During his visit on the 8th and 9th of June to the International Auto Convention in Paris, Wang Chun-Kwen was charged with crimes of cruelty and torture. The plaintiff in this case is a Chinese student residing in Ireland. He authorised the French Falun Gong Association to file his complaint. This student was jailed and tortured in China for twenty-two months.

Wang Chun-Kwen, the Secretary General of the Communist Party in China’s Jilin Province, is directly responsible for organising the persecution against Falun Gong practitioners in this province. Jilin is one of the provinces in China that has the highest number of Falun Gong practitioners who were persecuted to death.

Wang Chun-Kwen has not merely executed orders from the Chinese Communist Party to persecute Falun Gong but also initiated the persecution in this province. He organised brainwashing classes to force Falun Gong practitioners to renounce their beliefs.

Zhao Ming, the student currently residing in Ireland, is from Jilin. Mr. Zhao was illegally arrested, detained and tortured upon his return to Jilin during the Christmas holidays in 1999. Thanks to rescue efforts by several non-governmental organisations and Irish politicians, Zhao Ming was released in March 2003. However, many other Falun Gong practitioners are still being illegally imprisoned in secret concentration camps in China and are suffering constant torture.

During the two-day visit by Wang Chun-Kwen to Paris, Zhao Ming and the French Falun Gong Association filed a lawsuit with the Paris court against Wang, hoping that the French prosecutors will interrogate Wang before he leaves France, according to standard judicial procedures.

Thirty-four lawsuits against twenty-two high ranking officials of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) are currently in process in several other democratic countries. Some of the perpetrators in these cases have been found guilty and sentenced. Many high-ranking CCP officials who seek business opportunities abroad and do businesses with foreigners are actually perpetrators of these horrendous crimes. When they occasionally leave China, they are afraid of being indicted abroad for crimes they have committed on the Mainland. They know that although Chinese laws are lax, they can be subject to the laws of other countries.

When people recognise that the Chinese Communist Party is a persecution machine, they understand that doing business with CCP representatives is like breeding a wolf. They risk being attacked by the wolf one day.

The confirmed number of Falun Gong practitioners persecuted to death in Jilin has reached 298 as of June 2005. Jilin ranks number four among Chinese provinces for the number of practitioners who were persecuted to death.

In fact, we believe that sooner rather than later, all the perpetrators will also face justice in China.
