Spreading the Web of Justice: "WOIPFG" in Action
(Clearwisdom.net) The suppression of Falun Gong that began in China in July 1999 may well be
the darkest and the largest scale persecution in human history. Facing this
persecution, a group of volunteers in North America concerned about human rights
formed an organization called the "World Organization to Investigate the
Persecution of Falun Gong" (WOIPFG) in 2003. They declared, "The
mission of WOIPFG is to investigate the criminal conduct of all institutions,
organizations, and individuals involved in the persecution of Falun Gong; to
bring such investigations, no matter how long it takes, no matter how far and
deep we have to search, to full closure." Since then, this fledgling international NGO has finished almost 100
investigation reports and announcements. It has branches in North America,
Europe, Asia, and Australia. WOIPFG has held large conferences and related
activities jointly with dozens of other well-known international organizations,
and has submitted lists of criminals and the evidence of their crimes to the
Canadian and American governments. The people on these lists will be
investigated if they attempt to enter into Canada or America. They will
ultimately be brought to justice for their crimes against humanity. WOIPFG has
shocked high level CCP officials, who felt they could escape prosecution for
their atrocities unscathed. Investigation of Jiang Zemin, Luo Gan and Other High Level Officials
Responsible WOIPFG has conducted in depth investigation and evidence collection of Jiang
Zemin, Luo Gan, and Zeng Qinghong, the main instigators of the persecution.
According to a report entitled "Investigation Report on Jiang Zemin's Crime
of Genocide in the Persecution of Falun Gong" posted on January 30, Jiang
Zemin launched the large scale persecution against Falun Gong on July 20, 1999.
By exploiting the state's organizations, laws, policies, and the whole state
apparatus, Jiang has committed crimes against millions of innocent people, who
believe in "Truth, Compassion, and Tolerance," both inside and outside
China. According to Article 6 and Article 7 of the Rome Statute of the
International Criminal Court published on July 17, 1998, by the United Nations,
Jiang's persecution of Falun Gong practitioners has amounted to genocide and
crimes against humanity. The report mentions that the investigation shows that the suppression of
millions of people in Mainland China was solely the brainchild of Jiang Zemin.
The system of "610 Offices" set up by Jiang was conceived to
completely control all government activity related to Falun Gong, becoming Jiang
Zemin's personal command structure in persecuting Falun Gong. This
extra-judicial agency is all too similar to Nazi Germany's Gestapo. Jiang Zemin
himself and the "610 Office" are responsible for the murder,
deformity, torture, arrest, incarceration in forced labor camps, imprisonment,
fines and brainwashing that was forced on so many practitioners of Falun Gong. The reports also points out that Jiang Zemin is the greatest beneficiary in
maintaining the continuous persecution, because Jiang has directly obtained huge
personal and family power and fortunes from persecuting Falun Gong. WOIPFG will
fully investigate Jiang's family and the chief "610 Office" members'
large holdings of assets embezzled and stolen from the nation, including their
illegal business activities. It will urge the relevant foreign governments to
freeze and confiscate their illegally gained assets to return to the Chinese
people, including the Falun Gong practitioners who have been persecuted by them. Investigation on the People, Institutions and Organizations that Persecute
Falun Gong WOIPFG has been systematically investigating all the crimes committed in the
persecution of Falun Gong and the relevant individuals, institutions, and
organizations, including Jiang Zemin and the "610 Office." Those
responsible are directly led by Jiang, and include the National Security
Department, police departments, courts, forced labor camps, psychiatric
hospitals, and the media. These organizations have framed, slandered, and
smeared Falun Gong, directly or indirectly, and persecuted Falun Gong
practitioners and their families. The investigation into the Chinese Ministry of Education's persecution of
Falun Gong revealed that Chen Zhili, the former Minister of Education, took
advantage of her special relationship with Jiang Zemin and the power she thus
received to carry out Jiang's dirty work inside China's educational system. She
held numerous meetings to personally implement the persecution of Falun Gong.
She issued documents in the name of the Ministry of Education and carried out a
Cultural Revolution-like pledge at all school levels in China. She demanded that
everyone, ranging from faculty and staff members to students, speak out against
Falun Gong. She forced these people to watch slanderous propaganda movies and
launched the "Million Signature" campaign to force students to
participate in the persecution by having them sign petitions against Falun Gong.
