(Clearwisdom.net) On January 26, 2005, Australia Day, the Banktown city
government held an award ceremony in a park for citizens who had been nominated
as "2004 Citizen of the Year." Falun Gong practitioner and painter
Zhang Cuiying was nominated for her excellence in painting, richness in
compassion and the contribution to human rights and freedom of belief. For
calling on the Chinese communist party to stop the persecution of Falun Gong,
Ms. Zhang was detained for 8 months in a Mainland prison, where she went through
all kinds of torture.

On September 15, 2004, Ms. Zhang Cuiying filed a lawsuit against the former
Chinese leader Jiang Zemin and the 610
Office for genocide, torture, and crimes against humanity. The case was
accepted by the Supreme Court of New South Wales, Australia, and the two
defendants were ordered to appear in court on December 10, 2004. During the
ceremony, city officials and other participants expressed their support for the
lawsuit. Zhang is using her own experience in China as evidence of the lawsuit.
Two weeks ago, Ms. Zhang and other practitioners held an anti-torture exhibition
in local art museum to demonstrate some of the torture methods used in China to
force practitioners to denounce Falun Gong.
Ms. Zhang told participants of the award ceremony that the Supreme Court will
issue its second order to summon Jiang Zemin and the 610 Office to appear in
court in February. An official who knows the truth of the persecution said:
"The lawsuit in democratic Australia against Jiang Zemin and other Chinese
officials who have committed genocide and crimes against humanity should be
supported, I hope that the lawsuit will succeed and the persecution will soon be
ended."
