On 9th October, world-renowned human rights lawyer Mr Georges-Henri Beauthier and the Belgian Falun Dafa Association held a press conference regarding the decision made by the state prosecutor over a lawsuit filed against the Chinese dictator Jiang Zemin. Important media organisations were invited to the conference.

Mr. Beauthier told the conference that, first of all, the prosecutor didn't deny the existence of the crime of genocide to Falun Gong practitioners. However, the prosecutor thought the Belgian practitioners were not the serious victims in this human rights violation, so the prosecutor decided not to hear this lawsuit case. Mr. Beauthier informed people about the negative answer from the state prosecutor, and he told the press that it is wrong for a prosecutor to decide whether the Belgian plaintiffs were victims of genocide or not. Only a judge has the right to decide that. He stated that the case will continue until justice is served.

A representative from the Belgian Falun Dafa Association made a statement in the conference and emphasised several points: the state prosecutor did not deny the existence of the genocide against Falun Gong practitioners; the state prosecutor has no right to decide if serious violations of human rights occurred against the plaintiffs; the two Belgian Falun Gong practitioners are only a tiny part of the millions of Falun Gong practitioners who are being persecuted by this campaign of genocide; this persecution is still going on; the Belgian Falun Gong practitioners will continue to provide proof of the genocide against Falun Dafa. Finally, we wrote a letter to the Minister of Justice to ask her to urge the prosecutor to investigate this lawsuit.

Mr Georges-Henri Beauthier
