(Clearwisdom.net, October 19, 2 003) On the 15th of October in Madrid, Spanish Falun Gong practitioners filed a lawsuit against the former Chinese president Jiang Zemin at a Spanish court, accusing him of persecuting Falun Gong.

Reuters reported that the Spanish legal system gives a Spanish judge the power to become involved with and listen to any action against human rights violators. The plaintiffs are relying on this to prosecute Jiang Zemin.
