Falun Gong Practitioners in Denmark Prepare to Launch a Lawsuit Against Jiang and His Accomplices

The Danish Falun Dafa Association has declared to the public that it will sue the persecutor of Falun Gong practitioners, Jiang Zemin, and his accomplices.

In the last few months, Danish Falun Gong practitioners have been turning to members of the Danish society and legal experts for moral support and advice on the possibility of prosecuting Jiang and his major accomplices in a Danish court. With their understanding of Danish law, practitioners believe that it is possible to sue Jiang in Denmark. As long as the required legal papers are well prepared, any accomplice involved in the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China will face a lawsuit once he/she steps onto Danish territory.

After sending letters requesting advice to Danish legal experts, the Danish Falun Dafa Association has received more than one hundred letters from lawyers. Almost all of the lawyers read through the materials and expressed sympathy for Falun Gong practitioners. Many lawyers offered suggestions from the perspective of Danish law. With the recommendation of the lawyers, Danish Falun Gong practitioners obtained help and support from a renowned human rights lawyer in preparing the lawsuit against Jiang.

According to Danish law, the lawsuit will be filed as a criminal lawsuit; Jiang and his followers will be prosecuted for crimes of genocide and torture. Danish Falun Gong practitioners will offer detailed evidence to the court, exposing the facts of the brutal persecution in China. With this lawsuit, some practitioners who had been subjected to brutal torture in China will serve as plaintiffs.

Apart from the inhumane persecution against Falun Gong practitioners in China, the Jiang regime has also extended its’ persecution to Denmark, committing a variety of human rights violations via its Danish Embassy. Falun Gong practitioners and their family members both inside and outside China have even been threatened and persecuted. The ten-million-dollar property of one Danish Falun Gong practitioner, Zhu Xuezhi, was confiscated just because of his belief in “Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance”, an event that has received strong concern and attention from the Danish society. During this persecution each of the Danish practitioners had personally experienced persecution to various extents. As plaintiffs in the lawsuit, Danish practitioners will state their experience of persecution and as being victims.

After sending letters asking for advice to Danish government officials, the Danish Falun Dafa Association received many replies from them after they had consulted the Danish Minister of Justice. One of the ministers commented, “I took a great interest in reading your letter. I think it is possible to sue China’s former leader Jiang for genocide in Denmark.”

During activities to collect petition signatures, practitioners received generous support from the public for the lawsuit against Jiang. Many kind-hearted Danish people and tourists signed their names to voice their support.

Danish Dafa practitioners will take complete advantage of this precious opportunity to clarify the facts to the Danish public in a more comprehensive way.