She also directed the Ministry to incorporate anti-Falun Gong materials into
teaching materials, exam papers, college and graduate school entrance exams,
etc. She used the anti-Falun Gong programs produced by the Chinese Central TV
network ("CCTV") as study material in public schools to infuse
animosity into the minds of future teachers. There are at least 61 people who
were persecuted to death because they practiced Falun Gong while in the
education system. All this was launched by a handful of people. WOIPFG's report provided sufficient evidence to sue Chen Zhili for her crimes
in Tanzania. A summons to appear before the court was recently issued there. WOIPFG has also submitted lists of "alleged criminals," including
Jiang Zemin, and the evidence of their criminal activities to both the Canadian
and American governments. By the end of January 2004, WOIPFG had submitted to the RCMP a list of 45
participants, including CCP head officials Jiang Zemin, Luo Gan, Li Lanqing, Liu
Qi, Wang Maolin, directors and officers of "610 Offices," provincial
officials Bo Xilai and Wen Shizheng, Shenyang City Masanjia Forced Labor Camp
Official Su Jing, and Wanjia Forced Labor Camp Officer Shi Ying Bai, in the
persecution of Falun Gong with the evidence of their crimes. They are on the
RCMP watchlist. If they attempt to enter Canada, they will be investigated and
even sued for their crimes against humanity in Canadian courts. On March 9, 2004, WOIPFG submitted a list of 102 primary leaders in the
persecution of Falun Gong, including Jiang Zemin, Luo Gan, Liu Jing, Zhou
Yongkang, Li Lanqing, and Wang Maolin. It requested that the U.S. government
prohibit these people from entering the U.S. The U.S. Immigration and
Neutralization Code, Item 212(a)(2)(G), stipulates that foreign government
officials involved in violating freedoms of religion during the last two years
are not allowed to enter the United States, and this statute extends to their
family members and dependents. WOIPFG "Investigation Reports on the Persecution of Falun Gong (Part
One)" has been Published Through the hard work of dedicated volunteers in North America, Australia,
Europe, Asia, as well as China, where their lives are at risk, WOIPFG finished
and publicized nearly 100 investigation reports and notices in a period of one
year. Part One of the investigation reports collection was published in July
2004. The investigation reports show clearly that Jiang Zemin has forced most of
the Chinese people to agree and even to participate in the persecution of Falun
Gong by means of deception, instigating hatred, intimidation and seduction. He
turned the persecution, which was completely based on his personal will, of the
mainstream people in Chinese society into a nationwide movement. Attacks on and
suppression of Falun Gong practitioners who believe in "Truth, Compassion,
and Tolerance" has drawn the Chinese people into a trap in which they are
experiencing a catastrophic spiritual destruction. It should be pointed out that this persecution is not limited to Mainland
China, but has been extended to the world. The Chinese government has forced
some countries to give up justice, conscience, and ignore and indulge in this
unprecedented persecution of extermination. This is done through political
pressure, economic profit and cultural diplomacy. The fact that the UN Human
Rights Committee has failed to discuss and condemn China's human rights
condition for five continuous years has proved this point. The morality and
conscience on which human beings exist has been facing unprecedented challenges.
Those nations indulging and remaining silent will be considered accomplices in
this persecution by history. WOIPFG's Action Has Shocked the Head Officials of the CCP Committee WOIPFG has a substantial number of investigators and researchers in Mainland
China. Some investigators even come from high levels within the CCP committee
and the Public Security Bureau. It is said that there were family members of the
Seven Standing Committee members of the Politburo practicing Falun Gong before
Jiang instigated the suppression of Falun Gong. The other six committee members
were all against suppressing Falun Gong. There has been support for Falun Gong
among high officials of the CCP. This has been proven by the many
"insider" and "secret" documents present in WOIPFG reports.
It is also believed that this is associated with a strong desire to redress
Falun Gong among high-ranking CCP officials. Such action has truly frightened CCP officials who participated in the
persecution. It is said that quite a few Central Committee officials, provincial
officials, and city level officials dare not speak about Falun Gong publicly,
fearing this might be used against them. Some officials are even attempting to
destroy evidence of their participation in persecuting Falun Gong. Other high
officials dared not publicize news of visits to other countries, fearing
lawsuits overseas. However, Falun Gong has successfully sued many high level
officials during their overseas visits around the world. Some of the evidence
used is provided by WOIPFG. The most recent case is Bo Xilai, the Minister of
Commerce, who was sued in the US. According to Clearwisdom, WOIPFG publicized the investigation notice of
several chief perpetrators of Jilin City who persecuted practitioners. Local
practitioners then used the contents of this notice to expose the evil to the
local public. The notices from WOIPFG about the officials responsible for
persecuting practitioners in Jilin City were very effective locally. These
notices also included investigations of the head of the "610 Office,"
Liu Jing and the Minister of Education, Chen Zhili. After that, Chen Fuchun,
deputy Party Secretary of Jilin City Political and Judicial Committee and
director of "610 Office," a target of WOIPFG's investigation, was
removed from the committee and the "610 Office." Some time later,
because of the WOIPFG investigation, Liu Xinyuan, the notorious bureau chief of
the Jilin City Police Department, was removed from his post. Gang Zhanbiao,
mayor of Jilin City was also forced to resign. Future Operations of WOIPFG It was announced that WOIPFG is in the process of setting up a worldwide
"monitoring net" to track the foreign movements of officials at
various levels of the government who were sued for participating in the
persecution of Falun Gong. This will ensure that necessary legal action is taken
when they leave China and enter other countries. This is definitely a lethal
attack against those officials who have passports or visas from foreign
countries and who want to escape with large sums of money. Officials in some
areas have restrained their persecution of Falun Gong so as to leave a way out
for themselves. WOIPFG will present investigation reports to UN institutions, international
non-governmental organizations, international police, and international courts,
requesting the UN to establish a "special tribunal" to bring those
chief perpetrators and chief criminals to trial. It is also requesting
international police institutions to issue warrants to facilitate the arrest of
the chief perpetrators. WOIPFG will distribute investigation reports to relevant departments of all
governments and all embassies, including Chinese embassies in foreign countries
and request that they take necessary action. WOIPFG will distribute lists of people who have participated in the
persecution to secret police and immigration departments, requesting that they
bar the criminals from entering into their respective countries. It will also
present lists of forced labor products to labor departments, unions, and customs
officials, requesting that they prohibit the importation of these products. In the near future, people will see that the chief perpetrators and chief
criminals of this persecution are brought to justice. All the volunteers of
WOIPFG are working hard to speed up the coming of that day. As they have said,
"We have no other options in facing the most serious and the most
widespread persecution in history. We will go ahead without regret, facing the
Chinese people who have been cheated, deceived, coerced, and harmed."
