(Clearwisdom.net) Whereas, testimonies by many victims from different countries who have been personally persecuted in China, reports from the UN Human Rights Commission Working Groups, reports from Human Rights organizations etc. have all proved without doubt that the on-going persecution of Falun Gong in China instigated by Jiang Zemin has caused the killing, torturing, illegal detention of numerous Falun Gong practitioners;
Whereas, according to the International Convention against Torture and the International Convention against Genocide, all countries have the responsibility of bringing those who have committed such crimes to justice;
Whereas, according to Irish law if any behavior happening abroad has harmed Irish people's life in Ireland, then the persons committing such behavior can be sued in an Irish court;
Whereas, Irish citizens and residents have suffered from the persecution personally;
Whereas, Jiang Zemin's regime has extended the persecution to Ireland and has harmed Irish people's lives. After the persecution started, two cases of Irish Falun Gong practitioners' homes in Ireland being ransacked and carefully searched have happened, but there were no cash or expensive things stolen. Obviously no ordinary thieves would do this;
Whereas, lawsuits based on national law and international law suing Jiang Zemin for crimes of torture, genocide and crimes against humanity are being prepared, have been filed or being reviewed by courts in countries all over the world including United States, Belgium, Spain, France, Germany, UK, Australia etc;
