Falun Gong practitioners filed a petition against Jia to Ukraine Supreme Court in Kiev. Jia was Secretary of Chinese Communist Party Committee in Beijing and is now Chairman of the National Committee for Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference. The petition was filed by a practitioner from China.

To protest Jia’s persecution of Falun Gong, on October 27th Falun Gong practitioners in Kiev held an event opposite the Chinese Embassy. The protesters pointed out that Jia participated in the killing, torture and genocide of Falun Gong practitioners in China.

"This person is a true criminal! Both his hands are covered with practitioners’ blood. We wish that the Ukraine government would realise what kind person he is and not overlook human rights when facing commercial interests!"

Falun Gong practitioners held banners reading "Falun Dafa, Truth-Compassion-Tolerance" and "CCP forcefully harvests organs from living Falun Gong practitioners for profit". They also distributed flyers and demonstrated the Falun Gong exercises.

"Though the persecution of Falun Gong occurs in China, it interferes with me living in Ukraine. I often see the lies from the Chinese Embassy slandering Falun Gong. I wish that my country could take a bold step to condemn such inhuman persecution," said a practitioner from Ukraine.

Jia’s crimes are under investigation by the World Organisation to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG). WOIPFG verified that Jia actively participated in the perception of Falun Gong initiated by Jiang Zemin since July 20th 1999. When he was Secretary of CCP Committee in Beijing, he directly participated in and was responsible for the illegal imprisonment and torture of numerous Falun Gong practitioners. He is one of the main culprits for the persecution of Falun Gong. Since September 2004, he has been sued in Austria and Spain for his crimes of genocide and torture.
