On May 10th, 2007, the German parliament passed a historic resolution condemning the Chinese Communist regime for its forced labour system. In the parliament, all parties unanimously and strongly condemned the Chinese regime’s inhuman forced labour system and called on the German government to seriously investigate the allegations that the regime is harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners.

"We sincerely urge the EU to take this valuable opportunity to openly and publicly speak out against the human rights abuses. The EU’s efforts and public condemnation of this senseless and horrific persecution can significantly contribute to easing the pressure that the practitioners in China are currently enduring and take us one step closer to ending their suffering. It has now been over 8 years since the crackdown began. Every day, we receive more news of yet another torture victim, another family torn apart, another human rights crime."

On the morning of April 17th, 2007, Falun Gong practitioners filed a lawsuit against Wu Guanzheng for the crimes of genocide and torture.

During February and March of 2002, “European Chinese Newspaper” carried many articles slandering Falun Gong practitioners and spread hatred among the Chinese Community. These articles played a part in assisting the carrying out of the persecution of Falun Gong initiated by Jiang Zemin, the former leader of China. The shocking news that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has removed organs from living Falun Gong practitioners and subsequently sold them, which has been recently exposed, shows that the persecution is so severe that it has far exceeded people’s imagination.

It is hoped that this is the starting point of terminating the persecution and that all of the criminals responsible for the persecution are brought to justice.

Spain's Supreme Court held a hearing on June 6th 2006, and ruled that it could accept a lawsuit brought by several victims accusing the top Chinese officials of committing genocide against Falun Gong in the past seven years.

That means Falun Gong can now appeal an earlier rejection of the lawsuit by the Audencia Nacional, Spain's highest criminal court.

On December 5th, the Ombudsman, a position designated to monitor the state administration and local authorities, released its opinion on the Falun Gong entry denial case from June 2002: The government broke the law by denying Falun Gong practitioners from crossing the border, and authorising Icelandair to carry out the decision by refusing to permit Falun Gong members to board Icelandair planes. This is the second positive decision made by the Iceland government-monitoring institutions.

The UK Falun Gong Association has requested the UK Home Office to bar entry to Bo Xilai. Bo Xilai is a high-ranking member of the Chinese Communist Party who is guilty of crimes against humanity, genocide and the use of torture against Falun Gong practitioners in China.

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.

On August 28th, 2005, Falun Gong practitioners in Denmark filed a lawsuit with the Danish police, which requested the Danish procurator to arrest Jia Chunwang who is currently visiting Denmark. As the former Minister of the Public Security Bureau of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), Jia committed serious crimes in persecuting Falun Gong.

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. Also, while he was minister of public security from July 1999 to December 2002, Mr. Jia Chunwang organized, ordered and encouraged the large-scale arrest and torture of Falun Gong practitioners through the police force and the national system for public security.

Recently, the World Organisation to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong (WOIPFG) learned that an evil person called Li Yuanwei — who has been taking a controlling role in the genocide against Falun Gong as chief of the management branch of Lingyuan Prison and head of the 610 Office* in Liaoning Province — was visiting France to do some research. Practitioners in France and from other countries worked together to collect and translate criminal evidence of Li Yuanwei’s activities in persecuting Falun Gong practitioners. On the morning of the 19th of July, the French Falun Gong Association filed a lawsuit on behalf of those Falun Gong practitioners who were persecuted and charged Li Yuanwei with being responsible for persecuting Falun Gong practitioners.
