Stockholm International Conference on "Genocide in the New Era"(Part 3) (Photos)

(Clearwisdom.net, February 9, 2004) On January 28, 2004, the International Conference on "Genocide in the New Era" reached its third day, which was the final session of the conference. In the morning, renowned Canadian lawyer Mr. Clive Ansley's speech entitled "A Chinese Court is Not a Court" was warmly welcomed and respected by many of the participants. Mr. Ansley is accomplished in Chinese and Canadian law. During the speech, he used pictures and articles to analyze the current status of the Chinese legal system and the persecution of Falun Gong. He was followed by a speech from the President of the International Advocates for Justice, Mr. Zhang Erping. Mr. Zhang raised the topic of whether the law is greater than authoritative power or power is greater than the law through his experience of working for the Chinese Government in the past.

Later on, two Falun Gong practitioners who have been subject to torture and abuse in Chinese labor camps, Mr. Zhao Ming and Ms. Zhang Cuiying, talked about the persecution of Falun Gong using their personal experiences.

Finally, Mr. Zhang Erping represented the organizers of the conference to give a closing speech. In the speech, he emphasized that taking measures to prevent and stop the crime of genocide should become the duty and responsibility of all of the non-governmental organizations, human rights lawyers and people who had attended this conference.
