Denmark: Anti-torture Exhibition Held During a Meeting of International Prosecutors

The Meeting of International Prosecutors was held in the capital of Denmark from August 29th to September 1st, 2005. The focus was on human rights and the position of witnesses and victims in legal proceedings. Prosecutors from more than eighty countries attended the meeting.

However, it is a pity that Jia Qunwang, the former Minister of the Public Security Department and the chief prosecutor of the highest procurator’s office in China, who always participated in persecuting Falun Gong practitioners for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), was the main spokesperson in the meeting on the first day. He told lies which were completely the opposite to the real human rights condition in China to the audience at the meeting.

Peaceful appeal

Consequently, the Danish Falun Gong practitioners exercised their rights in a democratic nation. They sued Jia and filed a criminal suit with the Danish prosecutor. They exposed the torture and the cruel punishment committed in China in front of the prosecutors from all over the world. This action caught the attention of many prosecutors who joined the meeting. Some prosecutors asked the organisers of the meeting to explain it.

Anti-torture exhibition

Meanwhile, Falun Gong practitioners held a peaceful appeal for four days outside the meeting. They held a exhibition of simulated torture methods with actors on the hill opposite the main gate of the conference, to appeal to the participants of the meeting and other people to pay attention to the persecution happening in China. They appealed for justice to be returned to the legal system in China and for basic human rights to be returned to the Chinese people, and for an end to this inhuman persecution.
