Letter to the Editor of Danish Newspaper "Berlingske Tidende" - "The Criminal Jiang Zemin"
4th September 2003
The newspaper "Berlingske Tidende" in Denmark published a letter
written by one of its readers. Here is an English translation.
Marco Hsu's debatable letter "Four Years of Persecution" in
Berlingske Tidende on the August 11, 2003, describes China's former state leader
Jiang Zemin's Genocide, torture and human rights crimes against Falun Gong
practitioners. However, what is even more critical is that Jiang Zemin and his
gang are persecuting humans with high moral principles: Truth, Compassion, and
Tolerance.
Jiang Zemin's crimes are not just violations against Falun Gong. His
persecution of Falun Gong is just a sign-- just like miners carrying a canary
into the mine shaft to warn them about the lack of oxygen. Jiang Zemin's crimes
are a threat to all Chinese people, because they destroy the moral standards
that are the base of a stable society. At the same time, they are also a threat
to our own legal rights. China is a superpower with influence extending far
beyond its own borders. We saw this for ourselves in Denmark during the ASEM
(Asian-European) summit in September 2002, when the authorities were excessively
anxiousness to please the "noble" visitors from China.
China must obey international laws. Traditionally, this finds its place in
the so called "Critical Dialogues" - that is dialogues with Danish
diplomats behind closed doors calling attention to the Human Rights violations
in China, while the Chinese listen with uninterested faces. However, nothing
happens outside this closed door. Therefore, triggering the attention of the
general public becomes very necessary. Here nothing is better than a lawsuit
because lawsuits awaken media attention. In Brussels, on Wednesday August 20,
2003, Falun Gong practitioners succeeded in filing a lawsuit against Jiang Zemin.
Maybe it will also succeed in breaking down the obstacle that stops us taking
Jiang Zemin to court in Denmark. Previously, lawsuits against him have been
raised in the United States, Switzerland, France, and at the United Nations.
Denmark must also keep its options open.
