Falun Dafa Association Announcement

Since 1999 when the dictator Jiang Zemin initiated the bloody persecution of Falun Gong in China, the CCP has relied upon state power and an array of CCP terrorist mechanisms under its control to suppress innocent Falun Gong practitioners to the greatest extent possible. Under Jiang and the CCP's menace, many province- and city-level officials have acted as ringleaders or collaborators in the torture and killing of Falun Gong practitioners. Using their official positions, they have participated in this persecution to varying degrees, not only as initiators, co-conspirators and ringleaders, but also as aiders, abettors, and other types of accomplices.

During the political movement that swept the entire nation, all provinces and cities established regional or local "610 Offices," whose sole purpose was to persecute Falun Gong. Governmental and CCP officials and leaders planned, instigated, ordered, authorised, aided, abetted or incited police and other security forces to commit the abuses suffered by the Falun Gong practitioners, and used all resources to directly participate in such a large-scale, systematic persecution. The police, CCP's political and judiciary committee secretaries at various levels, and directors of 610 Offices at each level directly planned, and conducted the persecution mercilessly. The crimes they committed include, but are not limited to, genocide, torture, extra-judicial killing, prolonged arbitrary detention, forced labour, and cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment.

Falun Gong practitioners have sued the former head of state Jiang Zemin for genocide, torture, and crimes against humanity in more than a dozen countries including the United States, Canada, Spain, and Australia. High profile attorneys from many countries have also sued other key figures such as Luo Gan, Zhou Yongkang, Liu Jing, Zeng Qinghong, and Li Lanqing. Many former or current governmental or city level officials, police department officials or 610 Office directors have been sued as well. A few well-known figures from this list are former CCP Hebei Province Secretary and current Minister of Information Industry Wang Xudong; former Governor of Liaoning and current Minister of Commerce Bo Xilai; former CCP Beijing City Secretary Jia Qinglin; CCP Anhui Province Secretary Wang Taihua; former CCP Liaoning Province Deputy Secretary and current Dalian Mayor Xia Deren; former Beijing Mayor, current CCP Beijing City Secretary Liu Qi; and Deputy Police Commissioner of Hubei Province Zhao Zhifei.

The persecution of persons based solely on their practice of the principles of "Truthfulness, Benevolence, and Forbearance" is unconscionable. At the beginning of this persecution, many high-ranking officials in the government and the CCP disagreed with Jiang's policy of persecution, or dealt with the persecution passively. Some even resisted. Many high-ranking officials also practised Falun Gong. During the past six years, through peaceful resistance and a courageous degree of endurance, Falun Gong practitioners have clarified the truth to the people the world over. People who were previously deceived have awakened or are in the process of learning the facts. As a result , they have refused to join the persecution.

Ever since the publication of The Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party, Chinese people have more clearly recognised the nature of the CCP and the evil nature of the persecution. More than 4.8 million have withdrawn from the CCP and its related organisations. Heaven's destruction of the CCP is a historical inevitability. Gods must punish those criminals who have sinned against Falun Dafa. Those who refuse to do the right thing and instead continue to follow Jiang's scoundrel regime's persecution policies will be severely punished as perpetrators of unforgivable crimes.

At this critical historical moment, the Falun Dafa Association has made a special announcement: From today on, overseas Falun Gong practitioners will file civil or criminal lawsuits against all important government or CCP officials who participate in or continue to implement the persecution of Falun Gong and as a result, commit new crimes in addition to those they have already perpetrated against Falun Gong..

These provinces and cities include Hebei Province, Heilongjiang Province, Liaoning Province, Jilin Province, Shandong Province, Sichuan Province, Hubei Province, Henan Province, Hunan Province, Beijing City, Guangdong Province, Chongqing City, Inner-Mongolia Autonomous Region, Gansu Province, Anhui Province, Tianjin Province, Jiangxi Province, Shanxi Province, Guizhou Province, Jiangsu Province, Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, Shaanxi Province, Shanghai City, Fujian Province, Yunnan Province, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Zhejiang Province, Qinghai Province, Hainan Province, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, and Tibet Autonomous Region, etc., including provincial capitals and other medium- and small-sized cities within these provinces.

The CCP regime is against heaven's will, and is about to collapse. It is now having difficulty sustaining the persecution. Heaven's final judgement of these evil criminals is imminent. However, one of the purposes of the sacred FA of Falun Gong is to save people, including people in all social statuses. Even for those who have committed wrongdoings, there is still an opportunity for them to abandon the evil path and choose to be good. For all those who have committed crimes against Falun Gong but want now to correct their mistakes, they can submit, under safe circumstances, a guarantee statement or regret letter to Minghui (Clearwisdom Net) or to any regional Falun Dafa Association to be archived. We will not investigate the various crimes of those who are determined to correct their mistakes. However we will continue to monitor their actions.
