(Clearwisdom.net) On October 9th, 2005, the Falun Gong Association published an announcement. The RFI broadcast a related report in its Chinese program to China and Asian countries on the evening of October 9th. The following is an excerpt from the report.
The Falun Gong Association published an announcement that Falun Gong has filed international lawsuits in more than ten countries, including the U.S. and France, against Jiang Zemin and several of China's high-ranking officials, charging them with crimes of genocide in their persecution of Falun Gong.
Zhang Jianping, a French Falun Gong practitioner, made the following introduction: "It has been six years since Jiang Zemin tyrannically launched the persecution of Falun Gong. The methods used to persecute Falun Gong practitioners are violence and lies. The brutality and evilness of the persecution is unspeakable. It has been verified that nearly three thousand practitioners were persecuted to death, while hundreds of thousands of innocent practitioners were arrested and imprisoned in labor camps where they were subjected to brutal torture and brainwashing.
"The purpose of publishing the announcement is to warn those involved in the persecution: In the past six years, Falun Gong practitioners have filed international lawsuits in France, America, Canada, Spain, Australia and other countries, against Jiang Zemin and his dozens of accomplices for the persecution of Falun Gong.
"The announcement includes two points. For one thing, the announcement warns China's officials at all levels not to participate in the persecution of Falun Gong. Otherwise, if they travel abroad or if the unjust persecution of Falun Gong were reversed, they would be brought to justice. For another, if China's officials are determined to renounce the evil and join the camp of justice, they could write a letter to Falun Gong's Minghui.net or their local Falun Gong Association expressing their regret for their previous wrongdoing. Then we will place their letters on file, temporarily hold back the investigation into their criminal behaviors and wait to see if their regret is sincere."
