Marco Hsu´s debatable letter Four Years of Persecution in Berlingske Tidende on the 11th August, 2003, describes Chinas former state leader Jiang Zemins Genocide, torture and human rights crimes against Falun Gong practitioners. However, what is even more critical is that Jiang Zemin and his gang are persecuting humans with high moral principles: Truth, Compassion, and Tolerance.
Jiang Zemins crimes are not just violations against Falun Gong. His persecution of Falun Gong is just a sign just like miners carrying a canary into the mine shaft to warn them about the lack of oxygen. Jiang Zemins crimes are a threat to all Chinese people, because they destroy the moral standards that are the base of a stable society. At the same time, they are also a threat to our own legal rights. China is a superpower with influence extending far beyond its own borders. We saw this for ourselves in Denmark during the ASEM (Asian-European) summit in September 2002, when the authorities were excessively anxiousness to please the noble visitors from China.
China must obey international laws. Traditionally, this finds its place in the so called Critical Dialogues - that is dialogues with Danish diplomats behind closed doors calling attention to the Human Rights violations in China, while the Chinese listen with uninterested faces. However, nothing happens outside this closed door. Therefore, triggering the attention of the general public becomes very necessary. Here nothing is better than a lawsuit because lawsuits awaken media attention. In Brussels, on Wednesday 20th August 2003, Falun Gong practitioners succeeded in filing a lawsuit against Jiang Zemin. Maybe it will also succeed in breaking down the obstacle that stops us taking Jiang Zemin to court in Denmark. Previously, lawsuits against him have been raised in the United States, Switzerland, France, and at the United Nations. Denmark must also keep its options open.
