• A Report on Falun Gong Practitioners Sueing Jiang in Belgium

  2003-08-25
  Between 1992 and 1999, Falun Gong flourished throughout China.

Falun Gong practitioners were found in all walks of life, from farmers to bankers, from housewives to government and military officials. In July 1999, fearful and jealous that Falun Gong had touched the hearts and minds of such a broad range of Chinese people, Jiang Zemin used his power as the country’s top leader to ban the practise, an act that went against the decision of the Politburo Standing Committee members and the Premier, and was, in fact, illegal because it overstepped the power granted to Jiang by the Chinese Constitution.

• Speech for Rally at Parliament Hill

  2003-08-25
  There can be no excuses. No silence. No looking away. Instead all governments must, with determination and resolve, do everything possible to ensure that Chinese officials, no matter how high or low their office, who have been responsible for committing human rights violations are held to account for what they have done.
