Indonesian Falun Dafa Association Sues Chinese Embassy in Jakarta (photos)
By Indonesian Practitioners
JAKARTA, April 25 - A group of Indonesian Falun Gong practitioners on
Thursday filed a lawsuit through their attorney Adi Warman at South Jakarta
District Court against the Chinese embassy in Jakarta. The charges include: the
Chinese embassy had interfered with the experience sharing conference hosted by
the Indonesian Falun Dafa Association on March 2 and 3 and forced themselves
into the conference room; the Chinese embassy also sent letters slandering Falun
Dafa to the Indonesian Foreign Minister, President, Minister of Politics and
Social Affairs, Attorney General and Governor of Jakarta Province with
fabricated charges that resulted in the cancellation of a legitimate parade and
letter forming activities arranged for experience sharing conference. On April 25, about 20 practitioners came to the district court to support the
lawsuit. Practitioners sent forth righteous thoughts and clarified the truth.
Attorney Adi Warman representing the plaintiffs explained the reason for the
lawsuit to seven TV stations and several newspapers. He stated that about 700
practitioners from over 12 countries came to attend the experience sharing
conference. The permit, which included the experience sharing conference,
parade, letter forming as well as other activities, was issued by police
headquarters. Due to intervention from the Chinese embassy, the parade and
letter forming activities as well as other subsequent activities were cancelled.
The Chinese embassy also sent people to follow and videotape Falun Gong
practitioners' activities during the experience sharing conference. The March 2nd
parade was forced to halt. The behavior of Chinese embassy not only interfered
with Falun Gong activities but also interfered with the affairs of the
Indonesian government and incited hatred against Falun Gong practitioners in
Indonesia. In the letter from the Chinese embassy to Indonesian Minister of Foreign
Affair, there was such a passage, "According to their activity schedule,
Falun Gong will hold even more serious political and provocative activities
tomorrow from morning to evening in the area around the fountain and
memorial." This fabrication clearly violated the law. Attorney Adi Warman stated, "Cultivating the cosmic principle of
Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance can only benefit society, without having any
detrimental effects. The Jiang regime persecutes Falun Gong in China, while on
foreign territory China interferes with Falun Gong activities through its
embassies and consulate generals. We are not the only ones suing the Chinese
embassy; practitioners in several countries are suing Chinese embassies and
consulate generals for interfering with practitioners' lives and Falun Gong
activities."
