Professor Kunlun Zhang, a Canadian citizen and former visiting scholar at McGill University, came to the site of the symbolic trial. He was arrested four times in China and brutally tortured for not giving up his practice of Falun Gong.
Professor Zhang said in an interview: "For four years, Jiang Zemin has persecuted innocent Falun Gong practitioners who follow Truthfulness, Compassion, Tolerance. Jiang uses all torture methods of ancient times and from far away places in the persecution." He stated, "For Falun Gong practitioners, the persecution makes China a large prison. Currently, there is no opportunity to bring Jiang to justice in China. It is meaningful to hold a moral trial of Jiang in Canada to have more people know the facts of the persecution and get help to end the persecution."
The symbolic trial was based on numerous facts, witnesses and witness's statements. The "public prosecutor" revealed the how Jiang initiated the persecution and directed the 610 office's conduct of the physical, mental and economic persecution. In the end, Jiang was declared guilty.
In his ruling, the "judge" stated that the trial would be historical. People will understand that the brutal persecution of Falun Gong practitioners was driven by Jiang's jealousy, greed, dread, and hostility to spiritual beliefs. It was also noted that in the persecution, Falun Gong practitioners demonstrated candidness, kindness and steadiness, the most graceful characteristics of human nature.
A professor at Carleton University stated that he supported Falun Gong practitioners activities after viewing the symbolic trial. A student said, "It seems to me that Falun Gong is not involved in politics, but a cultivation practice. However, the practitioners in China are tortured and even killed. This persecution is too brutal. I cannot understand. I think a government should support its citizens 'freedom of belief."
On the site of the mock trial, several hundred students signed an appeal letter to support Professor Zhang's lawsuit against Jiang and his associates in Canada.
Similar trials were also held in other Canadian universities from east to west, including University of Victoria, University of Alberta, Laval University, and Concordia University.

(Clearwisdom.net) At noon on March 31, a unique symbolic trial of Jiang Zemin was held at the Simon Fraser University library. This event took place after the Students' Administrative Council (SAC) at the University of Toronto unanimously passed a resolution to reaffirm their support of Falun Gong, and to express their support for the global efforts to bring the main perpetrator in the persecution of Falun Gong--Jiang Zemin--to justice. Many universities around Canada also started to hold symbolic trials of Jiang Zemin, and supporting a postcard campaign for professor Zhang Kunlun's lawsuit against Jiang.
Through witness testimony, more people learned about the crimes against humanity, torture and genocide committed by Jiang and his "610 office" in the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners.
The trial was held during lunch break. Many students and professors watched the trial, read posters and took truth-clarifying materials. Some also took the initiative to sign postcards to support professor Zhang Kunlun's lawsuit against dictator Jiang. Many asked where the practice sites are and how to learn Falun Gong.

Falun Gong Practitioners Hold Symbolic Trial of Jiang Zemin at University of Alberta (Photos)
(Clearwisdom.net) At noon on March 30, as part of the national "Bring Jiang Zemin to Justice" campaign, the Falun Gong club at the University of Alberta held a symbolic trial of Jiang Zemin inside the busy Student Union building. The event site was well decorated, practitioners displayed a "Jiang Being Sued for Genocide" banner, photo evidence of Jiang's brutal persecution of Falun Gong as well as photos about Falun Dafa around the world. Many students and faculty members were attracted to the trial, and many of them signed a petition to show their support to sue Jiang Zemin.
Jiang Zemin is the chief criminal in the persecution of Falun Gong. Jiang ordered "Defame them [Falun Gong practitioners], bankrupt them financially and destroy them physically". Jiang ordered the use of the most brutal means to systematically murder and torture Falun Gong practitioners. Jiang has also been running campaigns in more than 60 countries overseas instigating hatred toward Falun Gong, and trampling on human morality and conscience. Jiang has committed unpardonable crimes against all Chinese and people around the world. Jiang has been currently sued for Genocide, torture and crimes against humanity in many nations. Moreover, more and more people have begun to try Jiang in their conscience. The human conscience is the ultimate court, the most righteous judge and the strongest fort of justice. The Justice from people's heart is the ultimate Justice.
