Spokesperson Marco Hsu from the Danish Falun Gong Association says, that he will file a complaint against Jia Chunwang to the State Prosecutor for Special International Crime-cases. Chunwang has, according to Falun Gong, among other things been a leader of a special office which has lead the Chinese government’s campaign against the movement since 1999. ”Since Jia Chunwang has been minister of public security and one of the leaders of the special office, he has had influence on what all the sub-departments of that office have done of persecution and torture”, says Marco Hsu.

Jiang Renzheng, twenty nine years old, is being persecuted. On March 7th, Mr. Jiang, his wife and their two children were deported from the Bavarian State Germany to China because they were not granted asylum. Shortly after his arrival in China, the staff from the State Security Bureau accosted him. One month later he was sent to a labour camp. Mr. Jiang is a Falun Gong practitioner, while at present the Falun Gong movement is being persecuted in China.

'This Monday at nine o’clock, Xiaotian Liu stood watch between two banners in front of Hotel Scandic in Copenhagen, where prosecutors from 80 countries are gathered for three days to discuss witnesses' and victims' judicial position in Criminal case. Among the guest speakers is the Chinese Procurator General Jia Chunwang, whom three Falun Gong practitioners, one of them being Xiaotian Liu, filed a torture complaint against to the police on Sunday. He is guilty of this, because Chunwang, according to Falun Gong, has among other things been leader of a special office which has lead the Chinese Government’s campaign against Falun Gong since 1999.'

Falun Gong practitioners in Denmark have filed a lawsuit against Mr. Jia Chunwang, one of the central figures in China’s Gestapo – the ”610 Office” – for torture, with the purpose of initiating court proceedings in Denmark against Mr. Jia Chunwang, as Denmark is compelled to according to the UN Convention Against Torture 7(1). As one of the central figures in the ”610-office”, which was specifically established in 1999 to comply with and coordinate the Communist-regime’s demand that Falun Gong practitioners be destroyed both physically and psychologically, Mr. Jia Chunwang bears direct responsibility for the horrible crimes that have been committed during the illegal persecution of Falun Gong.

In the UK at present, Ms. Ling Na Rong is still in detention, her fate hanging in the balance, having narrowly avoided two scheduled deportations. The authorities have rejected her asylum claims because she is not a "Falun Gong leader". Yet Falun Gong practitioners in the UK are adamant that she faces a very real risk of torture.

Zhang Shanshan looked like any other carefree 6-year-old as she played near the fountain in front of Waco City Hall on Sunday afternoon.

She hoped to let Italians understand the cruel persecution of the Falun Gong practitioners.

Wong, a practitioner of Falun Gong, a spiritual self-improvement belief system, is among 25 people touring Texas this weekend to raise awareness about China's orphaned children whose "tears are not seen and whose cries are not heard." ... "It was very painful," said Wong, who left her daughter in her mother's care while she worked to bring In Sin to the United States. They were reunited last month.

"This resulted in persecution, torture and even murder of the members. On Saturday evening, German Falun Gong supporters demonstrated against these actions in the Diepholzer downtown area and used truly graphic means. A torture victim with a black eye and his tormentor remained almost motionless at their place in front of the Oldenburg County Bank. Next to them some members of the group meditated."

A peaceful protest by Falun Gong practitioners took place on Zagreb’s business square.

The Croatian Falun Gong practitioners invited all citizens to join in the group exercises and meditation.

At the press conference, Supervisor Chris Daly said he, too, had been heavily lobbied by the Chinese government when he sponsored an unsuccessful resolution admonishing the Chinese government for its repression of Falun Gong. "It is difficult to stand solid when you have such pressure against you," Daly said. "Fiona Ma, in my opinion, has been unfairly lobbied against welcoming a significant cultural exhibit."

"I was taking a walk in New York City. On the corner of Fifth Avenue near Central Station, many Chinese were giving out fliers to passers-by and telling their stories. They seemed very concerned and needed help. The fliers they gave out described the gross human rights abuses currently happening in China. I spoke to them to find out more. These Chinese people then started recounting to me the tragedies that happened. They said the government in Beijing persecuted a spiritual practice called Falun Gong."

Hong Jiang, an assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin, said that at the moment he was reading Zhuan Falun by Li Hongzhi.

Liang Zhen's mother Yuan Yuju and brother Liang Jinhui are practitioners of Falun Gong. They were arrested on July 19 on false criminal charges. Situ Hua expressed that Liang Zhen's revealing the facts would at least prevent her family members from quietly disappearing from the world. He hoped that those Chinese Communist Party members who had not quit the party would not assist the evildoers in the persecution of Falun Gong or other groups.

"Something so inoffensive was all of a sudden prohibited by the Chinese government, then presided over by Jiang Zemin. The reasons for this persecution, according to the organisations that defend this large collective, point to the harsh control that the dictatorship exerts over everything that does not follow the regime’s principles. In barely six years, the number of people murdered, tortured to death, persecuted and incarcerated has not ceased to grow..."

