Russia: Dafa Practitioners Hold a Press Conference to Make Public a Lawsuit Against the Prime Criminal of the Persecution (Photos) By a Russian practitioner
(Clearwisdom.net) On June 25, 2004, the eve of UN International Day in
Support of Victims of Torture, the Moscow Falun Dafa Association, together with
representatives of the World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of
Falun Gong and Falun Dafa practitioners from St. Petersburg, Irkutsk and other
areas, held a press conference at the Moscow Journalists Association to expose
the brutal and illegal persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China. The main purpose of this press conference was to make public that Russian
Falun Dafa practitioners are to file a lawsuit against Jiang Zemin in the
Russian courts on charges of torture, genocide and crimes against humanity. At the press conference, the Chairperson of the Moscow Falun Dafa Association
explained the popularity of Falun Gong in Russia, exposed the facts of the
persecution of Falun Gong in China and recounted the crimes committed by primary
culprit Jiang Zemin and other accomplices to suppress Falun Gong practitioners.
A representative from the St. Petersburg Falun Dafa Association revealed the
illegal activities conducted by the Chinese Consulate in St.Petersburg and
Irkutsk City and made public the lawsuit against a former Consul in St.
Petersburg, Chen Yichu. The representative from the World Organization to
Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong also provided a report on the
Organization's mission and the achievements of their investigation work in
various places around the world. A practitioner from Irkutsk City discussed
facts pertaining to the kidnapping and persecution of Irkutsk Falun Dafa
practitioners in China. Many people attended the press conference: Journalists from local newspapers
and television stations, representatives from the Russian Journalists
Association, the Moscow Helsinki Group, human rights organizations, the Union of
Moscow Universities and Falun Gong practitioners from various places. Photos of
Falun Gong practitioners being cruelly tortured in China were displayed. The
event was reported by a Moscow television station in a news program on its
national channel that evening. Source:
