Asia Times: Falun Gong Legal Team Plans to Sue Jiang and Other High Ranking Chinese Officials in 11 Countries


(Translated from Chinese)

Asia Times reported on July 18: July 20 will mark the 5th anniversary of the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China. Several thousands Taiwan Falun Gong practitioners yesterday gathered at Taipei protesting the persecution.

17 lawyers from 4 continents have formed a legal team and the team is planning to sue 13 high ranking Mainland officials, including Jiang Zemin for persecution.

Taiwan Falun Gong practitioners yesterday rallied at the plaza of the Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall to commemorate the practitioners who have been persecuted to death and to stage an "Anti-Torture Exhibition" using real-life models to showcase the torture methods employed by Mainland police against Falun Gong practitioners.

Liu Binghua (Phonetic) said that not only have Mainland Falun Gong practitioners been persecuted, but also many Taiwanese Falun Gong practitioners who went to Mainland on business, to visit relatives or for sightseeing had been detained by Mainland police. Some Mainland brides who married Taiwanese citizens have been detained after going back to China to visit their relatives.

On behalf of the legal team, Taiwan lawyer Chu Wan-chi announced a statement which said that the team was planning to launch lawsuits in 11 countries against Jiang Zemin and other high-ranking officials responsible for the persecution. The statement said that the team would also file complaints with the UN Human Rights Commission and Anti-torture Commission against those perpetrators.
