According to the report from the "Epoch Times" on October 23rd, Falun Gong spokesman Zhang Erping disclosed that Falun Gong would seek all legal means to hold the president of the People's Republic of China, Jiang Zemin, responsible for the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners in China and would initiate legal proceedings against the Chinese public security systems, as well as the assailants who beat up and tortured practitioners to death.

Quoted in the newspaper, "Taiwan Lianhe", Zhang Erping emphasized that once Jiang Zemin, or people from China's public security bureau enter the U.S., either on a business trip, visiting relatives, or just visiting the country, the criminal case will go forward. He also claimed that right now there were many people willing to provide legal help and support this action.
