20, of Baltimore, TImothy 
Murphy, 25, of Maine, and Christopher Reynolds, 31, of Ohio.

She was charged with domestic terrorism and aggravated assault of an 
officer, and was previously arrested during an anti-ICE demonstration 
at the Bergen County Jail in 2021.

Her father, James Shen, 58, is the president of publisher WiCON – which 
owns Pharma China - and brags about its links to the 'most 
multinational pharma companies' across China.

He claims to come from a 'family with generations of ties with the 
pharmaceutical industry in China' and described himself as a 
'strategist, advisor and publisher' specializing in China Healthcare.

Shen herself appears to have followed in her father's footsteps 
initially, interning at both Reuters and CNN – with the latter refusing 
to report n the clashes after the 'conflict of interest' was revealed.

She grew up in the three-bedroom $810k family home in Princetown, New 
Jersey, before moving to a one bed $500k Brooklyn apartment.

Her mother Xiao-Hua Shen was one of the first group of university 
scholarship students sent by the Chinese Government to study in the UK 
at Exeter University.

The 63-year-old is available to speak at events, and calls herself a 
'Global Diversity Expert' who has an 'in-depth knowledge' of how to do 
'successful business in China.'

She also worked as a trainer and consultant in London, for Lloyds of 
London and the British Foreign Office.

Her website claims while at the foreign government she taught diplomats 
about the Chinese language and culture – to prepare for negotiation 
with China.

Xiao-Hua holds both an MA from Exeter University, UK and a Master of 
Education from Columbia University.

Mr and Mrs Shen did not respond to a request for comment by 
DailyMail.com.

Since June 2021, Antifa and other far-left extremists from across the 
US have occupied the area to prevent the construction of what they've 
dubbed 'cop city.'

It comes after Manuel Esteban Paez Teran, 26, was shot dead after 
allegedly opening fire at a Georgia State Patrol trooper during a 
'clearing operation'.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigations (GBI) said a Georgia State Patrol 
trooper was shot and severely injured during the raid by a man camped 
in the area. Officers returned fire and killed the gunman, who 
allegedly used a pistol.

During the multi-agency operation GBI said approximately 25 campsites 
were located and removed from the site.

Additionally, mortar style fireworks, multiple edged weapons, pellet 
rifles, gas masks, and a blow torch were recovered.

Three people contacted in connection with the materials were asked to 
provide their names to authorities and then let go.

Activists previously called for a 'Night of Rage' and bloodshed against 
the police following the shooting – threatening to enact 'reciprocal 
violence' against the authorities.

Six more protestors were arrested on Saturday, after setting fire to 
items during riots and being found with explosive devices. 

The protestors, who call themselves forest defenders, are claiming that 
the police have 'murdered' one of their own and are demanding 'action'.

In a statement posted on social media, the Scenes from the Atlanta 
Forest account said: 'A call for retaliation. Consider this a call for 
reciprocal violence to be done to the police and their allies.

'On Friday, January 20th, wherever you are, you are invited to 
participate in a night of rage in order to honor the memory of our 
fallen comrade.'

In several posts sweeping social media, they claim that the police are 
'lying' and 'refusing to release bodycam footage' of the incident.

They are also angrily rejecting claims that the protestor who was 
killed shot at police first, and even claim that the trooper was shot 
in 'friendly fire'.

Some 'anonymous' members of the Atlanta Forest Defenders appeared in an 
Open Society Foundations-sponsored story about the autonomous zone in 
The Guardian.

George Soros is the chairman of the OSF, and has given away more than 
$32billion of his personal fortune to fund the group.

Soros is one of the world's best-known philanthropists, and is also 
known for funding many of the woke district attorneys whose policies 
have been blamed for soaring violent crime across the US.

In May, eight militants were arrested after police patrolling the land 
were assaulted and pelted with rocks and Molotov cocktails.

Five people were arrested on December 13 for allegedly polotting terror 
attacks at the soon-to-be police academy.

Serena Hertel, 25, of California, Leonard Voiselle, 20, of Macon, 
Georgia, Nicholas Dean Olson, 25, of Bennington, Nebraska, Francis M. 
Carroll, 22, of Kennebunkport, Maine and Arieon Robinson, 21, of 
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, were arrested.

DailyMail.com previously revealed that Carroll is the son of surgeon Dr 
Mike Carroll and grew up in a $2million five-bedroom and four-bathroom 
mansion in Kennebunkport – as well as enjoying time on his parents' 
yacht.

Atlanta Police Department said Carroll was charged again on Saturday 
along with Nadja Geier, 24, from Nashville, Tennessee; Madeleine Feola, 
22, from Spokane, Washington; Ivan Ferguson, 23, from Nevada; Graham 
Evatt, 20, from Decatur, Georgia; and Emily Murphy 37, from Grosse Ile, 
Michigan. 

Left-wing groups used Twitter to fundraise bail for suspects after 
another six were arrested in August – charged with various crimes from 
burglary to criminal damage.

Members of the group tried to burn a man to death after he drove into 
the area, and he was forced to run for his life after they torched it 
with him still in it.

After their members were arrested the Defend the Atlanta Forest group 
held a protest outside of Dekalb County Jail and let off explosive 
fireworks.

The Atlanta Jail Support, a project of the Atlanta Solidarity Fund, 
also issued calls to fundraise bail money for the terror suspects using 
Twitter.

Convictions of domestic terrorism carry with it sentences of anywhere 
between five and 35 years in prison.
