Radio Free Asia Reports on Geneva NGO “Track Impunity Always” Launching a Lawsuit Against Jiang Zemin

During the 59^th session of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights, many activities were held inside and outside the U.N. Building in Geneva. The Swiss non-governmental organisation “Track Impunity Always” held a press conference announcing its plan to prosecute Jiang Zemin and others involved in the persecution of Falun Gong.

The following is an English translation of the report by Radio Free Asia correspondent Tian-yi (originally in Chinese):

The 59^th session of the U.N. Human Rights Commission convened last Monday Security measures inside and outside the venue were very tight due to the war with Iraq. On Thursday, an RFA correspondent interviewed Ms. Zheng Zhihong, who rushed to Geneva from Germany simply because of the persecution of Falun Gong in China. Zheng Zhihong graduated from Zhejiang University in China, and is now one of the leading figures of a German task force dedicated to the rescue of Falun Gong practitioners and their families. She outlined the situation inside and outside the U.N. building during the last two days:

“The ‘Global Coalition against Article 23’ has urged the United Nations to be concerned about the enactment of Article 23 in Hong Kong at a press conference, and demanded that it considers the basic human rights of every Hong Kong resident. What we are concerned about is not how to modify the provision, rather we completely don’t want Article 23."

The mission of “Track Impunity Always” is to track down those who have abused human rights but have not been charged with their crimes and brought to a just trial. Regarding the press conference, Ms. Zheng Zhihong said: "Before the press conference came to a close, the chairperson of “Track Impunity Always” mentioned that his association will help track these persecution cases and file a lawsuit."
