Jiang Forces China's "Two Courts" Reports to Attack Falun Gong Again; Five Former Political Bureau Standing Members Are Absent

(Clearwisdom.net) On the afternoon of March 3rd, the first conference of the tenth session of the Political Consultation Conference started and Li Guixian presented the work report on behalf of the standing committee of the national committee of the ninth session of the Political Consultation Conference. It is reported that the Chairman of the Political Consultation Conference Li Ruihuan forfeited his last opportunity to speak because statements supporting Jiang's suppression of Falun Gong were added to the work report.

On March 5, at the opening ceremony of the National People's Congress, in his last government work report and for the first time in 3 years, State Council Premier Zhu Rongji did not mention Falun Gong. Neither did Li Peng raise the Falun Gong issue in his last work report of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress on March 10, during the conference of the National People's Congress. It is reported that Jiang once cursed Zhu Rongji vehemently in private because of this, and that the panic he displayed was hard to understand.

According to a March 11^th report by the Xinhua News Agency, the fourth plenary session of the first conference of the tenth session of National People's Congress was held that morning in the Great Hall of the People. Xiao Yang, the President of the Supreme People's Court and Han Zhubin, the procurator-general of the Supreme People's Procuratorate presented work reports to the Congress. In their reports, these two chiefs of the "Two Courts" once again named Falun Gong as an object to attack.

When Jiang initially prepared to launch the large-scale suppression against Falun Gong, six of the seven members of the standing committee of the Political Bureau expressed their opposition. Today these members were not present to show their support, except for Hu Jintao who has no choice but to attend the conference.
