RFI: A pre-trial conference held on January 13, 2003 in preparation of Falun Gong practitioners lawsuit against Jiang Zemin

The Asian section of the French International Broadcasting Station broadcast the following message to its recipients, which includes viewers in mainland China:

“In a recent press statement, a spokesman for the European Falun Dafa Information Centre commented; “while Jiang Zemin recently visited the U.S, he was successfully served with a writ to stand trial. A lawsuit was filed in the Illinois District Court, where a pre-trial conference was held to brief the Attorneys involved [about the lawsuit]. The lawsuit enables Falun Dafa practitioners to bring the charges of Human Rights abuses and Genocide against Jiang, and also to bring up charges related to the “610” Office [an agency specifically set-up to persecute Falun Gong, with absolute power and jurisdiction over all levels of the government].

It was also reported that Falun Gong Practitioners in more than 50 countries are to hold activities including candle-light vigils outside Chinese Embassies worldwide for three days, from the 12 through to 13 of January. A series of press conferences, to highlight the recent increase in death cases of Falun Gong practitioners in China, will also be held [in more than 50 countries].”