"In the eyes of the former head of the CCP and Chinese President, Jiang Zemin, his greatest threat was the popularity and respect that Falun Gong held among the Chinese population. He worried that the greatest threat and challenge to the CCP's power was the high ethical principals that are the mainstay of Falun Gong. Once the number of Falun Gong practitioners became larger than the CCP membership, Jiang Zemin began his brutal persecution."

A television programme about the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China was transmitted by a television-station, Presens TV on July 22nd. The programme was high quality, covering different aspects. As an introduction, two pictures of Falun Gong practitioner Gao Rongrong were shown, one before and one after she was tortured.

"Suddenly on July 20th 1999, one hundred million Chinese citizens are declared as public enemy number one. The former head of state Jiang Zemin was very clear in his instruction: “Tarnish their names, ruin them financially, destroy them physically!” A minority is demonised and become the scapegoats for all the ills in the Chinese system and society."

Truthfulness, Compassion and Tolerance are universal principles that were too demanding for the Chinese Government. Each year China tops the lists of human rights violations, torture or the implementation of capital punishment that are published by the most prestigious independent organisations such as Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch. This intolerance has afflicted Falun Gong practitioners.

The BBC Chinese website published a report on 8th August 2005 entitled: “Ma Yingjiu: Standing Strongly Against the CCP with China”. The report says, Mr. Ma Yingjiu, the new leader of the Taiwanese Kuomintang Party, said to a Chinese Times reporter during an interview on Jinmen Island: “Justice for June 4th, support Falun Gong, criticise the anti-secession law. These viewpoints will not be silenced just because I have become the president of the Taiwanese Kuomintang party.”

Between 16th and 22nd of June 2005, for the first time Falun Gong practitioners in the Czech Republic and Slovakia made wide contact with the mainstream media, exposing the brutal persecution of Falun Gong by the Chinese Communist regime.

More than twenty people from the Spanish Falun Gong Association and their legal team peacefully protested at the Chinese Embassy in Madrid. They urged that the genocide, persecution and torture of hundreds of thousands of innocent people who have a right to freedom of belief in China be stopped. The organiser said that to commemorate the sixth anniversary of the persecution against Falun Gong was the purpose of the day’s gathering. The former president of the Chinese Communist Party, Jiang Zemin, initiated the comprehensive persecution of Falun Gong practitioners, the followers of an ancient Chinese spiritual practice, with the policy of defaming their reputations, bankrupting them financially, and destroying them physically.

Due to the concerns of the International Organisation for Human Rights and the German Government, during the human rights forum between China and Germany the Chinese Government was obliged to admit the arrest of Mr. Jiang Renzheng, a Chinese Falun Gong practitioner who was deported back to China from Germany at the beginning of May.

Falun Gong has five powerful and peaceful exercises that cultivate the body and the soul...The Chinese authorities banned Falun Gong in 1999, because the number of practitioners far outnumbered the number of members of the Communist Party. Since then, several thousand Falun Gong practitioners from China have been persecuted, illegally jailed, tortured or sent to forced labour camps. Several thousand have been killed.

Two Belgian citizens file a complaint against those responsible within the Chinese Communist regime for harassing them and attacking their way of life. Being Falun Gong practitioners, Nicolas Schols and Yuhong Shi practise meditation exercises and follow truth, compassion and tolerance in their daily lives. For 6 years now (since 20/07/1999) the Chinese Communist regime has relentlessly persecuted Falun Gong practitioners inside China through torture and killing. In addition, it has tried to extend this persecution outside China through defamation, blacklisting, espionage and harassment.

Violations of basic human rights and the persecution against good people in China violates laws and regulations, which most countries — China included — have ratified to secure the lives of their citizens. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has now extended its tentacles of persecution outside China. The latest example in Finland was the harassing phone calls in the spring, when contact persons for Falun Gong in several areas received disturbing and threatening phone calls repeating the evil propaganda from the CCP. The international community should help the investigations in order to have the culprits behind the act identified.

The statement included two declarations. First, Jiang’s parents voluntarily handed over to the National Security Bureau Jiang’s private correspondence and photos from abroad. The other declaration was that Jiang’s parents agreed to send Jiang to a forced labour camp for brainwashing and conversion.

The exercises are useless if one does not cultivate one’s heart at the same time.

This article is based on an April 12th report by German newspaper The Main Post. Phone calls from China said that Jiang Renzheng, who was deported to China from Wurzburg, was sentenced to three years in a forced labour camp. The only reason for his detention is that he participated in Falun Gong activities in Germany, which are forbidden in China.

The Finnish practitioner has been the target of the Chinese Communist Party’s threat campaign. He received several hundred harassing phone calls, where English tape recordings were played defaming Falun Gong. Like other Finish Falun Gong practitioners who received the same type of calls, he sent crime investigation reports about the case to the local police and also had an opportunity to report about the harassment on the TV programme. Many people who had watched the programme told practitioners that they condemned the dirty tricks used by the Chinese Government and expressed support for Falun Gong.

An honest and kind businesswoman who stayed regularly in Islington has been jailed for two years in a Beijing labour camp for practising Falun Gong, a faith that is [banned and persecuted] in China. Friends are campaigning for the release of single mother Feng Yang (also known as Annie), 42, amid fears she may be suffering torture and ill treatment in the Tiantanghe labour camp.
