Sweden: Bo Xilai Sued for Murder and Torture by Falun Gong Practitioners Once Again

On June 8th, 2007, Chinese Commerce Minister Bo Xilai accompanied the head of the CCP, Hu Jintao, on his visit to Sweden. In the afternoon, in accordance with Swedish law, the Swedish Falun Gong Association served a lawsuit against Bo for murder, torture and kidnapping at Stockholm Police Department.

When Bo visited Sweden in September 2006, the Swedish Falun Gong Association sued him. After consultation with the Justice Department, however, the Swedish Police did not initiate litigation due to his diplomatic immunity. This does not mean though that he did not commit the alleged crimes.

Swedish Falun Gong representative Dan Alfjorden briefly summarised the indictment: “During Bo’s tenure as the Governor of Liaoning Province from 2001 to 2004, he invested huge sums of money in building prison facilities in order to coerce Falun Gong practitioners into giving up their beliefs. Masanjia labour camp alone cost over 500 million Yuan (US$60 million). Liaoning became one of the provinces where Falun Gong saw the most severe persecution. According to statistics from the Clearwisdom website, there were 369 documented deaths from torture of Falun Gong practitioners in Liaoning Province, which ranked No. 3 among all provinces in China. One surgeon said he alone removed some two thousand Falun Gong practitioners' corneas. This happened during Bo's tenure.”

Bo has been indicted by Falun Gong practitioners for murder, crimes against humanity, and torture in a dozen countries, including the U.S., the U.K., Germany, Ireland, New Zealand, Russia, Australia, Korea, Spain and Canada. Evil will not go unpunished. Whenever Bo visits a foreign country, he faces legal action against him.

According to a Falun Gong practitioner from Stockholm, Ms. Zhang, during heads of the CCP’s visit practitioners collected 13,825 signatures that condemned the atrocities of organ harvesting and the persecution of Falun Gong. Falun Gong practitioners will further clarify the truth so that all walks of life become aware of the CCP’s brutal persecution. They will call upon people’s conscience to stop the unprecedented evil crimes against humanity together.
