(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. |
