According to International, Swedish and Chinese law, torture is prohibited and offenders liable to punishment. But China's former Head of State, Jiang Zemin, and his associates violated these laws, causing extreme suffering and death to their own countrymen.

Like all other criminals, they deny their guilt, so overseas Falun Gong practitioners exposed their crimes by re-enacting some of the torture methods in public.

On December 8th, 2004, the US District Court in Northern California found Xia Deren, former Governor of Liaoning Province and Liu Qiu, former Beijing Major liable for torture, inhuman treatment and arbitrary detention.
