RFA reported on October 24th that many Chinese officials who are involved in the persecution of Falun Gong have been sued during their overseas visits. The Falun Dafa Association recently made an announcement advising Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials to stop persecuting Falun Gong; otherwise, they will be sued if they travel abroad.

Since the announcement was made on October 9th, practitioners around the world have read it to Chinese embassies and consulates, or official representative organisations. In Brisbane, Australia, officials at the Chinese consulate sprayed water on practitioners reading the announcement on the street outside.

In San Francisco, around thirty practitioners gathered in front of the Chinese Consulate, and practitioner Duan Li read:

"The persecution of persons based solely on their practise of the principles of "Truthfulness, Benevolence, and Forbearance" is unconscionable. At the beginning of this persecution, many high-ranking officials in the government and the CCP disagreed with Jiang's policy of persecution, or dealt with the persecution passively. Some even resisted. Many high-ranking officials also practised Falun Gong. During the past six years, through peaceful resistance and a courageous degree of endurance, Falun Gong practitioners have clarified the truth to the people the world over. People who were previously deceived have awakened or are in the process of learning the facts. As a result, they have refused to join the persecution."

The announcement pointed out that during recent years, practitioners overseas have sued over a dozen Chinese officials, including Jiang Zemin, who are involved in the persecution, for their crimes against humanity, torture, and genocide.

The announcement stated, "From today on, overseas Falun Gong practitioners will file civil or criminal lawsuits against all important government or CCP officials who participate in or continue to implement the persecution of Falun Gong and as a result, commit new crimes in addition to those they have already perpetrated against Falun Gong."

Ms. Yiyan Huang, a practitioner participating in the event, said that the persecution against Falun Gong has lasted more than six years. Practitioners wish to awaken the conscience of the killers.

Ms. Huang, "We practitioners are compassionate towards others. Though you have committed wrongdoings before for whatever reasons, you are given an opportunity to correct it. Thus the announcement was made to notify those Chinese officials to stop committing wrongdoings."

After the reading the announcement, a practitioner put it in an envelope and took it to the reception room of the consulate to be transferred to the General Consulate. One consulate official threw the letter outdoors and said continuously, "Don't want."
