A lawsuit is in the offing barely one year after the maligned police intervention during Jiang Zemin’s visit on April 11, 2002 in Dresden [against Falun Dafa practitioners]. A fact-finding suit is being planned in Meissen and Dresden.

Many people protested against China’s human rights abuses during Jiang’s visit last year. Saxonian police earned criticism for their handling of the protesters. Among other complaints, police manhandled a 40-year-old woman outside the Taschenberg Palais/Hotel Kempinski because she had shouted the name of Falun Gong, a meditation system outlawed in China. Police also prevented a camera team from filming the protest events and tore a Tibetan flag from a protester’s hands.

Leipzig attorney Mr. Frank Selbman is representing the Dresden and Meissen plaintiffs and will file a fact-finding suit within the next few days. Similar actions are planned for Berlin, Potsdam and Goslar.
