(Clearwisdom.net)On August 30, 2004, when Jia Qinglin paid a visit to Austria, the Austrian Falun Dafa Association, the International Human Rights Association, the human rights organization, "Society For Threatened People", quite a lot of individuals, as well as Falun Gong practitioners who have been persecuted in Beijing, all got together and filed a lawsuit in the Vienna Inquisitorial Court charging Jia Qinglin's brutal persecution of Falun Gong practitioners and suing him for crimes of torture. Austria's leading media reported on the lawsuit.

On the day Jia Qinglin arrived in Austria, the news that he was being sued was published on the website of the Austrian Radio Station, claiming that Jia shouldered the main responsibility for the inhumane persecution against Falun Gong practitioners and furthermore giving notice that the Austrian Falun Dafa Association was to hold a press conference on this issue the following day.

On September the 1st, one of Austria's most important newspapers "The Standard" also reported about the lawsuit of Jia Qinglin on the day before he went to see the Austrian Premier and President. The article said that after Falun Gong was banned in China in 1999, hundreds and thousands of practitioners were detained and many of them tortured to death.
