Denmark: CCP Procurator General Jiang Chunwang Sued for Crimes of Torture (Photos)

(Clearwisdom.net) Renowned Denmark lawyer Tyge Trier filed a lawsuit on behalf of Falun Gong practitioners on Sunday August 28, 2005 against Jia Chunwang, procurator general of CCP Supreme People's Procuratorate and one of the central figures in China's Gestapo-like 610 Office -- for crimes contravening the UN Convention Against Torture. Jia Chunwang was sued the same day he arrived in Denmark to partake in an international conference for prosecutors being held in Copenhagen.

Tyge Trier, a well known human rights advocate, represents the Falun Gong practitioners in the lawsuit. Mr Trier told the press, "It's a serious case. What we hope will come out of it, is that there be a thorough investigation by the State Prosecutor, that Jia Chunwang will be questioned and that he be apprehended if that is necessary to keep him in the country while the case is investigated."

Defendant Jia Chunwang, deputy head of the 610 Office, has been directly responsible for illegal detention, torture and murder of Falun Gong practitioners in China since 1999. Also, while he was minister of public security from July 1999 to December 2002, Jia Chunwang organized, ordered and encouraged the large-scale arrest and torture of Falun Gong practitioners through the police force and the national system for public security. During his term in office, thousands of Falun Gong practitioners were tortured to death, at least 6,000 people were illegally sentenced to prison, and hundreds of thousands of people were sent to forced labor camps. Jia Chunwang has also spread lies and slandering propaganda against Falun Gong to attempt to justify his horrible crimes.

Plaintiffs filed the lawsuit on behalf of Falun Gong practitioners in China and around the world who have suffered tremendous tribulations during Jia Chunwang's term in power.

Among the plaintiffs is 19-year-old Liu Xiaotian, whose parents were tortured to death for practicing Falun Gong when Jia Chunwang was minister of public security. Yang Tianle, another plaintiff who currently resides in Esbjerg in Denmark, saw his family shattered by persecution when his mother was illegally sentenced to a three year prison term in harsh conditions.

The local Falun Dafa Association called for the Danish government to arrest Jia Chunwang, and bring him to justice.
