Practitioners Welcome Hu Jintao's Visit to France and Ask that Jiang Zemin Be Brought to Justice (Clearwisdom.net) Chinese president Hu Jintao began a four-day visit to
France on January 26, 2004. Some international organizations in Paris hoped the
French government leaders would bring up the persecution of Falun Gong during
their meeting with Hu Jintao. Falun Gong practitioners welcomed Hu Jintao and at
the same time requested that Jiang Zemin, the head of the criminal persecution
of Falun Gong, be brought to justice. Mr. Wu, a Falun Gong practitioner from Europe discussed practitioners' plans
for Hu Jintao's visit to Paris. He said, "We plan to unfurl banners to welcome
Hu Jintao's visit to France and ask that Jiang Zemin be brought to justice. We
don't participate in politics. We are only asking for an end to the persecution
of our fellow practitioners. We are a cultivation group. Our goal is to see that
every Falun Gong practitioner in Mainland China enjoys the freedom to practice
Falun Gong. Jiang Zemin single-handedly directed this persecution, which has
deprived practitioners of such freedom." According to a report on Clearwisdom in December 2003, when Chinese premier
Wen Jiabao visited the U.S., Falun Gong practitioners unfurled two prominent
banners reading, "Welcome Wen Jiabao to the US," and "Bring Jiang Zemin to
Justice," which attracted much attention. Falun Gong practitioners said, "We
only oppose individuals who took part in the persecution, and we oppose Jiang's
illegal persecution of Falun Gong. During the past more than four years, we have
tried very hard to stop this persecution and our goal is very clear." On July 20, 1999, Jiang Zemin launched his persecution of Falun Gong,
bringing gross injustice and savage mistreatment upon millions of Falun Gong
practitioners over the last four years. At the same time, Jiang's group used the
media to spread slander to defame Falun Gong. It also abused its power to block
the truth, so that not only the public but also many government officials were
deceived. So far, Falun Gong practitioners in the U.S., Belgium, Spain, Germany,
Taiwan, Korea and other countries around the world have filed lawsuits against
Jiang Zemin and the "610 Office," charging him with genocide and other crimes.
Never have there been so many lawsuits filed against a single head of state
within such a short time. Falun Gong practitioners will investigate the
countless crimes Jiang and his accomplices have committed in persecuting Falun
Gong until justice prevails. Posting date: 1/28/2004 |
