COPENHAGEN (The Danish Falun Gong Association) – Falun Gong practitioners in Denmark have filed a lawsuit against Mr. Jia Chunwang, one of the central figures in China’s Gestapo – the ”610 Office” – for torture, with the purpose of initiating court proceedings in Denmark against Mr. Jia Chunwang, as Denmark is compelled to according to the UN Convention Against Torture 7(1).

Mr. Jia Chunwang is China’s Procurator General and is currently on Danish territory, where he will be partaking in an international conference for prosecutors being held in Copenhagen.

As one of the central figures in the ”610-office”, which was specifically established in 1999 to comply with and coordinate the Communist-regime’s demand that Falun Gong practitioners be destroyed both physically and psychologically, Mr. Jia Chunwang bears direct responsibility for the horrible crimes that have been committed during the illegal persecution of Falun Gong.

Since 1999, confirmed data verify that more than 2,781 Falun Gong practitioners have been persecuted to death and over 6,000 have been sentenced to prison terms up to 18 years in length. Millions have been illegally arrested, detained, abused and tortured by police. Torture methods such as force-feeding with excrements and urine, electrical shocks on and inside genitalia, group rape, forced abortion, forced injections with unknown and poisonous substances, are well-documented in reports filed by the UN and Amnesty International and have shocked the people of the world. More than 100 methods of torture against Falun Gong practitioners have been documented.

While he was minister of public security, from July 1999 to December 2002, Mr. Jia Chunwang organised, ordered and encouraged the mass scale arrests and torture of Falun Gong practitioners through the police force and the national system for public security.

One of the witnesses now residing in Denmark, Liu Xiaotian, went through tremendous psychological pain and horror, when at the age of 15 his parents where arrested and later tortured to death. The psychological pressure was so heavy that he lost his capability of speech and became mentally unstable. Many orphans in China today live a lonely and dangerous life, because there parents have been persecuted to death for practising Falun Gong. Falun Gong’s principles are the universal principles of Truth, Compassion and Tolerance.

After Mr. Jia Chunwang became Procurator General, he has conspired and promoted torture in prisons and detention-centres and has thereby transformed the judicial system into a tool for the unlawful persecution of Falun Gong practitioners.

Recently, 3 Chinese defectors, a former officer in the ”610-office”, a Chinese senior officer of the judicial bureau and a former Chinese diplomat, have all independently confirmed the widespread persecution and abuse of Falun Gong practitioners in China, and the systematic persecution of Falun Gong outside of China organised by Chinese embassies and consulates abroad.

Around the world, 49 lawsuits have been filed in 27 countries to bring the responsible perpetrators before court so they can be brought to justice for their crimes against Falun Gong practitioners. Two members of the “610-office” have already been found guilty of torture against Falun Gong practitioners. Helping us with our case is a group of human rights lawyers, one of them being Tyge Trier.

We request that all necessary and legal means be taken to bring Mr. Jia Chunwang before a Danish court. We appeal to the judicial and political authorities in Denmark, that they help uphold justice in the name of Law.

This lawsuit also sends out a strong message, that the world is not blind to the horrible crimes that the Chinese communist regime has committed against Falun Gong practitioners through the last 6 years, and that the perpetrators should stop their evil acts and no longer blindly follow the communist dictatorships unending incitement of hatred and violence. Listen to the voice of conscience and help put an end to the persecution of Falun Gong.
