(Clearwisdom.net) At around noontime on October 27, dozens of practitioners in the Greater New York area gathered at the Chinese Consulate to read the Falun Dafa Association statement urging all officials to stop the persecution, abandon the evil path and choose to be good.

Practitioners rally in front of Chinese Consulate to read the statement

Practitioner Weixun Li, who recently came to the U.S. with help from the U.S. government and non-governmental organizations, recounted the persecution from which her family has suffered. While locked in a detention center, Li was subjected to endless torture and mental abuse, her limbs were held in place and she had unknown itchy blotches all over her body. Later, she fell into a coma and the hospital issued a death alert. To shun responsibility, the Shenyang 610 Office allowed her family to bail her out for medical treatment. Li said: "Though I am free now, my brother, a non-practitioner, has been sentenced to eight years in prison for rescuing me and other practitioners. He is now suffering in Dabei prison. We are here to call for their release."

The statement solemnly stated: Ever since the publication of the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, Chinese people have more clearly recognized the nature of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the evil nature of the persecution. More than 4.8 million have withdrawn from the CCP and its related organizations. Heaven's destruction of the CCP is a historical inevitability. Gods must punish those criminals who have sinned against Falun Dafa. Those who refuse to do the right thing and instead continue to follow Jiang Zemin's scoundrel regime's persecution policies will be severely punished as perpetrators of unforgivable crimes.

At this critical historical moment, the Falun Dafa Association has made a special announcement: From today on, overseas Falun Gong practitioners will file civil or criminal lawsuits against all important government or CCP officials who participate in or continue to implement the persecution of Falun Gong, and as a result commit new crimes in addition to those they have already perpetrated against Falun Gong.

Practitioner Rong Yi said: Guangdong Governor Huang Huahua was sued when he just started his commercial visit to Canada, and he is the first CCP official sued for persecution after the statement was published. On October 20, Falun Gong practitioner Kevin Duan, who was brutally persecuted in a forced labor camp and brainwashing sessions in Guangzhou, filed a lawsuit charging Huang for persecuting him and other practitioners. On the afternoon of October 18, lawsuit papers and related letters against Huang, who was to visit Washington DC, were delivered to U.S. Departments of Justice and Homeland Security.

Reportedly, since the statement was published, several human rights group and a number of individuals have launched a global monitoring and tracking system in nearly 300 cities in more than 70 countries. The goal of the system is to monitor and keep track of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and Chinese government officials who are actively involved in the persecution of Falun Gong, so as to assist victims in pursuing legal actions in a timely manner.

The WOIPFG expressed that it urges those who are willing to change their behavior and correct their mistakes to send their statements or letters of regret through safe channels to the Minghui/Clearwisdom website. The organization also warned those who continue to persecute Falun Gong not to underestimate people's determination and ability to bring the perpetrators to justice.
