(Minghui.org) Falun Gong practitioners held a rally near the Chinese Embassy in Malaysia on December 10, 2015, World Human Rights Day. They condemned the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)'s 16-year-long brutal persecution of Falun Gong and expressed support for the hundreds of thousands of Chinese citizens who have filed criminal complaints against Jiang Zemin, former head of the CCP.

An official letter of protest was handed in to Chinese Embassy officials.

Spokesperson Mr. Zhu described how the brutal persecution conforms with genocide in Article VI and crimes against humanity of Article VII in the "Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court," issued by the United Nations in 1998. The dictators who commit the crimes can be sued in any country. The main perpetrators Jiang Zemin, Luo Gan, Zhou Yongkang, and Zeng Qinghong have been sued in over 30 countries for their crimes against humanity, torture and genocide.

Wave of Lawsuits Against Jiang in China

Over 196,000 Falun Gong practitioners and their families have filed criminal complaints against Jiang to the Supreme People's Procuratorate and Supreme People's Court since the end of May.

Over one million others around the world have signed a petition urging the prosecution of Jiang. Many lawyers and politicians in quite a few countries have called for bringing Jiang to justice.

Spokesperson Mr. Cai read the same announcement in Chinese. “The brutal persecution brings immense suffering to Falun Gong practitioners and their families. Live organ harvesting is an unprecedented crime on this planet. The persecution of good people has led to judicial and moral degradation in China. All Chinese become victims in the persecution.”

He called on people in all walks of life to stand up for justice and conscience to help stop the persecution.

Background

In 1999, Jiang Zemin, as head of the Chinese Communist Party, overrode other Politburo standing committee members and launched the violent suppression of Falun Gong.

The persecution has led to the deaths of many Falun Gong practitioners in the past 16 years. More have been tortured for their belief and even killed for their organs. Jiang Zemin is directly responsible for the inception and continuation of the brutal persecution.

Under his personal direction, the Chinese Communist Party established an extralegal security organ, the “610 Office,” on June 10, 1999. The organization overrides police forces and the judicial system in carrying out Jiang's directive regarding Falun Gong: to ruin their reputations, cut off their financial resources, and destroy them physically.

Chinese law allows for citizens to be plaintiffs in criminal cases, and many practitioners are now exercising that right to file criminal complaints against the former dictator.
