German Falun Gong Information Center: Wang Yunkun Sued in Karlsruhe for Genocide


June 3rd 2005

(Clearwisdom.net) A high-level Chinese trade delegation from multinational firms visited Germany between May 31 and June 4. The head of the delegation was the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Secretary Wang Yunkun from China's northeastern Jilin Province. While visiting Germany, Wang was charged with human rights violations in a German court.

On Thursday, June 2, the delegation visited the Volkswagen plant and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry Lueneburg-Wolfsburg, and on Friday they went to Degussa in Duesseldorf, Germany's third largest chemical company. Degussa is a company known to have been engaged in unethical business practices.

Wang Yunkun is one of the defendants in a complex lawsuit that charges the defendants with committing genocide, crimes against humanity and torture. The lawsuit was filed November 21st 2003 in the Karlsruhe Federal Court and is still under litigation.

Wang Yunkun, as the CCP Secretary, holds direct responsibility for the persecution of Falun Gong in Jilin Province, because the CCP Provincial Committees are in charge of the coordination and organization of this persecution.

On July 23, 1999, Wang Yunkun enthusiastically declared his support for the persecution campaign in an article published by the Chinese newspaper People's Daily just one day after the official order for the persecution of Falun Gong was publicized.

On November 14, 2001, Party Secretary Wang gave a speech during a seminar in Baishan, Jilin Province, during which he stressed the importance of the persecution against Falun Gong. He continued to affirm his support of the persecution at other public events.

Wang Yunkun personally participated in a number of brainwashing sessions and interrogation of Falun Gong practitioners, during which, inhuman measures and tortures were perpetrated. Such actions were meant to "re-educate" Falun Gong practitioners and force them to renounce the practice in writing. Since the beginning of the persecution, such torture has led to over 2,500 verified deaths of Falun Gong practitioners. However, those researching such activities believe the number of practitioners killed during the persecution to be much higher.

Further information about brainwashing is available from World Organization to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong, "The Destruction of Mind and Body Through Brainwashing" (http://www.zhuichaguoji.org/en/index2.php? option=content&task=view&id=60&pop=1&page=0).
