Radio France International (RFI) broadcast the following report in Mandarin to Mainland China and the Mandarin-speaking area of Paris on July the 3rd 2004:

Three practitioners of the Falun Gong spiritual movement filed a lawsuit in Paris against Li Changchun. The group said Mr Li was the accomplice to crimes of torture against the group, which is outlawed in China. The group said Mr Li had called for the elimination of Falun Gong practitioners and supported torture while serving as Communist Party Secretary of Guangdong Province.

"Of China's thirty provinces, Guangdong ranks eighth in terms of deaths of Falun Gong practitioners from abuse in custody," says Zhang Jianping, Falun Gong contact person in Paris, "We hope the French government comes to realize that their important guest is actually implicated in the persecution of Falun Gong."

Falun Gong has been outlawed in China since 1999.
